You remember the days of school camping. You'd hand over your fifty bucks with a permission slip, the teachers would take you and your buddies out to some nondescript bush land where there were shifty cabins infested with scorpions.
Your “friends” would trick you into eating random berries. And it was the best damn time of your life (after you had your stomach pumped).
Well, you're older now, and with age comes the need to find one's own dwellings and edible berries whence globetrotting. May we present you with the ten finest man-appoved Airbnbs to ever exist in this world.
1 / 10 Tree Hotel, Sweden You are not seeing things. This Predator like tree house situated in Northern Sweden is actually wrapped in mirrors. It's a lightweight structure built from aluminium with 4x4x4 dimensions whilst the interior is plywood. What you get is a home which literally changes with the seasons, whether it's the northern sunset or Arctic Circle snow.If it's birds crashing into your home that you fear, worry not - the mirrors have a transparent ultraviolet colour laminated into it which are visible for birds only.
Access is via rope bridge and accommodation is fit for two. 2 / 10 Igloo, Greenland Cool Fact: Greenland is icy and Iceland is actually green. Thanks Mighty Ducks 2. On another note, there's an Igloo in the desolate town of Ilulissat you can book out on Airbnb. Only $355/night and you get the lovely views of a frozen lake. 3 / 10 Swiss Cable Car Hotel, Swiss Alps Can people hear you scream 9,000ft above the Earth? Not likely. You wouldn't need to anyway if you were bunkered down in this Airbnb experiment which transformed a cable car into a once in a lifetime stay for one lucky couple. The cable car is fully furnished with 2 beds, furniture and amazing views. Taking a leak would likely be a bitch. 4 / 10 Water & Sky, Spain Perched off the top of a cliff in Majorca stands this stunner which quite literally lives up to its name. The stellar views are uninterrupted and southern sunsets are a breeze with the oversized windows installed. It accommodates 8 and goes for $1279/night. 5 / 10 New York Loft, USA No matter how wild Airbnbs can get, you can never go past a classic loft in the trendier precincts of the Big Apple. This beautifully furnished space is the ultimate man pad for urban living. High ceilings, big window views of the city, close to restaurants and museums, cool work space and a hammock in the living area. A freaking hammock! We dig. 6 / 10 Nakagin Capsule Tower, Japan The Nakagin Capsule Tower is a historic benchmark in architectural development in post-war Japan by Kisho Kurokawa in 1972. For our purposes, it's a quirky and simple stay-in which only has room for one, has shared hot showers housed in a old/iconic building. You do get a futon bed though which is pretty cool. 7 / 10 Luxury Of Burj Khalifa, Dubai Situated on the 50th floor of a luxurious high-rise in Dubai is this sweet man cave complete with Burj Khalifa facing drum kit. Other views include the sea and desert expanse which help bump this designer pad to our mind-blowing status. 8 / 10 Bankok Designer Loft, Thailand Simple in design yet artistic in execution is the only way to describe this particular designer loft which has its own underground art gallery. Up top you will find even more inspiration from designer chairs to cool ornaments adorning the raw cemented walls and free standing art work. 9 / 10 Maracanà, Velvet 27 M Mega Yacht Let's get the important stuff out of the way first. $10,531/night. What you're getting though is not just any boat. This is 27 metres of pure opulence floating in the ocean with panoramic views of wherever you decide to anchor down. VIP ensuites reign supreme here with copious living quarters for up to 9 billionaires. 10 / 10 Secret Tree House, Australia No one does a good tree house like the Aussies. Situated in Bilpin NSW is this very authentic looking bungalow perched high above a gumtree with 600 acres of private (read: deadly) wilderness. It's a true back-to-nature experience with awesome touches of Australiana thrown in. It accommodates 2 guests and goes for $900/night. Remember, you are getting private views of the Bowen's Creek Gorge and Blue Mountains rainforest.
