Sleep in the Treetops: 11 Magical Treehouse Hotels from Around the World
The Hapuku Lodge + Tree Houses: Kaikoura, New Zealand
This contemporary country hotel is located on a deer-breeding farm on New Zealand’s South Island. The Hapuku Lodge is perfectly situated for enjoying the Kaikoura coast and the famous Mangamaunu Bay nearby, as well as attractions in the Kaikoura Seaward Mountain Range.
Along with traditional lodge rooms, the resort has five treehouses that are nested 10 meters above the ground in a Kanuka grove. There are both one-bedroom and family options that both have large windows for enjoying the view. Activities here are perfect for adventure travelers and include surfing and rock climbing.
Lion Sands Game Reserve: Kruger National Park, South Africa
If your travel bucket list includes an African safari, then why not go completely off-the-grid and stay in an open-air treehouse in the middle of the bush? The Lion Sands Resort is situated inside Kruger National Park and offers a completely unobstructed view of the stars.
The treehouses don’t have electricity, and your only contact with the outside world is radioing rangers. Since you’ll be sleeping up off the ground, you can enjoy the sounds of lions, hippos and hyenas from a safe distance.
These luxury holiday destinations for couples will have you living the life of the rich and famous, sipping exotic drinks and taking in astounding views.
Sunset at the Palms: Negril, Jamaica
Even though this adults-only, all-inclusive resort is set in a treehouse, you won’t be lacking in luxury. The grounds of Sunset at the Palms feature expansive gardens with walkways throughout. Each treehouse has modern furnishings, beautiful decor and a private porch with a daybed.
Activities at the resort include snorkeling, cooking, kayaking and enjoying the beach. There’s also a delightful spa and six different food and beverage options.
