Many travelers dream about where to stay during their next trip. Hotels have always offered convenience and comfort, and vacation rentals let you feel at home even when you’re not. For your next trip, what if you tried something completely different? For a unique experience, book a few nights in a geodesic dome. A geodesic dome is a hemispherical structure made of many connected triangles. You can stay in these interesting dome rentals, which are found around the globe, for a change. They can be made from canvas, wood, or even transparent plastic. Since geodesic domes are usually more eco-friendly than hotels or cabins, they are often found in places of stunning natural beauty that are hardly marred by civilization. Check out some of Airbnb’s best geodesic domes around the world to book for your next adventure.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 11, 2024.

23. Bohemian-style dome on the edge of a national park, Chile (from USD 68)

Perched on a cliff overlooking an estuary, this dome in Chile has gorgeous views of the national park. The dome feels warm and cozy inside, with bohemian furnishings and a heater for chilly nights. Right outside is a compost toilet, and at the host’s house nearby, you can take a real shower and use the wifi just long enough to post some pictures of your adventures. Though you could probably spend your entire stay surrounded by the flourishing flowers and fruit trees, must-see spots in Chile like Santiago, Viña del Mar, and Valparaiso are close enough for a day trip.
