Overlooking the otherworldly expanse of Lake Wakatipu, in New Zealand’s Southern Alps, Aro Hā is an intimate 20-room lodge offering holistic practices (yoga, meditation) meant to sculpt the body and lift the spirit. The self-sustainable property’s biggest drawing card is definitely its epic setting between colossal sapphire lakes and snowcapped peaks—into which the minimalist-chic cabins seamlessly blend. Mindfulness is a core mantra here, and you'll get plenty of practice at it—something we could all use a little help with. Hot List 2015 - Remote and Wild
