Treehotel – Sweden

Treehotel, Sweden offers boutique glamping rooms like never seen before and are among some of the most imaginative hotel rooms to date. Hidden amongst the trees, each room is suspended within the forest, and every room is as creative as the next. Guests have the option to stay in a room which is surrounded by mirrored walls to the outside world. In particular, the camouflage mirror shell allows guests to get lost in their surroundings in this hidden retreat– and the imagination exhibited by the Treehotel owners doesn’t stop there. Guests are also offered a number of other hidden rooms within the forest such as ‘the bird’s nest’, ‘the cabin’ and ‘the ufo’. Their names are relatively self-explanatory. Moreover, each of these rooms is suspended by the tree trunks in mid-air, reachable only by a bridge or drop-down staircase. The exciting treetop bedrooms are accompanied by the features of the hotel. After sleeping amongst the trees, guests can stroll down to the hotel guesthouse and enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner prepared with fresh local produce by a leading chef.

Located in the heart of Harads, a northerly Swedish town, Treehotel rooms are the perfect camping spot to explore the many wonders that Sweden’s landscape has to offer. Guests can go sledging with Huskies, tackle ice-fishing on a private lake, enjoy snow sports such as skiing and snow walking, relax with a Swedish massage in the forest spa and tree sauna, or take a trip to gaze in awe at the magical Northern Lights. These unique treetop hideaways offer everything that a luxury traveller could wish to find in the forests of Sweden, and so much more.

Tye River Cabin Co. – Washington State, USA

Imagine that you have stepped through the wardrobe to Narnia. In the depths of the white forests covered in snow are three picturesque cabins. Elegantly designed for ultimate comfort and a place to enjoy everything that the outdoors has to offer, the a-framed cabins are tastefully designed to suit their surroundings. Warm lights, hot tubs and queen beds to cosy up in make for a luxurious stay in the wilderness.

These cabins are where the real adventure begins – with cross-country skiing through the fresh powder of the morning and hikes which lead travellers to crystal clear lakes. When the ice begins to thaw and the snow melts away, the adventure doesn’t stop there. Golden and green leaves appear as the season changes to Spring, allowing guests to see the views and wildlife which had been hidden by the winter months. Kayaking, fishing and horseback riding are all on the doorstep of Tye River Cabin Co. guests.

Art Villas – Costa Rica

Villas and chalets don’t really fall under the category of ‘glamping’. However, an exception can be made for Costa Rica’s Art Villas. The ‘Coco’ suite truly epitomises the luxury glamping name tag, as while these little domed nests offer every indulgence expected of a hotel, they still embody the raw, earthy connection to nature within the jungle of Costa Rica. Nestled at the top of the forest’s canopy is The Coco, a suite with an unrivalled private view of the tropical landscape. Falling asleep under the stars, surrounded by nature and the fresh air, relaxation at this green treetop sanctuary is a breathtaking experience. The suite includes lavish amenities such as a spacious lounge area, pool, wrapping decked terrace and waterslide. The villa also offers a host of relaxing experiences from yoga to cookery classes with some of the best chefs that Costa Rica has to offer. Art Villas’ Coco Suite is a destination for lovers of luxury travel and the benefits of taking a step into nature.

Bubble Iceland – Iceland

Sleeping beneath the stars is one of the prime attractions for travellers looking to find hidden luxury glamping retreats. Imagine exactly that, but even better; imagine sleeping under the stars in a snow globe for a bedroom. Bubble Iceland is a self-proclaimed ‘5 million-star hotel’ which offers exactly this. Nestled in amongst nature are cosy little pods which are attracting travellers from all around the world. Combining the luxurious touches of a boutique hotel with the unspoiled surroundings, Bubble Iceland has perfectly captured the meaning of ‘glamping’ in their pristine, modern pods.

Surrounded by nothing but Icelandic woodland, winters offer magical snow and cosy nights beneath the white sheets, while in the summer months, guests are awakened by the buzz of the nature surrounding them and the glowing rise of the sun. Immersed in the surroundings, guests can relax and enjoy the simple pleasures that nature brings, and which often passes us in our busy lives.

Pan Treetop Cabins – Norway

It is evident that Scandinavian landscape and design is ideal for a luxurious glamping retreat. Pan Treetop Cabins are another highly innovative example of Norwegian design which are paving the way for the luxury glamping scene. These particular cabins are a remarkable piece of architecture and the sleek design is almost as breathtaking as its surroundings. Elevated into the air, the ingenious treetop cabins are able to host not only two people, but six. Equipped with a double bed, four single beds, a kitchen, electricity, running water, the list goes on. The Pan Treetop Cabins are nothing short of a hotel suite that has been placed onto a pedestal deep within the Norwegian woodland. This unique experience is surrounded by natural wonders and beautiful landscape to be discovered. Guests are also offered to experience a selection of activities such as climbing across ropes suspended within the woodland trees, hiking, fishing, a sleigh ride or a wolf safari. When wanting to unwind, yoga or a selection of spa treatments such as massage are offered. Who knew that living in the treetops could be quite so wonderful?

It could be said that glamping is the best way to step out of your comfort zone in comfort. The unusual circumstance of a 5* bedroom being located in the middle of the countryside, forest or jungle; far removed from any other civilisation, is one which may seem quite strange to city dwellers. However, having discovered the remarkable options in this Top 10 Hidden Luxury Glamping Retreats, even those of us who live and love our city lifestyle and would have never dreamed to go camping will be sure to be left dreaming of the possibilities and beauties which can only be discovered in this way.
