We've compiled a list of Belgium's most unusual and atypical accommodations below.
Would you like to combine the comfort of a 4* hotel with the surprise of your room? The River Lodge, near Maredsous, offers 10 thematically decorated rooms that will take you on a journey: sleep in a wooden chalet in the mountains, in a wild desert, in a polar world or in the depths of the ocean. Several extras are also available. We recommend the Romance Pack (to be booked 48 hours in advance): on arrival, a large bottle of champagne with rose petals awaits you, as well as a small treat! Near Mons, the Pairi Daiza Resort offers you a series of unique and unusual accommodations that have in common the proximity of the animals of the animal park. This immersion in the heart of the wild animals allows you to observe them up close without disturbing them and remaining safe thanks to the huge picture windows.
We suggest Cœur de Roulotte near Durbuy: this charming gypsy caravan welcomes you for a relaxing weekend in the heart of nature. This atypical accommodation features a bedroom with a 160 cm bed and high-quality bedding, a small sitting area with a comfortable sofa, a dining area, a bathroom with shower and a fully-equipped kitchen. Near Neufchâteau, the Hébergements Divins offer you a Dôme and a Sphair in the heart of nature. These atypical accommodations invite you to sleep with your head in the stars, while enjoying a host of extras: breakfast, evening meal, massages, bottle of champagne, etc.
You don't have to break the piggy bank to get away from it all! In Liège, La Cabine du Capitaine offers you the chance to sleep in a converted barge on the banks of the Meuse. Today, this atypical accommodation has all the comforts you need: king-size bed with wall-mounted TV, living room, fully-equipped kitchen, minibar and bathroom with shower. From €80 per night. Near Brussels, Cowcooning offers 2 glamping tents on a hill, overlooking a field where you can see a magnificent country landscape. The tents are made from sustainable cotton and each measures 20 m².

We love the Cabane sur l'Eau near Chimay! This super-charming little cabin is located on the shores of a lake, out of sight of the public, and even has its own rowboat. Formerly a boat garage, the 30m² cabin has been completely renovated and fitted out, and includes a kitchenette, a dining room, a bathroom with shower and a large double bed with a breathtaking view over the lake thanks to the large bay window. Near Dinant, Cabane Ofuro is another address that Let's Go My Love particularly appreciates.

Leave without knowing where, but close to home! Set up in a secret location in the heart of nature, your individual cottage is just waiting for you. You'll enjoy simple but real comforts: queen-size bed, fully-equipped kitchen, wood-fired barbecue, eco-friendly toilet and shower. Alone in the middle of nature, you'll enjoy this rejuvenating getaway to breathe and find yourself in complete privacy.

Sleeping in an atypical accommodation in Belgium, especially for lovers, is the promise to spend an exotic and offbeat stay.
These atypical places are often a little cheaper than a night in a hotel and are well suited to younger people. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to go there at the last minute.
These extraordinary places have all been selected by Let's Go My Love, the first collection of Belgium's most romantic places and accommodations.
Some of our atypical partner accommodations offer benefits and a welcome gift. Just mention Let's Go My Love when booking.
