Any daredevils or thrill-seekers who are on the hunt for their next vacation destination need look no further than a new Airbnb in Chile, which is perched on the side of a cliff overlooking the ocean – offering spectacular views and one heck of an adrenaline rush. 

The unique property, which was built in 2018, is located in the stunning Lagunillas area of Valparaíso, in the coastal village of Matanzas, and offers incredible sea views as well as total privacy and peace.

Designed by architecture firm Croxatto and Opazo Arquitectos, the home sits atop a steep cliff overlooking the local beaches – and features enormous windows that were designed to make residents feel as though they are ‘floating on the sea’. 

The cabin has no WiFi or TV, meaning that it provides residents with the perfect seascape from reality – and, what’s more, it is available to rent for just $103 a night, a bargain when compared to most oceanfront hotels.

The building is sited approximately 80 meters above sea level and includes carefully framed large expanses of glass to reach the best seascape views – and if they’re lucky, guests may even get the chance to see sea lions from the cabin who frequent Chile’s Pacific coastline. 

‘We were looking for a way to both dominate the steep slope, and blend in with the surrounding nature,’ said the architects, who won the 2021 Wallpaper Design award for their creation of the tranquil cabin. 

Built from recycled oak that has been treated and dried for durability, the retreat includes reclaimed interior pine boards and solar-powered outdoor lighting to reduce energy consumption.

Architects Felipe Croxatto Viviani and Nicolás Opazo Marchetti strategically positioned the cabin to the north to provide shelter against strong winds. 

The stilt house is only accessible by three stories of stairs, leading down the beach dunes. 

The interior of the cabin incorporates touches of pale wood to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere to guests. 

Internally, the retreat is comprised of two floors that are connected by a ladder that leads to the second floor.

On the ground floor, guests can find a spacious, open kitchen allowing them to enjoy their meal while staring out at the waves. 

There is also a separate small chill-out area, as well as a luxury bathroom, which comes with all the usual amenities including a shower with a sea view.

Upstairs, you’ll find the bedroom with a large bed fit for two, which is reached by a wooden ladder and a fairly large balcony.

There is also a big decking area and the beach is but a jump, skip and a hop away.

The owner also advises that guests drive a cross-country vehicle, since the road isn’t in an amazing condition and when raining, this type of vehicle is required.

The retreat has received rave reviews on Airbnb, one guest said: ‘One of the best views I’ve ever had in my life.’

While another added that the cabin was ‘an absolute dream.’ 

The luxury Airbnb can be booked at $103 per night depending on dates.
