World's Most Romantic Hotels

Olarro, Masai Mara, Kenya

On a hill in a private reserve within the Maji Moto Group Ranch, owned by the local Masai people, this eco-lodge was designed by Anthony Russell, the architect-conservationist behind the award-winning Shompole. The curvaceous thatched-roof structure, built to blend in with the undulating landscape, houses seven guest cottages with whitewashed walls, exposed beams, and polished flagstone floors.

Amazing Race: The lodge borders the area’s wildebeest migration route. Get a front-row seat on your veranda, or book a helicopter ride for a bird’s-eye view of the action. Doubles from $1,370, all-inclusive.
