6 perfect Airbnbs for getting back to nature

“Glamping” is all the rage right now, providing nature lovers to combine the great outdoors with some much-appreciated “glam” creature comforts. We’ve found some of the best spots around the world for you to get back to nature that won’t break the bank.

Bath, UK

Smack-bang in the middle of the Wiltshire countryside lies this gorgeous and cosy glamping site. Located on a quiet farm, you can relax and unwind with the simpler things in life. Starting from $181, this listing boasts a heated indoor pool, perfect to keep you warm in the harsh British weather.

Fondettes, France

This unusual property is located in the centre of France, one hour by TGV from Paris. This “cocoon” suspended in the trees is unlike any tent you’ve ever seen. It can sleep up to 4 people and guests are welcome to enjoy the castle grounds on which the site is located. Plus, you have access to a heated pool and tons of activities.

Ko Pha-ngan, Thailand

The view from this Airbnb is truly unbeatable. Waking up to the pristine, clear waters of the island of Ko Pha-ngan every morning will make you so relaxed, you’ll never want to leave. You can shower outdoors, get a massage and indulge in the area’s award-winning restaurants. At just $156, this place is a steal.

Kerikeri, New Zealand

Situated in New Zealand’s stunning subtropical town of Kerikeri, this is sure to be one glamping adventure you’ll never forget. Guests can walk through the woods, bird-watch and go fishing to their heart’s desire. Plus, for all you social media addicts – don’t fret! There’s free Wi-Fi so you can brag about your trip as much as you want.

Paiguano, Chile

Amateur astronomers, this one’s for you! We can guarantee you’ll never have another experience quite like what you’ll have at the ElquiDomos Astronomic Hotel. This part of Chile is known for its stunning astronomical activity, and with a detachable roof, you can stargaze until the sun comes up!

Malibu, USA

Inspired by the African wilderness, this outdoor room has been dubbed by its owner as “safari chic”. Escape the chaos of the city and rewind in this unique tech-free paradise. This property is surrounded by orchards, overlooking the canyon below, and is located just a few kilometres from the Pacific Coast Highway, which will take you to some stunning Californian beaches.
