Recharge your batteries in the world's first five-star, self-sufficient Podtel, blissfully secluded amidst a breath-taking backdrop of Granada's iconic Sierra Nevada range.
  • Sleeps: 2 (+2)
  • Bedroom: 1
  • Bathroom: 1
  • Minimum stay: 1 night

The perfect blend of sustainable ethos and cutting-edge technology, DistrictHive Colony is the world’s first truly autonomous Podtel.

Crafted to ‘tiny house’ principles, the private and self-sufficient retreat cleverly creates its own water, energy, and waste treatment, that means you can escape to just about anywhere in the world… however remote.

As such, you’ll discover the first Podtel stirringly set against the untamed, iconic landscape of the Sierra Nevada range in Granada, Spain.

With breathtaking natural scenery covered, what can you expect from The Colony itself? Powered by a custom-built concierge-app downloaded to your mobile, you’ll feel as though you’re relaxing in a state-of-the-art mirrored spaceship that’s just landed on Earth!

You’ll enjoy full kitchen and shower facilities, together with whizzy multi-functional cabinets and storage space, as a sumptuous living room looks out over that awe-inspiring landscape. At the end of each day, curl up in your choice of a double bed or two single ‘hidden’ beds, all dressed in fine organic cotton linen.

Unique touches come in the form of a vending machine that dispenses tasty snacks from around the world… oh, and a stargazing deck with an anti-gravity floatation tank!

Yes, you could head out and get lost in distinctive mountain nature for a while. But you may well feel that your stay at DistrictHive Colony is so distinctive in itself, that there’s really no need to move a muscle.
