  • Lift Bali in Ubud is a hotel that consists of three ultra-modern treehouses, with room rates starting at $25 per night.
  • Each treehouse has its own unique look and sits 39 feet off the ground.
  • They all have a king-sized bed, en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning, and Wi-Fi.
  • The hotel's common area features a sauna, a small pool, an elevated yoga deck, a bar, and plenty of hammocks.
  • It's important to note that nonessential travel is discouraged in many places amid the coronavirus pandemic, including the US, where the CDC warns against it.

Lift Bali, a hotel in Ubud, has taken the concept of a treehouse to new heights.

The boutique hotel is made up of three 39-foot-tall treehouses, each with a super-modern bedroom and bathroom. The hotel is also home to a sauna, pool, bar, and yoga deck, and plans on expanding soon, according to a press release from Lift Bali.

Bali reopened its tourism establishments to domestic visitors on July 31, but it won't be open to international tourists until September 11, according to Bali Governor I Wayan Koster.

While it's not possible to visit yet, and it's important to note that nonessential travel is discouraged in many places — including the US, where the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns against it amid the coronavirus pandemic — it's a good time to get your future bucket list in order.

Representatives for the resort did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment when asked about safety precautions it's taking during this time, so it's worth reaching out ahead of time if you consider booking a future stay.

A press release from the hotel says its aim was to create rooms that are "unpretentious and reduced to a minimum." It adds that being off the ground also means more shade, a breeze, and distance from mosquitoes.
