Treehouses have ceased to be a childhood dream to become one of the most in-demand rural tourism experiences in Spain. They combine the adventure of sleeping in the heart of nature with the comfort of a unique accommodation, offering a total disconnection from urban noise and complete immersion in the environment. The popularity of these stays has made the offering increasingly varied, making it difficult to choose the ideal option.
The offering is growing and becoming more varied, so it is advisable to choose according to the type of getaway. There are romantic and luxury options, proposals for sustainability and simplicity, and accommodations designed for a family adventure.
To get it right, look for the balance between location, services, capacity and budget. In this guide, you will find accommodation in forests in Spain with their characteristics, indicative prices and the type of traveller they best suit, as well as keys to planning nearby activities with Picuco.
1. Treehouses (Zeanuri, Bizkaia)
Sleeping several metres above the ground, among European beech trees, with the comfort of a well-equipped room. The Treehouses of Zeanuri (Bizkaia) are located between the Gorbeia and Urkiola natural parks and remain an option for a getaway in the heart of nature.
The booking is managed directly on their own website, without intermediaries and with personalised service. There, you can see each treehouse with its photo gallery and its altitude and capacity details, so you can choose the one that fits a romantic getaway or a family adventure.
Zeanuri is in the interior of Bizkaia, a short drive from Bilbao and the Gorbeia natural park. It is advisable to book in advance for weekends and bank holidays, when demand increases.
Highlighted features
In Zeanuri, Bizkaia, next to the Gorbeia and Urkiola natural parks, there are treehouses with a capacity of 2 to 5 people depending on the one you choose. Ordering extras is simple: a romantic pack with cava and flowers, or access to the outdoor ecological spa, an outdoor Finnish-style spa.
The options range from intimate to spacious. The Suite Oooh! is completely round and has a terrace all around it, with 360-degree views. Breakfast arrives in a basket that is lifted up with a pulley.
Indicative prices start at 185 €/night for two people with breakfast included. Sustainability is part of daily life: dry toilets in some treehouses, integration into the ecosystem and an ecological spa.
Tips for booking and staying
Before booking, check the specifications of each treehouse, especially the bathroom and access to running water. The showers in the treehouses without private bathrooms are in an annex building, the "common treehouse". If you are looking for more comfort, the suites are the best option.
Mobile coverage may be limited, so keep that in mind if you need a connection. The location allows you to go hiking and visit places of cultural interest in the surroundings.

2. Basoa Suites (Lizaso, Navarra)
Basoa Suites is a treehouse accommodation in Lizaso (Navarra) with seven suites among oaks, in the Ultzama valley, designed for couples looking for intimacy and disconnection.
The forest of centennial oaks surrounds the cabins and sets the rhythm of your stay. Before booking, visit their website: you will see each of the seven suites with photographs, floor plans and the description of their layout and views, so you can choose the one that suits you best.
Highlighted features
At Basoa Suites, in Lizaso (Ultzama Valley, Navarra), breakfast and dinner arrive in a basket that you pull up with a pulley. This way, you can eat without giving up the privacy of the cabin.
The suites are for 2 people and are mainly oriented towards adults. Indicative prices start at 100 €/night for two people.
Book in advance if you are looking for a romantic getaway in the Ultzama Valley: the accommodation is small and demand is high during the season.
Tips for booking and staying
At Basoa Suites, in Lizaso (Navarra), check-in is done via their own app, Okmystay, without fixed schedules and with direct access to the cabin. It is an accommodation with high demand and very oriented towards weekend getaways, so it is advisable to book well in advance if you are looking for specific dates.
Think about who is travelling with you: it is an accommodation designed for adults and for those who value silence and tranquillity. It is not the most suitable option for families with small children.
From this location, you can organise an escape to discover medieval Navarra and its impressive castle route, which complements the nature experience.

3. Cabañitas del Bosque (A Coruña)
Cabañitas del Bosque scatters its cabins across estates in Galicia, with award-winning architectural design and the Atlantic forest as a neighbour.
Their website works as a catalogue of experiences: each cabin is presented as a refuge of comfort and nature, and from there you book directly. You can filter by estate and type of cabin, with availability calendars and prices clearly visible.
Each accommodation includes photo galleries, equipment and views. This helps you decide between a romantic getaway with a jacuzzi or a family holiday in the heart of nature.
Highlighted features
The cabins of Cabañitas del Bosque, in the province of A Coruña, have innovative architecture recognised with the CSCAE 2020 Spanish Architecture Award. They are built with low-impact materials and are integrated into the landscape.
Many include an indoor or outdoor jacuzzi, a fireplace and large terraces with views. The inventory ranges from compact and cosy cabins for couples to spacious options for several guests, spread across different estates in Galicia.
On the website, you can see real-time availability and the price breakdown, including optional supplements such as the use of the fireplace in some cases. Indicative prices start at 150 €/night and vary according to the cabin, equipment and season.
Tips for booking and your stay
Each Cabañitas del Bosque estate has its own location, so when booking, check which one you are choosing: some are closer to the estuaries and others are deeper in the forest. This difference changes the type of stay.
If you travel in winter and are looking for a cosy experience, check if the cabin has a fireplace and if using it incurs a supplement. Mobile coverage and Wi-Fi may be limited in some areas, which is perfect for a total digital detox.
The accommodation is a great starting point to explore the surroundings, such as the nearby Fragas do Eume Natural Park, one of the best-preserved Atlantic riverine forests in Europe.

4. Airbnb – 'Treehouses' category (Spain)
Airbnb is not an accommodation: it is a marketplace where individual hosts from all over Spain list their treehouses. The 'Treehouses' category brings together hundreds of options, from simple rustic constructions to luxury suites in the heights.
Before booking, use the filters to narrow your search by location, dates, number of guests and amenities such as a swimming pool or jacuzzi. You can also select the option to travel with pets.
The website and mobile app allow you to discover the offers and compare options with just a few clicks. Choose dates with some margin if you are looking for a specific cabin during high season.
Key features
Airbnb brings together accommodation from the "Treehouses" category in practically all autonomous communities. There are everything from family projects to professional glamping complexes, so you can choose the format that fits your trip.
Reviews from previous guests allow you to compare real experiences and rule out accommodations with a bad reputation. Also, check if the host is a "Superhost": these accommodations follow a standard of quality and service.
Capacity varies greatly, from 2 people to family groups. Indicative prices range from 80 € to over 400 €/night, not including service and cleaning fees, which vary between listings.
Airbnb manages payments securely and sets clear cancellation policies, which change depending on the host. Sustainability depends on each host, although there are options with ecological certifications.
Before booking, check the capacity, the final price and the cancellation policy of the accommodation that interests you.
Tips for booking and staying
A treehouse is booked with the same logic as a flat, but with more preliminary questions. Before confirming, read the full description of the listing, the house rules and the reviews from other travellers. Also check the photos to ensure the accommodation matches your expectations.
If anything is unclear, contact the host through the platform and resolve your doubt before booking. Service fees and cleaning costs vary between listings: check the final price breakdown before confirming.
Filters help you choose what you are looking for, from an isolated cabin for a digital detox to one with all the modern amenities. This type of accommodation is perfect for planning nature escapes in Spain with a touch of originality.

5. Booking.com – 'treehouse' stays / 'sleeping among trees'
Booking.com is one of the largest booking portals in the world and serves as a showcase to find unique accommodation, including treehouses in Spain.
The portal does not have a specific category for these stays. Search using terms such as "treehouse" or "sleeping among trees" alongside the area that interests you.
Each listing includes photo galleries, a list of services, cancellation policies and ratings from other travellers. This way, you can compare prices, conditions and experiences of several treehouses in one place before making your decision.
Verified reviews give you an extra layer of confidence when booking. Filter by area and dates, check the cancellation policy and book when you are clear on the conditions.
Key features
Booking a treehouse in Spain almost always involves a platform with extensive inventory. Booking.com brings together many accommodations, so you can check availability and compare prices between treehouses without opening several websites at once.
Reviews from previous guests help you assess the quality, cleanliness and whether the description of the accommodation matches what you find upon arrival. If you book often, the Genius programme gives you access to discounts.
It is advisable to check the fine print of each treehouse before confirming:
- Many accommodations have flexible cancellation policies, which is helpful when planning.
- Customer service is multilingual and operates 24/7 for enquiries or issues before, during or after your stay.
- There are locations all over Spain, depending on the inventory available at any given time.
- Each accommodation sets its own conditions and capacity.
- Prices vary greatly depending on the treehouse, the location and the season.
The main advantage lies in the comparison: an established brand, with a review system and global support, lets you decide with more information and fewer open tabs.
Tips for booking and staying
The search filters help you narrow down by price, rating, or specific services such as "pets allowed" or "breakfast included". Before booking, read the conditions for each accommodation carefully: cancellation policies and included services vary from one to another.

6. TheTreehouse.Shop (For builders)
If you are going to build a treehouse, the hardware decides whether it holds up and whether the tree suffers.
Their catalogue includes special tree screws (GTS - Garnier-Treehouse-Screw), supports, anchors, and complete kits designed to withstand different loads. The site speaks to an audience with technical knowledge: the design is clear and accessible, and the technical documentation is exhaustive for anyone considering a project of this magnitude.
It is suitable for both a serious DIY project and a commercial one. Before buying, review the documentation for each system and calculate the loads for your design.
Key features
All components are German-made and are designed to allow the tree to grow without damaging it, unlike homemade solutions.
The website offers detailed guides to choosing the right tree, calculating loads, and selecting the correct fastening method. Their team of specialists provides direct advice on complex projects.
In the catalogue, you will find GTS screws, dynamic supports, suspension cables, and complete kits.
Tips for purchasing and the project
Building a treehouse with a TheTreehouse.Shop kit requires time, specific tools, and knowledge of carpentry and structures. The investment is considerable, so it is advisable to approach the order with clear ideas.
Visit their official website: thetreehouse.shop/es
Before buying, study their technical guides thoroughly: they explain the basic principles of tree construction and help you assess whether your project is viable. If you have any doubts, contact their support team to find out which components best fit your idea and to avoid costly mistakes.
Keep in mind what the order includes: they provide the "skeleton" of the treehouse, but the wood and the rest of the construction materials must be purchased separately. Add that expense to your budget before deciding.
7. Leroy Merlin Spain – 'treehouse style' children's playhouses
Leroy Merlin sells elevated children's playhouses in a treehouse style, designed for safe scale play. It is not a booking portal: it is an online store for those who want to set up their own cabin in the garden.
This option is a good fit if you are looking to give children the experience of a house in the heights without leaving home. On the website, you can filter by price, material (mainly treated wood), brand, and dimensions.
Each product comes with a technical sheet with the exact measurements, the type of wood, the treatment required, and the warranties. Check those measurements before buying and reserve a spot in the garden with space around it for play.
Highlighted features
You don't book a stay here: you buy a little wooden house and assemble it. It is an option for handy families who want to involve their children in a construction project.
The range goes from elevated structures on stilts to play complexes with slides, climbing walls and swings. This way, you adapt the purchase to the space you have and to your budget.
If you don't want to assemble it yourself, there is an installation service through a network of associated professionals. There are also financing and home delivery options.
The purchase is made online, with shipping throughout Spain or collection in physical stores. Keep in mind that these are structures designed for children's play, not habitable accommodations.
Many models use wood with PEFC or FSC certification, which guarantees sustainable forest management.
Tips for booking and staying
Before buying a garden house, grab the tape measure: measure the base and also the safety zones around slides or swings. This way, you avoid surprises when the package arrives.
Outdoor wood requires care. Check the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations and prepare periodic treatments so that it withstands the weather.
A garden house gives you the experience of a treehouse at home and encourages children to play outdoors. That said, it does not include a night of disconnecting in nature.

Comparison of 7 treehouse options
Sleeping among branches in Spain can be sorted in seven very different ways. There are accommodations with a spa and a pulley, portals with instant booking and even kits to build your own little house. This comparison helps you choose according to what you are looking for: a getaway for couples, a house for the whole family or a construction project.
In Zeanuri (Bizkaia), Cabañas en los Árboles is located between the Gorbeia and Urkiola natural parks. The team takes care of the maintenance of the walkways and offers services such as a spa and a pulley, as well as romantic packs for couples and gifts. In Lizaso (Navarra), Basoa Suites has seven double suites built on the trees, with breakfast and dinner that are brought up to the suite via a pulley.
Cabañitas del Bosque (A Coruña) brings together nine accommodations of various typologies, with elevated cabins among oaks and sweet chestnuts, ground-level cabins, haylofts and fisherman's shelters. Their offer adapts to families, groups and getaways near the estuary and the coast.
If you want to compare options, on Airbnb the "Treehouses" category in Spain gathers a lot of variety with integrated filters and verified reviews. The quality varies depending on the accommodation. On Booking.com, "treehouse" stays offer instant booking, a clear comparison of prices and ratings, 24/7 support and Genius promotions.
It is aimed at construction, commercial or serious DIY projects.
Before booking, check the season, the type of access to the cabin and whether the accommodation includes services such as heating or a jacuzzi. For couples, check the romantic packs; with children, confirm that the structure is safe and suitable for them.
Prepare your perfect getaway: Final tips and how to plan your adventure
Choosing the cabin is the first step; the rest depends on how you organise the trip. To search for accommodation in Spain, platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com allow you to filter by area, dates and type of cabin in a few minutes.
If you like the idea of having one in your own garden, TheTreehouse.Shop and Leroy Merlin can give you ideas and materials to build it.
The success of the getaway does not depend only on choosing the accommodation: it is worth personalising the experience so that it is exactly what you are looking for. Check what the cabin includes, how long it takes to get there and what plans are available nearby before booking.
Keys to master choice and planning
Before filtering by price or location, define what experience you are looking for. Not all treehouses are the same, and the ideal one for a couple may not suit a family with small children.
If you are travelling as a family, prioritise safety, accessibility and capacity. The Zeanuri Treehouses, with cabins for 2 to 5 people, are a good starting point. For a romantic retreat, look at privacy, atmosphere and extras such as breakfast baskets that are lifted up to the suite via a pulley, as in Basoa Suites. If what you want is disconnection and nature, choose isolated accommodation with direct access to hiking routes and a commitment to sustainability.
If it is your first time, an option with more amenities and easy access is the best way to start this type of tourism. Make a short list with three things you are looking for (for example: private jacuzzi, car-free access to hiking routes and breakfast included) to filter quickly on platforms like Booking.com.
Book in advance: the most popular cabins are booked months in advance, especially weekends and high season (summer, bank holidays). If you have fixed dates, plan with a minimum of 3 to 6 months.
For luggage, bring backpacks instead of hard suitcases, comfortable footwear for moving around the complex and a headtorch for night walks. Check the access before booking: if you have to walk along a path or climb many stairs, it is key if you are travelling with people with reduced mobility, small children or lots of luggage.
From a stay to an unforgettable memory
Sleeping among the branches is only the beginning: the stay is completed when you go out into the surroundings and connect with the local culture. A treehouse gives you the roof; what you remember afterwards are the hours spent outside it.
You can add to your stay a cheese tasting at a nearby farm, a guided route for birdwatching native birds or a pottery workshop with a local artisan. These experiences support the small businesses and producers that are the soul of these rural areas.
When planning your itinerary, go beyond the cabin and look for what is around. At Picuco you will find local activities and experiences near your accommodation, from guided hiking routes to craft workshops and gastronomic tastings.
Visit Picuco and start designing memories.
