Aire de Bardenas

Prefabricated pods hunkered against the relentless wind of the Bardenas desert, this hotel in Navarre makes no effort to be cozy or rustic, and is better for it. Rooms are spare, modern, and built around the windows, which come with their own mini-mattresses so you can spend serious time staring at wheat fields and wind-carved rock. A restaurant leans on local vegetables, and the Bardenas Reales National Park is on the doorstep.
