Luxury treehouse hotels are on the rise across the world. These nostalgic dreamscapes offer unforgettable experiences grounded in sustainability by incorporating both eco-friendly and resort-like elements to promote wellness and the environment.
While they may seem removed from the modern amenities of today, the following four treehouse hotels immerse guests into the natural world around them without sacrificing luxury and comfort, resulting in a one-of-a-kind stay that leaves travelers feeling well-rested and a part of the important mission to preserve our environment.
Nayara Bocas del Toro | Panama
For a romantic escape among the trees, Panama’s private island hotel, Nayara Bocas del Toro, is the place to go due to its stunning 50-foot-high tree houses that offer a host of luxury amenities and sweeping views of the surrounding mangroves and blue ocean water. Each tree house is built with locally harvested bamboo and reclaimed materials sourced from the Panama Canal and comes with a list of features, including a Javanese hand-hammered outdoor copper tub, stylish bedroom with a king-sized bed, organic cotton linens, a private terrace, reef-friendly bath and body products, and more.
Post Ranch Inn | Big Sur, Calif.
Most may stay here to enjoy its Pacific Ocean views, but Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, Calif. also offers seven luxury eco tree houses where guests can stay in the thick of the Redwood forest. These freestanding, enchanting rooms are designed to protect the roots of the native trees, while also providing guests with an immersive experience that connects them with nature. Each tree house is elevated in the Redwoods and comes complete with an organic, king-sized mattress, walk-in shower, fireplace, heated floors and, most importantly, a window seat and skylight to soak in the towering treetops above.
The Green O | Montana
Green O, an adult’s only retreat set on a 37,000-acre ranch in western Montana, now takes its luxury experience to a whole new level with 12 sustainable Tree Haus accommodations.

Treeful Treehouse | Okinawa, Japan
Tucked away in a canopy of Japan’s Akagi trees, Treeful Treehouse is a sustainable resort within Okinawa offering multiple accommodations, including the whimsical Spiral Treehouse. Built by hand around the trunk and branches of a real tree for a true treehouse experience, the Spiral Treehouse uses repurposed wood and solar-power. Thoughtful amenities include air conditioning, bathroom facilities, a hammock to enjoy the breeze of the trees by day and the starry sky by night, plus two eye masks and yoga mats for optimal relaxation.
