You can watch wild animals through the glass floor of this suspended villa at a Swedish nature reserve

  • Eriksberg Hotel and Nature Reserve’s Illusion Villa is perched three meters above the ground, offering the chance to fully immerse yourself in nature.
  • Situated in Blekinge in south-east Sweden, the mirrored villa features a glass floor, giving you the opportunity to observe grazing animals at a feeding spot below.
  • You can also enjoy spectacular views of the Baltic sea shore from the private terrace.
  • Room prices start from £360 ($460) per night for two guests, and the hotel also offers additional guided tours of the grounds and safari park.

Sweden is well known for its breathtakingly beautiful scenery. With 97% of the country uninhabited, there's plenty of nature to explore, and the Nordic region's vast and varying landscapes are home to around 50,000 species of plants and animals.

The perfect way to experience Sweden's wildlife up close and personal? The Eriksberg Hotel's SynVillan (or "Illusion") Villa.

Following the popularity of other glass and see-through design features at hotels around the world, such as Iceland's Buubble Hotel and Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort's Jungle Bubbles, the glass-floored villa is the most recent addition to the Eriksberg Hotel and Nature Reserve — the largest game reserve in the Nordic region of Sweden.

This impeccably designed structure sits on stilts three meters above the ground. Its shiny metallic mirror-like exterior makes the house blend in with its surroundings, meaning there's ample opportunity to spot wildlife.

Whether you're gazing through the glass floor (which is situated above a feeding spot) or admiring the views from the villa's terrace, this experience is one-of-a-kind.

Here's what it's like to spend the night:
