Mirrorcube | Sweden

The Mirrorcube is hidden in the middle of the Swedish forests. Designed by architects Bolle Tham and Martin Videgård. Excellent for literally making you invisible and retreating into nature. The cube is surrounded by mirror walls so that the 4x4x4 meter space completely blends in with the surroundings. The first house is 500 meters away and the cube is 12 meters high. So you have to climb a bit on the rope ladder to reach your king-size bed. There is room for two people in the cube; there is a balcony, a toilet, seats and a sustainable water system to wash your hands.

Longitude 131˚ | Australia 

Overlooking the Uluru and in the middle of the Australian desert lies Longitude 131˚. The camp in the middle of the wilderness consists of 16 luxury tents, each offering a glamorous base. The custom-made furniture in the tents is designed by Australian designers, supplemented with works by local and indigenous artists. Through the large windows at the end of the bed you can enjoy all the beauty of the outback and the view of one of Australia's most famous sights; the Uluru. The southern skies with cool, clear nights and the absence of light from nearby cities make for a stargazer's paradise. And although you might expect it to be in the middle of the desert, the camp offers a spa and you can enjoy a culinary dinner under the starry sky.

Canonici Di San Marco | Venice 

The lodges of the Italian Canonici Di San Marco are just 20 minutes from Venice. This exclusive resort offers an oasis of peace where you can surround yourself with nature, without giving up comfort. This very first glamping site in Italy was designed with a passion for nature, a refined interior, but an unconventional love for travel. The cupboards, inlaid headboard of the bed and the wooden fossilized sink made of 10.000 year old natural wood are central to the lodge. You wake up with a view over the private garden where the mulberry trees in the centuries-old orchard offer a breathtaking view.
