High Living: 9 Beautiful Tree House Hotels
Did you spend all your time in your tree house as a kid? Or were you
brokenhearted because you never had one? Well, these nine gorgeous
hotels can turn your childish tree house fantasies into grown-up
realities. These rustic-luxe (or just luxe) tree-house-style bungalows
will let you live among the birds (and, in some cases, monkeys). Who
says you have to give up on your childhood dreams?
Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur
Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur
The Post Ranch Inn’s organic architecture is breathtaking, seeming to
grow out of the ground beside the hotel’s surrounding redwoods, and the
spacious, eco-sensitive rooms have ocean or mountain views, as well as
wood-burning fireplaces and private decks. The Tree House rooms, are, as
the name implies, elevated into the trees.
Aqua Wellness Resort, Nicaragua
Aqua Wellness Resort, Nicaragua
Aqua Wellness Resort is a rustic-luxe retreat with eco-friendly
design amd lush vegetation (expect to spot wildlife such as howler
monkeys and iguanas). The stilted tree house bungalows are adorned with
lots of natural wood; some units include plunge pools and stunning ocean
views. The white-sand beach is secluded and beautiful, the restaurant
serves simple but tasty local dishes, and group yoga classes on the
ocean-view wooden platform are free.
Sunset at the Palms, Jamaica
Sunset at the Palms, Jamaica
Sunset at the Palms has relaxed, Balinese-style decor, and most of
the rooms are set within a series of stilted bungalows (referred to as
tree houses) across the lush property. Across the street from the beach,
the upscale Sunset has a warm, helpful staff, intimate setting, and
great food — all of which create a relaxing retreat that’s a far cry
from the crowded chaos at most all-inclusives.
Four Seasons Costa Rica
Four Seasons Costa Rica
The Four Seasons describes its suites as luxury tree houses, and they
are in fact perched in the hills and suspended into the trees. They
have extra-large terraces, some with plunge pools. Easily among the most
luxurious resorts in Central America, The Four Seasons is as close to
perfection as it gets. With two beautiful beaches, ocean views from each
one of the sumptuous rooms — decorated in materials including wood,
bamboo, and stone — and an 18-hole golf course, the resort makes it
possible for guests to spend their whole vacation on-site.
Anse Chastanet Resort, St. Lucia
Anse Chastanet Resort, St. Lucia
Opened in 2000, the 49-room Anse Chastanet Resort was one of the
first properties to focus on eco-luxury design, and to deliberately shun
technology such as TV, telephones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi.
Technology-free rooms suspended into the trees have wrap-around
terraces, many with views of the Pitons.
Haramara Retreat, Sayulita, Mexico
Haramara Retreat, Sayulita, Mexico
This luxurious yoga retreat located on 12 seaside acres of wild
vegetation just outside Sayulita was built with traditional construction
techniques to minimize the environmental impact, and there is no
electricity anywhere besides the restaurant and the yoga studio — not
even in the rooms. Each room is housed in a private standalone thatched
hut perched in the trees with no window panes or screens separating it
from the jungle, and only gauze curtains and mosquito nets to avoid bugs
and critters.
The Lodge at Chaa Creek, Belize
The Lodge at Chaa Creek, Belize
Chaa Creek, one of Belize’s first eco-lodges, has evolved from its
humble beginnings as a working farm to become a premier luxury retreat.
This sophisticated operation includes rustic-luxe, thatched-roof
cottages — some, like the Treetop Suites, elevated higher into the
jungle; wonderful service; and modern amenities such as an infinity pool
with jungle views and a full-service spa.
Lapa Rios Ecolodge & Wildlife Reserve, Costa Rica
Lapa Rios Ecolodge & Wildlife Reserve, Costa Rica
Lapa Rios, located in the remote coastal rainforests of the Osa
Peninsula, sits amid 1,000 acres of rainforest filled with wildlife. The
16 wooden, thatched-roof bungalows provide a tree-house-like
experience, and some are perched above the treetops. There are many
comforts here, including a pool overlooking the ocean and a splendid
restaurant serving sumptuous cuisine.
Portofino Beach Resort, Belize
Portofino Beach Resort, Belize
Owners Jan and Sandra opened this romantic hideaway in 2001, and
today it has 16 rooms (many cabana-style units with thatched roofs,
including the aptly named Treetop Suite) and one mansion for families
and groups. The room decor is a mix of Belizean and Guatemalan textiles
and furnishings, and the ambiance is unpretentious (the owners call the
vibe “barefoot elegance”).
