9. Hotel Les Cols, Olot, Girona
Les Cols is far from a normal hotel. Many consider a night in this hotel as a unique experience. It's all about relaxation and clearing your mind in the middle of the nature. There is not much furniture inside the room, only a bed and that's basically it. In this case luxury means less instead of more. The room is made out of glass, which helps in the whole 'becoming zen' process. Once you have completely cleared your mind, then check out the bathroom. It is a real gem! It has a waterfall shower on stones and a Japanese style bathtub. As if that wouldn't be enough, there is also some really good food to taste at the 2 Michelin star restaurant. If you are looking for a minimalistic, spiritual and relaxing space to stay & clear your mind ... then stop looking, because this is the place to be. Be prepared for something very unique! http://www.lescolspavellons.com/8. Hotel Consolación, Monroyo, Teruel
Are you in Barcelona right now? then try out this peaceful hotel Consolacion nearly 3 hours drive from Barcelona. It is perfect to escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city and enjoy the silence in Monroyo, the province of Teruel (Aragon). This hotel consists of "Kubes" that are separate from the main building. There are also hotel rooms in the main building (a beautiful 18th century chapel), but we're gonna talk about the Kubes because they are really unique! The Kubes are very charming rooms with a modern interior design and wooden walls on the outside. All Kubes have their own fireplace, which makes this hotel also perfect for romantic getaways with your lover. The real feature is the floor to ceiling window which allows you to enjoy the stunning scenery.. or you could just enjoy it from your private balcony while sitting in the lazy leather chair. But before you enjoy the outdoors, first discover the beautiful features of the bathroom, which has an in-floor bath with beautiful dark slate, giving a luxurious feeling. Need some more refreshment? No problemo, Hotel Consolacion has an outdoor swimming pool overlooking the entire landscape. http://www.consolacion.com.es/
7. St. Katharine B&B Boat, Barcelona
This little gem is very special and is located in Barcelona... on the water! Yes we are talking about a boat, called St. Katharine. It's possible to rent a room, but if you want to go big you can even rent the whole boat. Now what is on the boat exactly? There are different rooms designed in 'marine style', a jacuzzi on the aft deck and some really nice food. The boat has historical stories that the owners can tell you all about. This place is not just a place to sleep, you actually feel like staying there all day, especially when the weather is nice. Even for dinner you don't necessarily have to go out. The owners serve fantastic paella, you should definitely try and taste this typical Spanish dish. Furthermore you will have your own fridge filled with soft and alcoholic drinks. The boat is staffed 24/7 so you can enjoy Barcelona until the late hours. Try out this unique experience in the harbor of Barcelona! http://www.bed-and-breakfast-barcelona.com/6. Mil Estrelles, Borgonyà, Girona
This hotel is literally called 1000 stars, because that's what you see when you stay at hotel Mil Estrelles in Borgonyá close to Girona. The main building is an old farm house which has a dining room, lounge, offices, a massage room and a flotarium. All the ingredients are there for optimal relaxation. During the night you will sleep in a bubble, a bubble?.. yes a bubble! To be more precise, a transparant bubble in which you can enjoy the night-sky as you lay on a comfortable bed, while you are playing some background music from the speakers in the bubble. When you look at the starts, don't forget to look at the beautiful surrounding area and views of the mountain. When all the stars are gone and the morning has come you can have a nice breakfast buffet. This hotel has everything you need for a special (romantic) night out. Go check out this idyllic location in the photo's beneath: http://www.milestrelles.com/5. Alojamiento Vagon Rural, Murcia
From one unique place to another. This is also unique in its own way, we are talking about old train wagons on the outskirts of Murcia. The wagons date from the 50s. They still look like train wagons and are very comfortable. In this place you feel the relaxed vibe of South East Spain. There is a lot of natural light inside the wagons. The wagons are simply designed but very comfortable and have some old features in the interior that remind you of staying in an old train wagon. The exteriors of the wagons stand out in particular, they are coloured in outstanding colors. Looking for a nostalgic but comfortable stay close to Murcia? Then try one of the wagons of Alojamiento Vagon Rural. http://www.vagonrural.es/vagonrural.html4. Domed Cave House, Tivenys
This Catalonian place looks and feels perfect. The beautiful design, surroundings and the silence.. these are the main words that popped up in our mind when looking at this "Domed Cave House". When staying in this cave house, you literally hear the sound of your own thoughts while you feel the soft breeze on your skin as you stand under the beautiful olive tree. This house comes with an BBQ area where you can enjoy delicious Catalonian food with your friends or loved one. The owners of this house really though about all things, including the interior design.

Now this place in Andalucia is certainly very different from all the standard hotels you have ever visited and it's also very American! It's an air stream (a Christopher Deem Limited Edition). This air stream is placed in the middle of Sierra de las Nieves, a beautiful mountain range in the South of Spain. So if you look for an adventurous stay then you should really try this out. Although it feels like camping, this place offers the same luxury you have in a hotel room. You can say that staying in this air stream is glamping: glamorous camping. The interior is very modern. It's a perfect place for couples, it provides the ideal setting for a romantic getaway. You don't have to worry about cooking dinner either, because it has a fully equipped kitchen.

A hotel called "Cabañas en los Arboles" offers rooms in the form of treehouses. They are hidden in the beautiful nature of Basque country (Euskadi in Basque language).

There are 4 treehouses called Cabaña Elaia, Cabaña Txantxangorria, Cabaña Hontza and Cabaña Suite Oooh!.
