&ldquo;Iceland is cool in more than one sense," says Marchant. "I recently hiked through the beautifully rugged Thingvellir National Park to witness the stunning northern lights. After relaxing in a warm, natural hot spring with my muscles and my mind completely at ease, we were ready to head to bed to dream of the adventures at <a href="http://en.hotelborg.is/" target="_blank">Hotel Borg</a> the upcoming day.&rdquo;

&ldquo;In Indonesia, you can spend the days scuba diving in turquoise waters, island hopping and lounging on white beaches," says Marchant. "The best way to do it all is by boat &ndash; but not just any boat. The <a href="http://tigerblue.info/blog/view-40.html" target="_blank">Tiger Blue</a> is a private vessel that, after a day at sea, allows a great way to fall asleep, lulled by the methodic motion of the ocean."

"From mountain biking in the outback to diving the Great Barrier Reef, I can confirm that Australia is one giant adventure," says Marchant. "I gather up strength for the activities ahead by recuperating in <a href="http://www.wilsonisland.com" target="_blank">a designer tent on Wilson Island</a>. As this little-known jewel of a location is only reachable by helicopter and sleeps just twelve at a time, the privacy and rhythmic sounds of the ocean are ideal for an undisturbed sleep."&nbsp;

&ldquo;Fine wines and delicious meals are a constant in Italy," says Marchant. "After visiting some of finest restaurants and vineyards in the area, I then like to head back to <a href="http://www.hotelsplendido.com/web/ospl/hotel_splendido.jsp" target="_blank">Hotel Splendido</a> (an exquisite ex-monastery) off the Italian Riviera to relax into the ultimate foodie dream. The glory of it all is that once refreshed from a wonderful night&rsquo;s sleep, I usually repeat the cycle all over again.&rdquo;&nbsp;

"I think it&rsquo;s important to get in touch with your wild side every so often &ndash; whether you&rsquo;re quad biking or camel riding, on a helicopter or river rafting, you will witness incredible landscapes, exotic animals and such rich culture in Kenya," says Marchant."&nbsp;<a href="http://www.loisaba.com/" target="_blank">Loisaba</a>, one of my favorite lodges, provides a way for the sightseeing to continue into the night on their star beds. You&rsquo;ll doze off on a handcrafted deck that overlooks the waterhole while gazing at a sky blanketed with twinkling stars. It&rsquo;s a magical and truly unforgettable experience.&rdquo;&nbsp;

In search of the most decadent, dream-inducing locales, we turned to Tom Marchant, co-founder of bespoke travel agency <a href=http://blacktomato.co.uk/ target=_blank>Black Tomato</a> and award-winning travel site <a href=http://www.beachtomato.com/ target=_blank>Beach Tomato</a>. “For me, combining a trip that encourages that perfect sleep whilst exploring a new area is a double win," says Marchant. "It’s not just about the thread count and how bouncy the mattress is compared to home; it's about the setting and the lead up.” Click through the gallery below for his top five night’s sleep around the globe.
