To be honest, when I was a child I dreamed regulary about having my own cozy tree house. And I‘m sure, almost all of you did as well. The childhood days are over, but now we can escape from the concrete jungle, break contact with the ground and become a part of the wild nature world for a few days. These unique UFO-looking spheres are situated near Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island, hanging about 20 feet off the ground in the peaceful rainforest. There are three kinds of spheres: Eryn, Melody (rooms for 2-3 guests) and Eve (the smallest one, for 1 person) that vary in size, material and interior. Each of them is handcrafted and vertically suspended to three trees with the help of harnesses. This technology minimizes the risk of damaging the trees.
The hotel is open year-round, every season is a new and wonderful experience for all nature lovers.
