Far from standard hotels, travelers can find these extraordinary accommodations worldwide for a spectacular vacation. Even those who prefer a bit more comfort can find the right place among selected luxury treehouses.

In South Africa, with stunning views of the breathtaking scenery of Plettenberg Bay, nature lovers will find the Tsala Treetop Lodge. This hotel is nothing like a treehouse without comfort; here vacationers can indulge themselves-Infinity pools, massages, and a personal fire pit make it possible.

The retreat Tsala is located amidst indigenous old-growth forests. Since 2001, this luxury treehouse hotel with lots of wood and glass has stood here and fits into its surroundings. Particularly beautiful: All ten suites have a sun and observation deck.

In the heart of nature, near Park City in the state of Utah, you can stay in this treehouse. It offers a fantastic view and fulfills childhood dreams.

A 200-year-old fir stands guard over adventurous visitors at night, who don't have to forego any luxury in the accommodation with a bedroom, loft, skylight, kitchen with hot water, and a terrace.

Special highlight: In the main room, there are 180-degree glass windows offering breathtaking views of the Uinta Mountains.

In the Okavango Delta in Botswana, South Africa, there are new eco-lodges of the highest class. Here you can be one of the first visitors-the Xigera Safari Lodge has just opened. The hotel is situated on one of the waterways of the Moremi Game Reserve.

Travelers can stay particularly close to nature in the Baobab Treehouse about one kilometer from the camp. From here, they can enjoy Botswana's unique landscape.

There's something for the budget traveler too: Not far from the Turkish holiday destination Antalya, in Olympos, Kadir's Top Tree Houses sway. The treehouse hotel is a bit more rustic: The multi-bed rooms have wood-paneled walls and communal bathrooms.

The area is particularly forested and offers visitors a variety of outdoor activities. Here you can enjoy fishing, diving, or snorkeling.

Last call: Passengers of this luxurious airplane treehouse are invited to enjoy the view! At Hotel Costa Verde on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, guests truly feel like they are boarding a plane. Here, a Boeing 727 has been transformed into a vacation residence.

At 15 meters above the ground, the visitor 'flies,' and instead of wings, there are two spacious balconies. From here, guests can observe the native fauna of the surrounding forest-maybe even make friends with a sloth ...

Looking for a truly cozy treehouse? You'll find it in New England's forests. At Winvian Farm, there are 18 unique cottages, one of which stands 35 feet high in the trees. The treehouse spans two floors, accessible via a covered staircase.

The accommodation features a king-size bed, a pull-out sofa, two fireplaces, a steam shower, a bar, and a hot tub. This luxury comes at a price: A night starts at $799.

Are you a true Saxon? In Sollingen near Uslar, you'll find several treehouse hotels. They are storm-proof, but you'll have to forgo 'ground-rooted'-besides nine treehouses, there are even tent hammocks. These are suspended about 1.5 meters high between three trees. The treehouse hotel opened in 2008.

The small houses are equipped with a small compost toilet and a balcony with seating. During the day, you can enjoy the forest, many small streams, and the green and agricultural landscapes, and let your mind truly relax.
