Los Angeles is an experience like none other on Earth. Nowhere else can you find as many glamorous celebrity residents flaunting their wealth and status in upmarket shopping malls. Nowhere else can you find a city so sprawling that workers have to wake up at 4 a.m. in order to beat the traffic and get to their downtown offices on time. And, nowhere else can you find such a diverse mix of ethnicities and ideologies co-existing in one massive metropolitan area.

While you can certainly stay in one of LA’s many glitzy famous hotels and vacation rentals, why not try something truly unique? Make your LA experience something far more special than most travelers get when visiting this unforgettable city. Check out our list of the best yurts in Los Angeles.

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 March 11, 2024.

1. Vessel and Soul Health Retreat (from USD 350)

Besides Topanga State Park, the Topanga neighborhood has many other smaller parks and recreational areas, making it a great location for a weekend health retreat, such as this yurt for rent in Los Angeles, situated along the road towards the Red Rock Canyon Park. You will be given health and lifestyle coaching from the hosts, as well as cleansing food and drink, including teas, green juice, broth and smoothies, each day and guided body/mind/spirit exercises. To get even closer to nature, take a hike in the park, which has scenic canyons and gorges.

2. Mt. Washington yurt (from 80 USD)

North of downtown Los Angeles is where you will find pockets of Asian ethnic enclaves that form neighborhoods with a unique flavor. Their names are instant giveaways: Koreatown, Little Tokyo, Historic Filipinotown and, of course, Chinatown. All are vibrant precincts, serving largely immigrant families and therefore full of restaurants and shopping malls selling food, as well as goods, from those countries.

These diverse neighborhoods are well worth a visit, such as this eco-friendly yurt lodging in Mount Washington, a historic district near the Dodger Stadium. Although it is nestled among the steep hills of the neighborhood, it is still just a five-minute walk to the metro light rail line. Inside the yurt, you will find a queen-size bed, private bathroom, hammock and desk, while you can enjoy mellow walks along the winding hillside roads, once you step outside the accommodation.

3. Glamping in Topanga (from 100 USD)

If you want an outdoor vacation without the health and wellness classes at the above-mentioned Vessel and Soul Health Retreat, the hosts are happy to rent out their yurt for a comfortable stay around Topanga and the Red Rocks Canyon Park. The accommodation includes a shared, covered deck with an infrared sauna and hammock, as well as a full kitchen and bathroom. Best of all, take a walk around the neighborhood, among the quiet dirt roads and sycamore trees, and you will feel as if you are thousands of miles away from Los Angeles.

4. The Cazador Yurt (from USD 72)

Glamping (a mix of “glamor” and “camping”) has become popular in recent years, with travelers eager to find the luxuries of hotel accommodation alongside the escapism and adventure of camping. It is hard to envisage glamping in the urban sprawl of Los Angeles, but, in truth, there are many neighborhoods that offer hilly terrain and expansive grasslands for a great outdoor holiday.

If you are yurt camping in Los Angeles, this accommodation is situated just outside downtown LA in the Glassell Park precinct and sits on a half-acre (0.2-hectare) lot, with a 1920s farmhouse, a red barn and a chicken coop. Guests can enjoy the hammocks hung around the yard and also the firepit, for campfire singalongs. There is even a Wurlitzer organ in the yurt for song accompaniment.

5. Yurt glamping tent in valley home (from 75 USD)

Another great way to escape Los Angeles’ concrete jungle is to head west to its gorgeous beaches. There are over 60 beaches in LA County, stretching from Malibu all the way down to Long Beach, so just pick the one which suits your needs: there’s surfing (Surfrider Beach), people watching (Venice Beach and Santa Monica State Beach) or even solitude (Leo Carrillo State Beach).

This yurt glamping accommodation may be situated in a dense residential neighborhood of Sherwood Forest, but it is still less than a half-hour drive to the nearest beach. And, if you haven’t had enough fun at the beaches, there is even a beach volleyball court on the premises, together with other recreational facilities, such as a swimming pool, firepit and a garden.

6. Ultimate glamping experience in Silver Lake (from 73 USD)

While Los Angeles does not have a signature food (unless you want to count In-N-Out Burger), it does have a dizzying array of cuisine, thanks to its mix of ethnicities, as well as its social diversity. Stay in any of its neighborhoods and you will be able to find eateries ranging from health-conscious, organic cafes to upmarket fine-dining to unassuming homespun food joints. One of the best places to sample such diverse fare is around Sunset Junction, where Sunset and Santa Monica Boulevards meet.

This stylish yurt accommodation is within walking distance to the Sunset Junction area and guests can have access to a converted greenhouse/hangout room with a sofa and two chairs, as well as a comfy-looking backyard.

7. Skyfarm Yurt

Los Angeles’ most famous attractions – Disneyland, Universal Studio and the Hollywood signboard – are not found in the city center. Nevertheless, downtown LA still exudes its own understated appeal, with traditional places of interest, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art, the City Hall Observation Deck and the Grand Central Market. It is hard to imagine this dense, urban area has space for a decent yurt rental, but this accommodation feels surprisingly rural, even though it is just 5 miles (8 kilometers) north of downtown.

Situated at the end of a dirt road, on top of a hill, the Skyfarm Yurt offers 50 acres (20.2 hectares) of bohemian living in a large, circular yurt with a king-size bed and two mattresses. There is a well-equipped outdoor kitchen, as well as a bathroom and you can enjoy great views of the city amid the many farm animals on the premises.

8. Yurt in Topanga (from USD 115)

Los Angeles’ massive urban sprawl can be daunting, especially with its traffic and smog problems, but thankfully there are pockets of greenery in some of the more distant neighborhoods. One of the largest is Topanga State Park, nestled in the western city limits, where there are plenty of hiking trails to lookouts that have vistas stretching all the way to the Pacific Ocean. It is a great spot to escape the urban jungle and this yurt rental in Los Angeles is right by the park, with a private patio that overlooks the Topanga Canyon. The yurt comes with a full-sized bed, a walk-in closet, a bathroom with a shower, a kitchenette and Wi-Fi, for a comfortable stay.

This valley home offers yurt accommodation in its backyard with free Wi-Fi and a outdoor swimming pool, to boot. Guests will have access to the home’s kitchen and bathroom.

10. Silver Lake Yurt

Hollywood is unmissable, whether you adore or dismiss the celebrity lifestyle. Its iconic sign, perched high on the hills, already grabs your attention from afar. Then there is Hollywood Boulevard, with its Walk of Fame stars on the sidewalk and the stunning Grauman’s Chinese Theater, practically enticing you to sample the glitz on show. Even the streets are famous, their very names like Sunset Boulevard and Mulholland Drive conjuring up glamorous images, even if you don’t bump into any celebrity on them.

This gorgeous yurt accommodation for two guests is located in the hip, adjacent neighborhood of Silver Lake and is a peaceful sanctuary with beautiful gardens in which to relax and unwind. There is no kitchen, only a mini-fridge provided, but the yurt is a short walk from the bustling Sunset Boulevard, with all its cafes and eateries.
