When planning a romantic vacation, most lovebirds desire a hotel that is intimate, private and secluded. But let’s get real: Not all hotels, with their long corridors lined with room after room, truly foster this sort of ambience. When the cookie-cutter hotel room just won’t cut it, and you’re desiring a hotel with a hideaway vibe that would make Barry White proud, keep this list in mind. We’ve curated a small collection of hotels across the country—all bookable on Orbitz—that offer intimacy, privacy and seclusion, mostly in the form of private cottages, cabins, villas and bungalows onsite. Check them out before you book your next romantic escape.

You might mistake this luxurious getaway for an island resort in the South Pacific. Located off the Florida Keys coast, Little Palm Island Resort & Spa is a secluded haven for lovers, only accessible by private seaplane or boat. It features 30 suites in beachfront, thatched-roof bungalows spread throughout the island’s six acres. Captivating ocean views and the company of your sweetheart take priority here, as you’ll find no telephones or televisions in your bungalow abode. It’s a swoon-worthy digital detox for couples 18 and older, designed to foster connection and romance.

Korakia Pensione: Palm Springs, CA

Korakia Pensione offers a sexy desert oasis in the heart of Palm Springs. In fact, Forbes Travel Guide named Korakia one of the “Sexiest Hotels in America.”  Originally owned by silent film star J. Carrol Naish in the 1930s, the property includes unique villa accommodations—just 28 in total—that evoke the sensual aesthetics of Greece and Morocco. Guests must be over the age of 13, so you’re unlikely to have your quiet, relaxing moments in the courtyard–perhaps enjoying a full breakfast or Moroccan tea service–disturbed by cannon balls into the 24-hour outdoor pool.

Each is outfitted with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, marble bathroom, outdoor rain shower, screened porch and windows that offer spectacular nature views. When not nesting in your bungalow, pay a visit to the Tree Spa at Hidden Pond, which features three treetop spa rooms eight feet above the ground, connected by a catwalk that weaves through the trees. The setting has summer camp vibes—only way more luxurious.
