Nine months into the year and it may be time to take a first (or even second) holiday. We’ve been exploring for you and have found 10 of the world’s most unique places to stay.
Whether your travel plans take you near or far; with family, friends, a partner or solo, there’s an adventure waiting for you.
1. Hola! – it’s the 727 Fuselage Home in Costa Rica
In the jungles of Manuel Antonio you’ll find a unique hotel suite inside a refurbed vintage 1965 Boeing 727 airframe.
The classic aeroplane used to take passengers on South Africa Air and Avianca Airlines. Now it sits elevated 50 feet off the ground, providing both jungle and ocean views from a deck that’s built on the wing.
The location offers the best of both worlds if you can’t decide what type of holiday you need. It’s nestled on the edge of the National Park and not far from the shores of Espadilla beach, just some of the 801 miles of coastline Costa Rica has to offer.
And for your morning pick me up, you will be drinking the famous Tarrazú – considered to be the finest coffee beans in the world thanks to the rich volcanic soil.
Match this holiday with our Hammamas Original in Flame
If you thought that you’d never get a good night sleep on a plane then think again!
This time a former Pan Am aeroplane and in rather a more Metropolitan location, Oscar Dios spent 6 months and £1.5m converting an old 747 jet into a hostel which now sits on a disused runway at Stockholm’s Arlanda airport.
There are now 33 rooms instead of 450 chairs and we suggest you make your stay really more memorable and book out the luxury suite.
There’s also a lounge and a bar on-board; and when you’ve played captain, head into Stockholm and start exploring one of the 14 islands.
Match your stay with Hammamas Classic Ash
Our second stop in Sweden, this time for an underwater holiday 60kms outside Stockholm at Västerås harbour in the Archipelago.
Book a mini-break at this floating mini-hotel with it’s underwater bedroom. You’ll get a panoramic view with windows on all four sides of the underwater room. Rise and shine to relax on the deck, and swim in the lake before taking the rubber boat to one of the nearby uninhabited islands for a Fika (pronunciation: [fiːka]), and meaning “coffee break”).
Translated as Otter Inn, you’re more likely to see pike, perch, zander, trout and salmon as you head off to sleep! Oh and there is no electricity, so you can digitally detox on this holiday!
Match your stay with: Hammamas Coast in Navy and Sand
250 metres from the shores of Pemba Island, on Tanzania’s Zanzibar Archipelago, you’ll find the luxe version of Sweden’s Otter Inn, at The Manta.
Floating off the coast of East Africa, The Manta’s underwater room is anchored to the ocean floor with deck and accommodation above.
By day guests will see coral reefs and plenty of marine life including coral which has taken up permanent residence on the anchoring lines. At night, the underwater spotlights help attract the shyer and more unusual visitors such as squid, octopus and Spanish dancers.
Match your stay with a nautical touch with a Hammamas Reef in Navy / Raspberry
Built in 1923 to disguise a 30,000 gallon water tank, now you can get all your best mates together and stay in this Grade 2 Listed, five story fairytale house, nicknamed: the Home of Peter Pan.
Sitting on a Meare on the Suffolk Heritage Coast in the Eastern Counties of England, the House in the Clouds is one of the country’s most famous follies.
Once you’ve made it back down all 68 stairs, spend your holiday exploring the beaches, museums, abbey ruins, castles and ancient walled gardens.
For a house this tall, you’ve got to match this holiday with something from our Jumbo range!
Ever wondered what glamping would feel like when combined with spherical hanging tree houses? Well wonder no more. Tucked away in the lush Canadian forest near Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island, you’ll find four cool, quirky and truly unique “hotel rooms”.
If you’re seeking peace and relaxation on your next holiday then reconnect with nature, whilst reducing your human footprint to near zero in one of these spherical treehouse cabins.
Match your trip with Hammamas Circa in Daisy
In the village of Jukkasjärvi, 200km north of the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland, you will find the original hotel made of ice and snow. It’s “reborn” every year with the help of artists from around the world and you can take a tour of the hotel to take in the handiwork and even join a class with an ice sculptor!
By night the temperature inside the hotel hovers at a constant of -5 to -7 C and guests snooze away in expedition-style sleeping bags. By day you can try dog sledding, skiing or snowmobiling or fishing.
The northern lights season and golden autumn starts in September, as days begin to get shorter; so if you go now then you can catch the autumn aurora.
Match this with a towel to use as an extra blanket and take a Hammamas Luxe in navy
Holiday in a glass-roofed igloo, tucked into the snow at the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort in Finland. The amazing frost-resistant thermal glass, means you get an uninterrupted view of the northern lights and starry sky.
You can browse the ice sculpture gallery for inspiration and then request your very own unique sculpture to decorate your igloo. If you’re going with the kids, they’ll enjoy a visit to Santa’s Resort where you can visit Santa’s house, sip hot drinks and munch on ginger biscuits made by elves whilst making friends with the local reindeer.
Go in late December and for a truly Nordic experience, book a reindeer-drawn sled ride. Match this with our Hammamas Aztec
If you don’t want to join the other 10 million Aussies going overseas then try these out for your next holiday:
Sal Salis – a beach side Safari camp in the Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia
The Pole House, a hovering property set on a single steel pole along the Great Ocean Road in Fairhaven.
Happy travels!
