YUNNAN PROVINCE, China — In a world increasingly traveled, the remote destination has become the holy grail of the adventurous traveler. Even Mount Everest, the Antarctic and space (once the final frontier) can be yours if your pockets are deep enough.
Enter the remote guesthouse, part of a new breed of vacation hideaways that tap into our desire to escape the well-beaten path. From treehouses in Borneo to snowbound lodges in the Himalayas, they promise the chance to escape the modern world but without having to forgo luxuries.
