Once in a lifetime trips
Bored of infinity pools, private gardens by your suite and dining in
the middle of a lake? Then think of a unique holiday experience. Stay at
a centuries old castle, watch northern lights from a glass igloo or
simply chill at a windmill. No, we’re not making it all up!Houseboat under Eiffel Tower, Paris:
This could be your dream date with your beloved. Staying at a houseboat under Eiffel Tower can definitely prove all the clichés about love-struck Paris true. Rent houseboats here—they are artfully designed, offer exquisite views of the Seine and a stay to remember. Sip Parisian wine on the deck as you watch the sun go down or simply watch love stories begin around Eiffel Tower, as dusk sets in.
Glass igloo, Saariselka, Finland:
Imagine lying down on a cushy bed, cuddled up beside your partner, and watching the northern lights in the sky, all warm and cozy. Now, admit that you had put down northern lights in your bucket list. But did you ever think you could sit comfortably inside a thermal glass igloo and watch the magic in the sky unfold without as much as a shiver? These igloos prevent the glass from getting frosted, keeping the view clear even as the temperature outside drops to under -30°C. Watch the lights in the sky dance from under snug duvets and come back home to tell a beautiful story.
Tree House Shimla, Himachal Pradesh:
Camp alongside nature’s best. Watch butterflies hover around, birds tweet and fireflies vying for your attention. The Luxury Camping Resort near Shimla is one-of-its kind. Stay atop a tree and listen to the sounds of a beautiful forest. The hills make for a magnificent view and the local food is to die for. Walk in dewy mornings to experience the beauty of this place. Perfect location for complete rejuvenation for mind, body and soul.
Magic Windmill, Lisbon, Portugal:
Sleep in an authentic windmill and enjoy for a quiet holiday. Located close to Torres Vedras city, this historic windmill is set on the top of a hill with a beautiful 360º view to the countryside fields of Western Portugal. Wake up at the crack of the dawn to take a walk in its beautiful garden, warm your hands by the fire place or set up a barbecue in the evening with your family and take in the simple pleasures of a rustic life.
Dairsie Castle, United Kingdom:
This is a real castle, alright. At the heart of the historically rich Scotland. There can’t be a more ideal setting for a holiday. The 12th century Dairsie Castle has been the location of secret Scottish parliaments, military sieges and even safe haven for escapee monarchs (James VI and I in 1583). The castle became a ruin in the 19th century. It was only in 1992 that it was bought and rebuilt. It retains its original medieval character along with all modern amenities at your disposal. The castle has a dungeon, an upper tower room and lower tower room, among many other halls and rooms. Dairsie boasts of six acres of grounds including a woodland walk down to the river Eden, a walled herb garden, an orchard and a large open grass area. Want to feel like a king, stay here.
