Checking in to a National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World means opening the door to a wealth of new experiences. The properties themselves offer much to explore and appreciate: stunning architecture and design, incredible views, innovative sustainability solutions, excellent cuisine, comfortable common spaces that fit the destination, and gorgeous grounds. But then they go further, offering you a wide array of activities to help you engage with their unique surroundings—whether it’s snorkeling or wine tasting, horseback riding or guided walking safaris. As a guest on a National Geographic Expedition, you’re also treated to an exclusive, complimentary experience to delve even deeper into the local culture and environment—a private nature walk with a wildlife biologist, for instance, or a cooking class with the lodge chef.

On this website, you’ll find what you need to get started. Peruse our lodge profiles to learn about the diverse experiences they offer, or hone in on a particular destination or activity you’re seeking.
