How this list is built

Private lodges with a published room or tent count, fewest rooms first. Exclusive-use villas are listed separately.

95 lodges qualify, with at most two per operator so one brand doesn't fill the list. Rankings use only facts shown on the lodge pages, with sources. Nothing is paid placement and nothing is based on reviews.
