In The Times, Graeme Green rounds up ten of the world’s most glamorous and remote hotels, places far removed from the noise of modern life where the journey is part of the adventure. Alongside retreats in the Himalayas, the Arctic Circle and the Great Bear Rainforest, Capella Lodge on Lord Howe Island makes the list.

Green describes World Heritage-listed Lord Howe as remarkably untouched, with visitor numbers capped at 400 to protect its coral reefs, turquoise lagoons, subtropical rainforest and the twin peaks of Mount Gower and Mount Lidgbird. Capella Lodge enjoys an “extraordinary island position” above the lagoon and white sands of Lovers Bay, its nine suites opening onto private decks with views of Mount Gower and the coastline.
