Our favorite actual tree dwellings are the Treehouses at Lion Sands Game Reserve, which are billed as a “million-star experience” because you quite literally sleep in a tree beneath the stars. Also up there, The Hanging Gardens of Bali featuring airy villas and a two-tiered pool overlooking a vast expanse of lush jungle. In Scandinavia, Finland’s Arctic Treehouse Hotel features luxurious glass houses on a wooded slope, while Sweden's Treehotel takes the glass theme to new levels with the mesmerizing, fort-like Mirrorcube.
