Boho-chic combines eccentricity and elegance, like a hundred-dollar haircut that’s intentionally messy. It tells the world, "I’m a free spirit, but I still like to enjoy the benefits of a free market." And you'll find it at these nine Tablet hotels.
LessOur Habitas Atacama sits smack in the middle of its namesake location: Chile’s Atacama Desert. Exterior walls contain clay, whereas homespun furnishings and tapestries sourced from local artisans pack spaces interiorly. Neutral tones bedeck guestrooms, from the linen bedding to the dangling raffia lamps. Thatched roofs shelter portions of loungers beside the pool for hot summer days. Guests can get their boho-spa life on with one of the hotel’s Temescal tent treatments, which grasps energy from
Rugged minimalism dominates the design narrative at the oh-so-calm, trés chic Nomad Mykonos. White walls, neutral fabrics, driftwood furnishings, curvaceous tubs, well-worn sinks, and statement vases fill the 14 rooms. Other highlights include the onsite Greek eatery Kukulu Restaurant and the orthogonal pool excavated within a patio lined with Boeotian marble.
Right off the PCH in Malibu, one of the USA’s unofficial boho-chic capitals, is this 13-room boutique hotel. Here you'll find an assemblage of potted succulents and vertical cacti fronting the hotel’s cracked-pepper exterior, burnished concrete floors, timbered ceilings, and a white-cum-beige palette fill interiors; light millwork makes several appearances, from bunkbed frames to cantilevered desks.
An erstwhile finca and farmhouse repurposed into a 43-room hotel, Menorca Experimental blends Art Deco design with boho-chic undercurrents. Guestrooms sport bedding with swerved lines resembling abstract illustrations and headboards laden in muted colors. Across the room, zigzag-patterned pillows lay atop banquettes, and rattan baskets invoke a beachy mood. Stone-assembled walls cocoon the main pool, the perfect place for a nap when the seasonal hotel opens from March to October.
Tulum wrote the book on boho chic—and the 64-key Be Tulum is show & tell of it. The design harnesses the relationship between inside and outside: a narrow pool lies right beside sandy grounds dotted with gangly palm trees and tables that are a tiny fraction of their towering height. Whether it be the burlap lamps dangling from the hotel bar & restaurant’s ceilings to rooms’ earthy color palette (say “yes” to the Aire Suite and its private-plunge pool), this place oozes beach bohemian.
Situated in Cyprus, the Agora Hotel is boho-chic to its core. From the lobby to guestrooms, wood finishings and vintage vestiges populate spaces, rattan-laced furniture appears ubiquitously, and earthy tones—beiges, browns, and olive greens—lather walls, bed headboards, and textured pillows. The courtyard swimming pool magnetizes guests and those unbothered about skipping out on the nearby beach.
Costa Rica’s indelible golden sand beaches and rampant rainforest terrain sandwich the Sendero Hotel. Sustainable clay tiles and renewable woods from local teak plantations make up the hotel’s build, with eco-cycling efforts that see rainwater and wastewater flowing into their fruitful garden. Accommodations have sandy tones, June rugs, terracotta potted plants and low-slung lounge chairs.
An hour’s drive from Lisbon, this rural boutique hotel sits on Portugal’s unhurried Costa de Prata. While concrete-and-glass kits out the exterior, interior spaces feel more free-spirited: maximalist rooms come with rustic fireplaces, wood stoves, wooded bedposts, and polished concrete slabs, which function alongside taupe schemes projecting pops of color.
Awe-inspiring jungle views, plus exposed concrete and organic materials, are what you will find when staying at Bali’s Bisma Eight. The tropical-boho, teak-accented 50 rooms here have Japanese soaking tubs suffusing Canadian cedar wood and local Balinese soaps. At the Mandala Spa, expect Ayurvedic treatments in wood-clad rooms alongside a scrub bar that lets you assemble your own scrub concoction, commencing with a rice base and natural exfoliants.
