Join us on a trip around the world to seek inspiration for the hotel-style bathroom of your dreams

Do you visit luxury hotels and resorts overseas and find yourself thinking, “Now this is exactly what I need at home!”? I know I do; almost every resort stay results in new ideas for a bathroom renovation of the luxury variety.

Though the bathroom ideas you dream up when surrounded by luxury may seem a little too extravagant for everyday life, think about how relaxed and happy you were feeling at the time. Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could replicate that at home every time you stepped into your bathroom?

This is the one space in your home that is dedicated to me-time. It’s where you can unwind, relax and indulge yourself. It’s true that replicating a hotel bathroom down to its marble floor-to-ceiling tiling, high-end spa bath and panoramic ocean views may be a little too costly — and perhaps downright impossible — but it is possible to gather a few favourite features from these spaces to design a luxurious bathroom for your abode.

Intrigued? We’ve taken a look at a few of our favourite hotel and resort bathroom spaces from around the world and explored features that can be replicated or adapted to your own space. Prepare to be transported to Thailand and Morocco, then to the Philippines and finally to Brazil to source features worthy of your new hotel-inspired bathroom.

KEEMALA BIRD’S NEST VILLA: Phuket, Thailand

Inspired by the native Rung-Nok Clan (Nest Clan), who enjoyed an opulent life, the Bird’s Nest Villas at Keemala Resort are the epitome of nature-inspired luxe. The well-lit bathrooms featured in these villas are ideal for relaxing and rejuvenating. The stone bath overlooks the lush mountains, the stone flooring mimics the soothing texture of rocky surfaces surrounding the nearby ocean, and direct access to the beautiful private pool is available. The mosaic-tile floor finish in the shower is particularly noteworthy; it was designed by Chiang Mai native artist Surachai Sripaiboon, who also created the mosaic murals at the welcome pavilion and lobby of the resort.

LA MAMOUNIA: Marrakesh, Morocco

La Mamounia, a palace-hotel located in the lively Moroccan city of Marrakesh, was designed to provide guests with a wholly sensory experience. Its rooms and public areas embody the very best of Morocco’s rich culture and design practices — Zellige tile work in Majorelle blue, green and orange, the flowing lines of Arabesque sculptures, the textured fabrics, and gentle warmth of woods combine to create a visual and tactile feast for travellers hoping to relax and rejuvenate amid Morocco’s beauty. The bathroom pictured, one of the hotel’s many breathtaking spaces, exudes an irresistible sense of Moroccan luxe, with the benefit if modern technology and fit-outs.
