Think of the wooden houses “growing” on trees, they are like a castle in the forest, a mysterious shelter like a maze that attracts explorers. These “tree resorts” are quickly becoming a strongly developing trend for nature lovers. If traditional hotels are often evaluated by architecture and design, then tree houses blend with nature, connecting visitors and the world of plants in the most natural way. Let’s experience the famous tree houses in the world:
Tranquil Resort in Kerala, India

This is truly a wonderful experience. Inventor Tom Chudleigh has created globe-like houses. The globes are suspended between trees, suggesting instability and precariousness. This reminds people of the inevitable connection of humans with the ecosystem of the earth.

Bellavista Village in Zona Sur, Costa Rica
A decade ago, Erica and Matt Hogan stumbled upon a piece of land that was being logged. They bought it, saved it from deforestation, and turned it into Bellavista Village. Today, the site encompasses 600 acres of rainforest, mountains, rivers, and organic gardens. The only energy used is solar. The treehouses occasionally house animals, helping them find food. Visitors can explore the rainforest in a friendly, intimate way.

Papaya Playa: Tulum, Mexico
About 80 miles south of the capital city of Cancun, there is an eco-resort nestled in the coastal town of Tulum. While Papaya Playa started as a traditional hotel, they later added beautiful two-story homes nestled in the Mexican jungle. The wooden homes use local wood and a Mayan construction technique called “Chukum,” which uses trees to cool the inside of the home.
