Booking.com Shares Five Stays With Out of This World ‘Beds’ to Celebrate World Sleep Day
World Sleep Day is celebrated across the globe on March 18 and is an important day to highlight the relevance of a good night’s sleep. The day intends to draw attention to sleep-related issues with this year’s theme focusing on quality sleep, a sound mind and a happy world.
According to Booking.com research, almost half (44%) of Indian travellers say that sleeping in helps them disconnect from their day-to-day routine and feel rejuvenated. On the occasion of World Sleep Day, as things start to go back to a new kind of ‘normal’, Booking.com, the leading travel brand, has curated a list of five properties with unique beds that provide travellers with the dreamiest sleeping experience. From a star bed to sleep directly under the stars in India to a bed made of salt blocks in Bolivia, there is a bed type for every type of traveller (and sleeper!).

Jamtara Wilderness Camp, Madhya Pradesh, India
Located at the Pench National Park, Jamtara Wilderness Camp offers a unique experience to travellers. Each luxury tent here is designed to make travellers feel one with nature, but it's the Star Bed that’s a must try. These "machans"—built on stilts to accommodate a double four-poster bed for two— are set up on a local farmer's land. They can be booked for a night under the stars and most of the revenue generated is given back to the farmer. Together with local communities, the accommodation offers authentic wildlife, natural and starry experiences. One can gaze at the fields and wildlife during the day and up at the constellations at night for an unforgettable stay.

Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat and is also considered to be one of the most incredible travel experiences in South America.
