THE OYSTER BOXSouth Africa

If you’ve ever wanted to live in a Wes Anderson dupe—this is the hotel for you.

Situated just outside of Durban, South Africa, The Oyster Box is 5-star luxury hotel with a famous cat, its own lighthouse and a host of cheeky local monkeys to keep the guests entertained.

Literally. Don’t leave your beachfront doors open unattended, they’ll raid your mini fridge.

The buffet breakfast on the pool patio is indulgent in all the best kinds of ways (oysters and Bloody Mary’s, anyone?); the day spa has its own hamam; and the variety of bars means even the booziest of us can stay entertained.

The only thing The Oyster Box is missing? Bill Murray.

From AU$500 per night
