Forget cookie-cutter hotels. These are overnight stays that become the highlight of your entire trip — from icy palaces to treetop UFOs to ancient cave hideaways. Quirky, luxurious, and totally unforgettable.




1. Treehotel – Harads, Sweden

  • Childhood treehouses, reimagined for grown-up dreamers.
  • Each room is a modern art installation suspended among the trees.
  • Stay in the Mirrorcube (it vanishes into the forest with mirrored walls) or the UFO, which floats above ground like it’s about to beam you up.
  • Big windows, stylish interiors, and total silence in Sweden’s boreal forest.
  • For travelers who like a side of surrealism with their stargazing.



2. Ice Hotel – Jukkasjärvi, Sweden

  • Rebuilt from scratch every winter — beds, walls, bar, and all.
  • International artists carve each suite into a frozen work of art.
  • Room temperature? About -5°C (23°F). But don’t worry — thermal sleeping bags and reindeer skins keep you cozy.
  • By morning, you’ll swear you slept in a sculpture gallery. Bonus: the Northern Lights often make a guest appearance.



3. Manhausen Island Resort – Steigen, Norway

  • Oceanfront cabins with glass walls that feel like you’re floating on water.
  • Located in the remote Steigen Archipelago above the Arctic Circle.
  • Minimalist Nordic design meets rugged coastal views.
  • Incredible solitude — just you, the stars, and maybe a few seals.
  • Ideal for digital detoxes and quiet wonder.

Sleeping in weird places isn’t about being uncomfortable — it’s about waking up somewhere unforgettable. Whether you’re floating in a tree, chilling in an ice suite, or burrowed into a hillside, these stays are destinations all on their own.
