New to Host Unusual: American Dream Retreats, an Amazing Space, Bold Bucket List Breaks, and Many More!

25 June 2025

We’re particularly excited to introduce some spectacular across-the-pond retreats, including a luxury Californian treehouse with an outdoor spa oasis, and a unique Tiny House resort in Colorado’s ‘Double Gateway to the Rockies’. Both are well worth travelling for!

Meanwhile, if you’ve been dreaming of a bucket list break to end all bucket list breaks, then how about bedding down in a transparent capsule… elevated over 885 feet above ground with views of Argentina’s mighty Mount Fitz Roy? Or perhaps you’d prefer a glass stargazing cabin with views of Norway’s Godfjord Alps, and if you’re lucky, those awe-inspiring Northern Lights.

Staying in the UK? You could opt for a breath-taking Amazing Space in rural Herefordshire, in the form of a Scandi-style cabin with a wood-fired sauna and hot tub… not to mention views of the “very special landscape” (as described by co-presenter Will Hardie) beyond.

With summer very much upon us, we’ve also got plenty of unique family-sized retreats to share, including a glass-fronted hot tub haven in the heart of the Lake District National Park, and a Devon coastal retreat that’s secluded atop Beer Head’s scenic cliffs.

Come and get to know our latest discoveries right here!
