To help you have the holiday of your dreams, we’ve rounded up some of the most unreal hotels we could find.
So whether you’re looking for a special holiday or you just want a gawk, here are 11 hotels from around the world that are positively amazing…
1. Treehotel, Harads, Sweden
This place is like glamping on a whole new level.
The brainchild of a creative Swedish couple who wanted to return to their home village and make something different, the pair decided to build a hotel in the woods comprised of treehouses. Seriously.
An utterly unique hotel experience, here you’ll find seven different buildings found among the branches, including treehouses built to look like a mirror cube, a bird’s nest, and a UFO.
How’s that for different?

2. Nayara Spa & Gardens, La Fortuna, Costa Rica
At this Costa Rican spot, it’s hard to know where exactly the forest ends and the hotel begins.
With its private gardens and terraces with secluded Jacuzzis, pool, tapas bar and spa perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking woods, we can safely say this is a pretty unique holiday experience.

3. Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve, Ceres, South Africa
If the African wilderness holds a special place in your heart, then you this is the place for you.
Kagga Kamma started as a small stone cottage on a 15,000-hectare property back in 1987, but when visitors saw the structure and fell in love with it, the owners knew they were onto something.
After that, they built a hotel composed of cave and hut suites, as well as open-air beds, where guests can sleep under the night sky, free from light pollution, allowing you to see the stars as you never have before.

9. Crane Hotel Faralda, Amsterdam, Holland
Another strange one, but also very cool.
After a four-year battle to gain permission to convert the crane in a hotel, the novel accommodation is now open for business.
The innovative structure offers a fantastic view of Amsterdam, luxurious spa pools, and wonderfully decorated bedrooms.
Not bad for a former pile of scrap.
