3Lion Sands Game Reserve, South Africa

This gorgeous getaway in South Africa's Sabie Sand Reserve features sweeping views of nature and opulent amenities. Though the resort offers traditional indoor suites, more adventurous guests can opt to instead sleep outside—albeit in comfy 4-post beds!

4Estate Bungalow, Sri Lanka

Tucked away in the rainforests of Sri Lanka, this minimalist and modern hut is the perfect place to star-watch in solitude. On top of its stunning views, this floating getaway is exceptionally eco-friendly; since it's elevated above the jungle's canopy, water can run and vegetation can grow underneath it.

6The Starlight Room, Italy

Aptly named for its starry panorama, this cubic cabin offers unobstructed views of the skies above. Equipped with only a bed and a heater, the tiny glass room is free of distractions, enabling its guests to fully immerse themselves in nature.

7Natura Vive Skylodge, Peru

If standard, grounded getaways don't appeal to you, these sky-high pods may be a bit more enticing. Suspended along the cliffs of Peru, the glass-encased accommodations offer adventurers an awe-inspiring place to skywatch. Just don't look down!

8Manta Underwater Room, Indian Ocean

While the main draw of Manta Underwater Room is its aquatic attributes, the floating bungalow also boasts an impressive observation deck. Accessible by a ladder and topped with a comfy bed, the terrace is the perfect place to soak up the sun or sleep under the stars.

9Nature House, the Arctic Circle

You may be surprised to learn that this striking dome isn't a vacation house. Named the Nature House, it is actually the permanent residence of the Hjertefølger family. In addition to its spectacular views of the surrounding landscape and the starry skies, the three-story structure features a solar geodesic dome, making it strikingly sustainable.

10Oasis, Anywhere!

And, finally, for travelers who prefer the nomadic lifestyle, the Oasis dome is a portable way to sleep under the stars. Unlike traditional tents, the transparent shelter offers 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape. Finally, you can sleep under the stars anywhere in the world!
