Treehotel is a modern residence suspended high above the leafy canopies of Sweden's Harads forest. This fusion of contemporary architecture and whimsical fun is the ideal place to cosy up among the trees—and it's only 50 kilometres from the Arctic Circle.
Treehotel was conceived by entrepreneur Kent Lindvall and consists of four forest dwellings, each custom-designed by a different architect. Choose between the reflective Mirrorcube, the camouflaged Bird's Nest, the wooden cabin, and the otherworldly UFO as your lodging.

Leopard Hills Private Game Reserve – Sabi Sand Game Reserve, South Africa
Sabi Sand Game Reserve is one of the best places on the planet to see the "Big Five" (the lion, elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros). Safaris abound in this region, with daily excursions whisking tourists along dirt roads while nature's top predators roam freely in the distance. Look no further than Leopard Hills Private Game Reserve if you want to spend the night in the heart of the action.
This impressive property, perched high above the South African bushveld, features private decks with swimming pools overlooking the game reserve. The spacious guest rooms are surrounded by towering trees, providing plenty of privacy. Night-time allows you to see nocturnal animals close to the property's boundaries. And stargazing is something else here.
Four Seasons Tented Camp – Chiang Rai, Thailand
Four Seasons Tented Camp – Chiang Rai, Thailand
Thailand is a whirlwind of contrasts, with bustling cities, sublime beaches, and peaceful forests. No trip to Thailand is complete without exploring the country's tropical wilderness, and Chiang Rai is ideal for doing so. It is Thailand's most important city in the north, and beyond it are the remote jungles of Laos and Myanmar.
Stay at Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle (SHA Extra Plus) to elevate your adventure in Chiang Rai. Don't be put off by the word "tent"; mahogany four-poster beds and open-air bathtubs overlook dreamlike vistas of clay-colored, whirlpool-filled rivers, tropical jungles, and misty mountains. This is the most opulent treehouse experience you'll find.
The Tree House Resort – Chandwaji, India

At The Tree House Resort, a lavish oasis hidden high among the trees, you can immerse yourself in tropical bliss. Wake up to the sound of birds chirping and observe wildlife from your window—it's an excellent vantage point. Only moments of stillness and tranquilly interrupt the march of nature here. At dusk, enjoy spectacular views of the Aravalli Range from the patio, with only the lullaby of crickets and cicadas for company.
