Dopo il Vilegtuigsuite, l'aereo-hotel in Olanda, se siete alla ricerca di un'insolita vacanza, in cui la vostra camera potrebbe essere un intero aereo affacciato su una costa incontaminata, preparate le valigie e prenotate un volo per la Costa Rica!
L’Hotel “Costa Verde”, infatti, ha dato vita a una romantica e suggestiva suite, che ha dell’incredibile: si tratta di un aereo-albergo (un vecchio Boeing 727), ricostruito interamente su un albero a 50 m di altezza; capace di offrire un rifugio rilassante e i comfort più moderni a ridosso di uno dei parchi Nazionali più belli del mondo.
Gli spazi abitativi sono arredati con pannelli in teak. Anche i mobili sfruttano gli stessi legnami, dando vita a un linguaggio omogeneo e senza strappi. Non manca, ovviamente, l’aria condizionata, indispensabile per via delle temperature. Della dotazione fanno parte la TV a schermo piatto, un angolo cottura e una zona pranzo foyer. Le tariffe partono da 300 dollari a notte .
Vi sembrerà di sentirvi quasi come i protagonisti di un romanzo di Defoe o della famosa serie televisiva "Lost", ma con tutti i lussuosissimi comfort che l'aereo-suite e l'intero Resort Costa Verde vi sapranno offrire.

After a tiring long-haul flight to a holiday destination, the last thing you would normally want to see is the inside of another aeroplane
But we think you might make an exception for this unusual new hotel suite, which has been constructed using a refurbished Boeing 727 fuselage. Head for heights: The Boeing 727 has been raised on a 15m tall (50ft) pillars with balconies built on each wing. The 1965 aircraft, which is mounted on 15m tall (50ft) pillars, has balconies on each wing that offer views of the ocean and the jungle.
Guests can even enjoy an evening on the terrace observing sloths, toucans and monkeys.
Inside the meticulously refurbished airframe are two wood-panelled bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room and living area and two bathrooms.
The owners spared no expense, with hand-carved furniture flown in from Java, Indonesia.
It costs between £200 and £250 a night to book the unusual suite on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica's Manuel Antonio National Park.
A spokesman for the Hotel Costa Verde described the accommodation as 'the most exclusive hotel suite in Costa Rica'.
'We have refurbished a vintage Boeing 727, which in its prior life shuttled globetrotters on South African Airways and Avianca Airlines of Colombia,' he said.
'The airframe was salvaged piece by piece, from its San Jose airport resting place and carefully transported on five, big-rig trucks to the jungles of Manuel Antonio where they have been resurrected into a unique jumbo hotel suite.'
He didn't say whether a crew serves you bubbly on your arrival, though...
