For many holidaymakers, there is nothing more important than a room with a spectacular view.
It could be a plush suite in a skyscraper hotel, a treehouse in the middle of nowhere or even a room beneath the surface of the sea.

They include Africa's first underwater hotel room - 13ft below the surface of the Indian Ocean, north of Zanzibar - where guests can admire marine life from the comfort of their bed.

For adrenaline junkies, only the Natura Viva Skylodge Adventure Suite will do. Guests must climb a 400ft cliff face to reach the suite, which is on the side of one of Peru's highest peaks.
