Looking to properly escape this summer? If avoiding tourists and being properly alone sounds like your kind of getaway, you should head to La Tagua. This cabin, built on stilts by the ocean, is seriously remote. Oh, and it’s really, really stylish, too. 

The Airbnb is in the seaside town of Navidad, Chile. Its vertiginous (but very sleek) exterior is reflected by the light wood and minimal furnishings inside. There’s a simplistic dining area, a chic kitchen and a linen-clad bedroom. But the real thrill is the surroundings – head out onto the balcony, and you can take in sweeping panoramas of the ocean. Expect to spot sea lions aplenty.

Unsurprisingly, the cabin has won a load of awards. The Santiago-based architects who designed La Tagua were inspired by the region’s landscape, so it’s built with pine and oak. And the name comes from a local bird species. Best of all, it’s now available on Airbnb, so if you’re looking for a retreat, you should get booking. Find out more on the official listing
