Hotel Circus.
By Ben Harris.
“Different strokes for different folks”, I was not sure what to expect from our stay at this unique woodland camp, and as we headed back to normality the following morning, the night before seemed so surreal that we were still not quite sure it had actually happened
An eccentric cross between Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and children’s classics, Time Circus’s AirHotel offers a theatrical experience like no other.
From the moment of our arriving, we became an integral part of the AirHotel team’s fantasy land, as the dreamy characters took us on a meandering wander around their strange surroundings and welcomed us into their magical world.
Our home for the night was El Ambassador, a slick-looking two-person cocoon that appeared to be floating in mid-air.
It was accessed via a trapdoor and, once inside, this space-age pod’s glass ceiling meant that we were able to enjoy beautiful views of the trees and the starry night sky while the wind gently rocked the pod which was suspended from trees by cables.
The whole hotel experience – from climbing into our accommodation by torchlight to joining in with a sweet dream ritual before bed to sizzling in the “Hot Madre” sauna at the wellness area – was one of the greatest, strangest things we had ever done and also a huge amount of fun.
Enchanting, enthralling, disorientating – our time was an extremely bizarre experience we will be talking about for a long time to come.
On the way back, we ordered a different couple…
Hmm, enjoy.
We feature “Global Nomads”.
