The outside area has a lavishly furnished deck, perfect for evening drinks at the end of a long day of exploring the Volcanoes, or one of the many beaches.

The luxury doesn’t stop here: the treehouse has a hot tub, surrounded by the beautiful rain forest.

4. Glamping Villa in the Mountains of Kaua’i

6. Magic Lotus Tent- Hana

This tropical estate has so much to offer, with colourful flowers, avocado trees, mandarin trees, lemon trees, and even mango trees. Guests are welcome to pick fruits that are available during the season. Biting into a juicy mango that you’ve picked yourself is the best way to start your morning!

The tent is secluded, yet is only 15 minutes from black and red sand beaches, National Park, lava tube, and Hana town. The perfect place to relax.

7. Volcano Treehouse

Sleep in the peaceful rainforest in Volcano, 15 feet above the ground! The downstairs lanai has a Balinese-style queen-size day bed. This place is the perfect space to chill out and take in the amazing scenery.

This is an off-the-grid and solar-powered accommodation, but there is electricity for lighting, ceiling fan, and charging your phone. The room is very close to the Kilauea Volcano (active volcano). During the day, the centre of the volcano appears as grey smoke. However, in the evening it will appear bright red, with lava jumping and spraying up. A truly unique experience.
