If the location of Six Senses Svart doesn't leave you speechless, it's eco credentials will surely do the trick. Perched on the foot of Svartisen - Norway's second-largest glacier - the property is set to become the world's first "energy positive" hotel when it opens in the Arctic Circle this year.
Suspended on stilts above the crystal-clear waters of the Holandsfjorden fjord, the ring-shaped establishment will generate its own solar energy, which will not only power up the hotel but also support operations such as the boat shuttle that'll whisk guests to this otherworldly nook of the globe. Home to just 94 rooms, complete with sweeping glass windows, it will be the perfect perch from where to enjoy Mother Nature's spectacular shows, no matter the time of the year. Make the most of the endless days in summer, or soak up front-row views of the northern lights in winter. And don't forget to keep an eye out for the wild creatures: Arctic foxes, eagles and reindeer all call this part of the world their home. sixsenses.com
