Mandarin Oriental Hotel, New York City, USA
While a lot of the bathtubs on this list offer views of natural settings and sheets of blue ocean, there’s definitely a place for urban landscapes, too. The Mandarin Hotel in NYC boasts one of the best views in the city of Central Park and the Lower East Side. There’s something very special about being as tranquil as can be in a lavish bathtub, watching the city that never sleeps move quietly beneath you.

Madikwe Hills, Madikwe, South Africa
How would you like a candle-lit bubble bath as you watch wild animals roam the surrounding plains? Sure thing. Madikwe Hills is set on 75000 acres of land which serves as your view during your outdoor bathing session. Not bad at all.

Thalia Haven
Thalia Haven in Tassie’s Great Oyster Bay isn’t for the faint of heart – partly because of Tassie’s temperamental weather, but also because the views are so breath-taking you’re likely to need to sit down. Good thing there’s a ridiculous outdoor bathtub you can sink into to take in the view.
