Travelers, get ready to rest your head in some rather unusual places. From a tree house to a bus and a “nest” to an igloo, these awesome sleeping spots go (way) beyond your average accommodations. So, step aside, traditional hotels: Spend the night in one of these 10 cool sleeping spots instead.
Free Spirit Spheres, Qualicum Beach, British Columbia, Canada
Harken back to your childhood days for a night (or two) in the forest near Qualicum Beach where you can sleep suspended in one of three Free Spirit Spheres. These spherical “tree houses for adults” are constructed using boat-building techniques and hang from rope tethers up in the area’s Douglas firs. The spheres – named Eve, Eryn and Melody – are designed to fit seamlessly into the forest without disturbing their natural surroundings. They sway gently with the trees with the aim of fueling creativity and giving guests a spiritual experience and a sense of connectedness. Insulated and wired for power (with built-in speakers), these funky tree houses feature open floor plans inside. Bedding, towels and complimentary snacks are provided, and separate shared bathroom facilities are available.
