The cabin is built of bamboo and blends perfectly into its lush surroundings of local fruit trees, flowers and aromatic herbs which attract a bevvy of exotic birds.

Despite of its (albeit luxurious) Swiss Family Robinson aesthetic, the cabin also comes fully equipped with all the modern amenities, including this spectacular indoor/outdoor chef’s kitchen and barbeque.

When not curled up in front of the fireplace or kicking back in the hammock, guests can take a swim in the nearby river, go for a hike in the surrounding tropical forests, or explore Jardín’s main square, less than five minutes away.

At the end of the long day, return home for a dip in the hot tub or snooze in the catamaran net on the second-storey balcony.

Moments from walking routes and the Blaeberry River, this is the ultimate wilderness retreat – but there's nothing rustic or traditional about it.

There are two queen-sized bedrooms and a sleeping loft perfect for eight guests. Immaculately crafted, beautifully warm and kitted out with everything you could need for a luxurious escape in the wilderness, this amazing cabin ticks all the boxes of a dream home.

Nestled in the heart of a pine woodland in Sussex, England, the Evergreen Cabin is eco-friendly, stylish and unique. The two-storey structure was built from redundant shipping containers, while recycled materials such as corrugated metal and timber have been used to complete the striking retreat, which featured on the UK TV show, George Clarke's Amazing Spaces.

It was also constructed to have minimal environmental impact, and solar panels power the home’s electricity.

There’s an alfresco dining spot, a firepit and even a hot tub where guests can while away the hours.

Nestled in the heart of nature in Van Zandt County, Texas, this is proudly North America's first beehive-shaped retreat. Known as the HoneyHive, the dinky property is quirky, cosy and surrounded by truly dreamy scenery. Let's head inside...

The first floor boasts a luxe bathroom with a free-standing tub, positioned right by a window for picture-perfect views while you soak.

Yet the best part of the cabin has to be its idyllic bedroom. Located on the top floor, it has a sitting area and a nook, fitted out with a big mattress and snug duvet.

It might look like an unusual rock formation, but this cabin serves a very cool purpose. Designed to promote hiking in the mountains near Hammerfest, Norway, the hut is almost one with its rocky surroundings.

Commissioned by the Hammerfest chapter of the Norwegian Trekking Association, it was curated by SPINN Arkitekter and FORMAT Engineers. The two firms worked together to create a retreat that could withstand the region's extreme climate.

The cabin gets its unique shape thanks to 77 individual timber panels, slotted together over a cross-laminated timber shell. The result is a warm, cocoon-like hut that is entirely resistant to icy Arctic winds, rain and blizzards. In fact, it was tested against a wind simulator to ensure it could withstand even the most extreme gusts, before being transported to the mountain.

Inside, there's just 161 square feet (15sqm) of space, decorated with simple, warm wood. Perfect for weary hikers, wooden benches have been built into the walls, while tables and stools provide spots for dining or resting.

With no artificial light, climbers have to rely on the hut's wood-fired stove and lanterns for illumination at night, while during the day they can take in views thanks to the huge, angular window.

There's a small but functional kitchen, an office desk, a spacious queen-sized bedroom and an ensuite bathroom. There’s also a mini wood-burning stove and electric blankets for when the temperature begins to drop. 

As for interior décor, the property is laid-back and rustic, with exposed pine walls, ceilings and floors, and plenty of industrial touches, including a homemade concrete basin that was crafted from sand sourced from the surrounding land. 

Truly one with nature, the cabin boasts folding glass doors that connect the bedroom to a covered outdoor deck with mountain and sea views.

Positioned in an awe-inspiring landscape in the shadows of Ben Ohau mountain in Canterbury, New Zealand, Skylark Cabin epitomises the beauty of simple timber structures.

Designed by architect Barry Connor, the property was conceived as a vacation retreat that truly makes the most of its surroundings.

The homeowner wanted the cabin to be simple and honest, while fully connecting with the environment. Orientated towards the Black Hills and Backbone Peak, the tiny home has an angular roof that was inspired by the skylarks that occupy the area. 

It also has a glazed gable at the front, allowing for seamless views of the landscape beyond. The exterior is clad in a rough-sawn larch timber rainscreen, which protects it from the area's alpine climate.

Spanning 538 square feet (50sqm), the interior has been finished with contrasting light beech plywood with black-edged detailing.

Inside, there's a living area, kitchen, dining space, bedroom and bathroom. In the bedroom, a viewing window has been installed in the ceiling, allowing the lucky occupant to wonder at the famous stars found inside the protected Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve.

Designed by the experts at O2 Treehouse, this stunning woodland retreat was built to harmlessly co-exist with its natural surroundings.

Elevated off the ground, access can be gained via a long, 50-foot (15.2m) bridge, which leads to a floating open deck that’s perfect for soaking up the forest scenery.

Constructed using O2 Treehouse’s unique Equilibrium System, the luxury treehouse is formed from modular foundations and an insulated panel system. Prefabricated in a factory and shipped to the site, the zero-impact retreat is both striking and eco-friendly. 

Inside, the sustainable structure was curated to make the most of the view. Floor-to-ceiling windows and ample skylights frame dazzling views of the sky from almost every space while filling the interior with sunlight. There’s a reading nook, a fold-out bed and a composting toilet – all you need when disconnecting and immersing yourself in nature.

Ufogel is an open-plan holiday home located in Nussdorf, Austria. Made almost entirely from larch wood, the multi-functional living space is just over 480 square feet (45sqm).

Access to the ground is via a bridge, so the structure almost appears to float on top of the meadow where it's sited.

The marvellous tiny home boasts large picture windows, which provide panoramic views of the Lienz Dolomites. The curved timber structure is covered with traditional shingles that help create a warm and snug interior.

The contemporary cabin has underfloor heating, a wood-burning stove for the colder months and an air-conditioning unit for milder days. The bedroom zone has two beds that are separated with a screen that adds extra privacy to the small space.

Nestled in the forest overlooking the Salish Sea, Pleasant Bay Lookout is, on paper, one simple room measuring just 121 square feet (11sqm). In reality, it's so much more! 

Set in the heart of nature, the entire back wall of the cabin is made of glass that frames stunning views over the ocean below.

Available to rent via Airbnb, staying in the lookout means forgoing some home comforts. The bathroom is 40 seconds away along a wooden walkway, but the peace, solitude and connection with nature more than make up for it.

Any guests planning a stay at the overnight shelter need to be fit and mobile, as it sits off the main road at the bottom of a set of steps.

Inside, the woodland cabin has a comfortable recliner as well as a modern sofa that converts into a bed. The timber-clad ceilings only add to the welcoming, rustic aesthetic, while the numerous windows and doors allow light to flood the living space.

Clad entirely in reclaimed oak, this coastal cabin in Navidad, Chile, is spectacular and sustainable in equal parts. Nestled on a steep hillside 262 feet (80m) above the Pacific Ocean, La Loica was designed by the team at Croxatto and Opazo Architects as a holiday home that would seamlessly blend in with its surroundings. 

Manufactured from reclaimed timber, the cabin was treated with petroleum oil, which provides a barrier against marine corrosion.

With the appearance of a lookout tower, the clifftop cabin is formed from a series of compact stacked cubes that minimise the structure's impact on the environment.

It sits on a hidden platform, supported by pressure-impregnated wood, while the home's narrow design ensures it's protected against the area's blustery winds.

Thanks to large picture windows that face the ocean, the cabin benefits from breathtaking views from every living space.

One of two cabins positioned on this coastal stretch, La Loica – meaning The Crazy – measures just 215 square feet (20sqm). Meanwhile, the other residence, known as La Tagua, spans 269 square feet (25sqm).

The interior of each upcycled tiny home is decorated with recycled wood, which provides natural insulation and a rustic, streamlined feel. There's a lounge, dining room, bathroom and kitchen, as well as a mezzanine bedroom that truly makes the most of the view.

Nestled in the heart of Charlevoix Forest in the Petite-Rivière-Saint-François area of Quebec, Canada, this incredible property is almost invisible from certain angles.

Aptly named the Mirror House, the immersive retreat is decked out with everything guests could need for an unforgettable weekend away. There's an open-plan living area with a dining space, lounge and kitchen, as well as a queen bedroom and a bunk room.
