“TREE HOUSE

A tree house, a free house, a secret you and me house, a high up in the leafy branches cozy as can be house. a street house, a neat house, be sure to wipe your feet house. Is not my kind of house at all- Let's go live in a tree house.” Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends

* A Holistic Getaway*

Sanya Nanshan Treehouse Resort and Beach Club - Hainan Island, China  

This treehouse is located in the South China Sea on Hainan Island so this is a destination to really "getaway" from it all and back to yourself.  Adjacent from the property is a 5,000 acre Buddhist park filled with pagodas, temples and beautiful gardens that will help you connect mind and soul.  The owners will tell you upfront that this place is not for the "fussy" but for the environmentalist that wants a fresh air experience.  Learn more here!

*Opposite of ordinary*

Treehouse Lodge - Limon, Costa Rica

This is where you will find me :) 

I will be nestled safely in the Costa Rican Canopy between a wildlife refuge and the Caribbean Sea.  If that doesn't send tingles to your toes, I do not know what will. 

And because I cannot find a better way to describe this lodge myself, here is what Conde Nast Traveler has to say, "Tree House Lodge is a sight to behold: a split level hideaway propped up on stilts and accessible via wooden suspension bridge.  The space has air-conditioning, a jacuzzi, fridge, ipod dock, mosquito netting, screened-in windows, and a barbeque grill, not to mention its a short walk to Punta Uva beach. After a swim, guests can rinse off in a shower built right into the folds of a 100 -year-old Sangrillo Tree."  

Who is ready to go?!?!!

*Romantic treehouse lodges - aka honeymoon retreats* 

So there are a ton of lodges to choose from so here is a list of one The Knot has deemed great from honeymoons.  Everyone's taste is different so check out all of them before making your decision!  

The one I would choose would be:

  

The Daintree Eco Lodge and Spa, Australia

This lodge is located in the oldest rainforest in the entire world, 135 million years old to be exact and boast some of the purest air found anywhere!  Activities include fishing, mountain biking, horseback riding, kayaking, and rainforest safaris.  The lodge is only 35 minutes away from the Great Barrier Reef so get out there to snorkel or scuba dive.  Also, do not forget to pamper yourself at their spa even celebrities rave about.  Plan accordingly though, with only 15 tree houses on the property, book early!
