The coolest treehouse hotels on the planet

Admit it, even you could entertain yourself for hours as a child by building forts in the living room with blankets. When you went outside to play, you went on an ‘expedition’ with your homemade knapsack, and your biggest life goal was to have your own treehouse. God knows why: humans have always found treehouses to be a cozy and fascinating phenomenon. Me too. And that's why today we're taking a look at some posh treehouses for adults to gawk at on this drizzly Sunday.

1. Lion Sands Game Reserve, South Africa

With a real safari experience, you naturally have to stay overnight in a lodge. Sleeping in the middle of the African bush among wild animals sounds amazing to me. It can be done in Kruger National Park. Look, eh, it's not cheap, but it is unique.

2. Treehotel, Sweden

My goodness. Hidden in a forest behind the small village of Harads, close to the Arctic Circle, a collection of unique hotel rooms ‘hangs’. How about the mirror cube, where you practically camp invisibly among the trees? And they even considered the birds: due to the ultraviolet layer on the glass, the little creatures don't fly into it.

What does that little joke cost? 500 bucks per night. But then I'm talking about a once in a lifetime experience, right?

3. Keemala, Thailand

If you've always wanted to go to Thailand (do it, do it, do it as far as I'm concerned) and are looking for a totally Instagram-worthy hotel: I'm here to help. The Bird’s Nest treehouses at hotel Keemala (about a forty-minute drive from Phuket) are world-famous thanks to the enchanting green fairytale landscape. That. Swimming pool. Stop. It. With. Me. First book a cheap ass hostel and then finish the last two days in style, come on.

4. Wollemi Wilderness Cabin, Australia

Goodness gracious, beautiful. Sleep in this love cabin and all you do is make love and stare outside with your mouth open. If you don't enjoy every minute of this, then I don't know anymore. And for that 319 dollars per night, it's still quite affordable if you have something special to celebrate, right?

5. Aqua Wellness Resort, Nicaragua

An alarm clock? What's that? In this posh treehouse, you wake up tranquilo in the morning to the sound of exotic birds. Put it on the wish list: a visit to the lush tropics on the Emerald Coast in Nicaragua. And especially this treehouse if possible. You're welcome.
