My Arbor, Northern Italy

You're nowhere closer to nature than in one of the many beautiful tree hotels. The My Arbor on the Plose in Northern Italy, which opened in 2018, is a unique retreat in this respect. Here, you can not only admire the green giants, but also take in the view of the valley of Brixen. Naturally, wood also plays a key role in the 104 rooms and suites. It gives them a homely ambience and makes them smell of the forest. The 18-metre-long infinity pool is also very beautiful. The sprawling spa promises additional moments of relaxation.

Keemala Phuket Resort, Thailand

Keemala Phuket Resort

You can find tree hotels all over the world. The trees may change, but the concept doesn't. And yet Keemala Phuket Resort is something special. Guests of the Small Luxury Hotel of the World sleep in Bird's Nest Pool Villas, among others. The round accommodations are equipped with every conceivable luxury. And they really do nestle like birds' nests in the lush tropical nature. Private pools make the experience almost surreal. Incidentally, the cuisine and the Mala Spa leave nothing to be desired.

Even as a child, Satoru Kikugawa wanted to build a tree house. Little did he know at the time that he would actually start as an adult in 2014. Nor did he know that his dream would become one of the most beautiful tree hotels in the world. After all, he had never built a tree house before. But that's exactly what happened. He taught himself how to use various tools via YouTube. With success. Because today his guests sleep in a forest in the north of Okinawa in the "Spiral Treehouse" and "AeroHouse", which are connected to each other. Breathtaking design, handmade and sustainable!
