Summer getaways don't have to mean camping or beachfront rentals. For adventurers craving unique experiences, Airbnb delivers standout options like the quirky "bathotel" fisherman's hut in Wales—or this bold choice: Phoenix House, just 6.5 km from Kilauea on Hawaii's Big Island. This volcano, one of the world's most active, has erupted 66 times since 1983. Despite the dramatic backdrop, the home's serene charm captivates even cautious travelers.
Homeowner Jade describes Phoenix House as "a small minimalist house partly made of lava." Spanning 40 square meters, it suits solo travelers with a kitchenette, elevated bedroom, living area, and bathroom—plus high-speed Wi-Fi for sharing your adventure. Expansive windows frame stunning vistas: one side reveals the volcano and black lava fields, the other the vast Pacific Ocean. Jade positions it as an ideal retreat for meditation or spiritual renewal, and she offers guided tours to black-sand beaches and waterfalls, along with yoga sessions. Book Phoenix House on Airbnb starting at €102 per night.
