Treehouse Hotels Are For All Ages

Keemala is an enchanting hideaway of rustically lavish villas nestled on a hillside under a forest canopy. Amongst these are the Tree Pool Houses which honor the “We-Ha” (Sky) clan who worshipped the stars and lived and slept suspended in the trees to be closer to the sky. They span two floors and offer private pools.

Perched on a secluded cliff, Secret Bay’s villas overlook the Caribbean Sea on one side and rainforest on the other. For the ultimate treehouse experience, opt for one of the impressive Ti-Fey Villas which are two or three stories high and complemented by a private plunge pool. 

Atop the cliffs of Big Sur, Post Ranch Inn sits where sky and ocean meet on the Californian coastline. All of its suites and freestanding houses are unique but the aptly named Tree House sets guests up to sleep amongst the trees and stargaze through the above-bed skylight.  

On the shores of Oualidia’s lagoon, La Sultana Oualidia presents a more serene side of Morocco, one where relaxation and ecology go hand-in-hand. There are only twelve rooms and suites here, each unique, with the Treehouse Suite nestled in a tree facing the lagoon being one of the most exclusive. 

All of Soneva Kiri’s eco-friendly villas immerse you in the natural elements but for a unique treehouse experience, book the resort’s treepod dining. This once-in-a-life-time experience involves a bamboo pod which lifts guests up into the forest canopy and a fine dining meal delivered by a waiter via zip line. 

A rainforest boutique hotel for adults, Rancho Pacifico is where days are spent taking in incredible views of the ocean and the natural wonders surrounding it. Hide away in one of its Rainforest Treehouses, each secluded in a private nature preserve featuring an outdoor soaking tub on the deck hidden amongst tropical foliage and peeking out to the ocean. 

North of the eco-marine town of Kaikoura, you can find Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses, located on a deer farm at the base of a mountain range near the coast. Its five treehouse accommodations, spanning one-bedroom suites to family houses, are lifted above the ground amid a native Kanuka grove, providing far-reaching views of the mountains, rugged coastline and Pacific Ocean.

JOALI offers a uniquely artistic resort in the Maldives, where a collection of artworks unfold across the island within a setting of shimmering lagoons, ivory sands and lush palm trees. Guests here can be delighted by the Manta Treehouse, an installation by Cape Town architect Porky Hefer. It’s the ideal spot for having breakfast, a secluded dinner or simply lounging by the idyllic scenery.

Cradled in the boughs of an ancient mahogany forest within the beauty of the Rift Valley, &Beyond’s all-inclusive Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is an intimate safari for experiencing Tanzania’s nature and wildlife. Its ten stilted treehouse suites are crafted from local timber and makuti palm fronds, offering privacy and a cooling sanctuary, with the occasional elephant strolling by. 

In the smoky Blue Ridge Mountains in the highlands of Virginia, Primland Resort is a 12,000-acre estate surrounded by a natural paradise of forested peaks and sun-drenched valleys. Aside from the regal lodge and romantic log cabins and cottages, there are three intimate Tree Houses here perched above the Dan River Gorge looking out to sweeping views of the Kibler Valley.
