With the warmer weather, many people will get bit by the travel bug this season and visit resorts in Europe, Asia, or the Carribbean. While we’ve discussed some beautiful modern hotels on our blog in the past, resorts around the world are also beacons of modern furniture and design, providing luxury and a relaxing vacation to their visitors.
While some vacationers prefer a nitty gritty experience, with hiking, camping, and solo exploring, those that prefer relaxing vacations as a time to put their feet up and be pampered will love the resorts on our list. These resorts with modern designs and furniture are the epitome of class and the perfect place to unwind for a few days (or longer!).
Nizuc, Cancun, Mexico
One of the Top 100 Hotels in the World (2018), Nizuc was previously a Mexican presidential hideaway that has now become one of the most luxurious resorts in the country. It is surrounded by natural beauty in the mangroves and Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, so it naturally follows that the resort furniture inside is modern, sleek, and comfortable. It features wood accents such as plank walls, wool rugs, and stone accents throughout the resort. These all come together beautifully in the rooms which feature hard lines, relaxing black and grey motifs, and beautiful modern armchairs and tables to help you relax. Nizuc is a beautiful mix of traditional materials with modern design and furniture.
Point Yamu by Como, Phuket, Thailand
If you’re interested in an adventure further from home, Point Yamu in Phuket will give you all the luxury you need. The rooms in this resort were designed to have contrast between natural and modern designs. There is stark white everywhere punctuated with breezy turquoise accents. Many of the rooms feature this bright turquoise as their main feature, giving energy and life to the accommodations.
There are many features of this resort’s modern design and furniture that exemplify this mix of natural and modern. Rock-studded walls, brightly painted logs, and different colour schemes across the resort mixed with sand, wood, water, and sky provide this beautiful contrast that modern design and furniture is so well known for.
Casa Angelina, Amalfi Coast, Italy
Craving some authentic pizza? Casa Angelina in Italy is perhaps the most post-modern of the resorts on our list. The property itself is sleek and white, naturally complementing the blue waters of the Mediterranean upon which it sits. And it does sit upon it, being built directly into a hillside overlooking the sea! The resort is filled with glass sculptures and abstract paintings, while the rooms themselves are punctuated with angular headboards and side tables and desks with sharp lines. The rooms are flooded with bright, natural light, which is a pillar of modern resort design.
Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa, Bora Bora, French Polynesia
When you picture a luxury getaway, one of the first things that might pop into your head is overwater villas. Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa in French Polynesia fits that bill perfectly! The thatched roof huts appear to be traditional and natural on the outside, but inside, glass bottomed floors, bright ocean-coloured palettes, and modern furniture give this resort its place in our modern furniture list!
The resort does a fantastic job of creating modern furniture out of natural materials. Wood floors, planks on the walls, and even chairs themselves that look like they are carved out of tree trunks are modern, but also still feel like a traditional chalet or cottage. There’s no doubt even with the natural materials and outward appearance that this resort’s modern furniture places it among the most modern resorts!
Ready for a Resort Getaway?
If you’re in the mood for some modern luxury but not planning on going on any exotic vacations this summer, a little bit of modern furniture in your home or business goes a long way!
