Unique Experiences at These Unusual Hotels
When speaking of hotels, the first thing that comes to mind is a large building structure with multiple stories, a lobby, front office, and a labyrinth of precision hallways. But, you’ll be surprised to discover some of the world’s most unique hotels. Ranging from accommodations that offer underwater views of the sea to sleeping in a desert environment, some hotels really standout.
And below is a collection of the hotels you need to have under your radar if you are in pursuit of an experience of a lifetime.
1. The Manta Resort, Pemba Island, Zanzibar
A beach-lover’s paradise, the Manta Resort in Pemba Island, Zanzibar, is known for its beautiful beach villas. The atmosphere is surrounded by fringes of palm trees and pristine waters. The resort’s hidden gem is the underwater room that features a double bed. Guests can spend their nights or day looking at the colorful coral reefs and awe-inspiring fish species. As you advance to the sea bed, you will find a simple living area and an attractive bathroom.
Further up is a patio that offers the perfect spot for sunbathing or watching the stars at night. There are many other pursuits you can indulge in during your stay. They include scuba diving, spa treatments, and outdoor explorations of the island.
2. The Treehouse Hotel, Sweden
Step back into your childhood days with a vacation in the Treehouse Hotel situated in Sweden. The hospitality of the establishment features seven gorgeous living pods, suspended about 20 feet above a forest. Guests can access their pods via a suspension bridge, stairs, or a ladder.
A unique aspect of the hotel is a room that looks like a colossal bird’s nest. Another resembles a UFO saucer, and another is a one-of-a-kind reflective cube. As the guests enjoy their stay, they get to interact with the magnificent views of the quiet forest and inspiring sight of the Lule River.
Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of the guided tours provided by the hotel’s employees. Near the hotel is the village of Harads, which has a population of 600 people. And if you are a foodie, you can have a hearty Swedish meal at the on-site restaurant.
3. The Muraka Underwater Hotel, Maldives
The Maldives is known for its extraordinary underwater accommodations that will take your breath away. Whether you are on a romantic vacation or traveling as a solo explorer, the destination is worth a look. One of the must-visit places in the Maldives is the Muraka hotel immersed in the Maldives’ azure waters. One of the fascinating stories about the hotel is that the architects had to construct the room in Singapore, then transported it across the Indian Ocean, and anchored it underwater.
However, the mind-gobbling thing about the hotel is the accommodation fees [$40,000]. That’s a significant disposable income that only the affluent can afford. Still, if you have a relatively lower budget, you might want to spend a night at the nearby Conrad’s undersea residence on the nearby Rangali Island.
Muraka’s underwater accommodation features a dome-shaped ceiling and it’s entirely made of glass. These aspects offer guests a chance to wallow in the underwater atmosphere as they view marine life.
4. Kokopelli’s Cave, Farmington, New Mexico
The Kokopelli’s Cave is a remote B&B nestled 300 feet above the dramatic La Plata River Valley. It is named after an engraved rock carving of a flute-playing figure artistically sculpted by the Native Americans who called it the southwest home.
There are interesting historical attractions that add to the activities to undertake in the destination. Visitors can access the resort entrance, 70 feet below, through descending stairs. Once you reach the base, guests have the chance to explore the 1,700 square-feet cavern, which was blasted by geologists Bruce Black who wanted to create an office out of it.
Kokopelli’s Cave offers out-of-this-world fixtures and amenities that include a waterfall shower, Jacuzzi, a full kitchen, living room with a hearth, and a balcony, where you can relax as you enjoy the panoramic views of the desert landscape.
