10 unique places to stay in Vaucluse, Provence: treehouses, yurts & more

The Vaucluse in the heart of French Provence is a dream destination for travelers who love sunshine, charming hilltop villages, vineyards, and dramatic landscapes. This sun-drenched corner of Southern France is perfect if you’re looking for a memorable holiday with a touch of adventure and comfort.
Instead of booking a standard hotel room, why not choose a truly unique place to stay? Think treehouses nestled in ancient oaks, colorful caravans between the vines, safari lodges on a river island, and authentic yurts with views of Mont Ventoux. These special accommodations turn a “nice trip” into an unforgettable experience you’ll talk about for years.

Why choose unique accommodation in vaucluse?

Traditional hotel rooms often blur together in your memory, but a night in a treehouse or a yurt becomes part of your travel story. In Vaucluse you can stay in eco-friendly cabins, glamping tents, and characterful caravans that add personality to your Provence itinerary. Many of these places focus on sustainability, slow travel, and digital detox, which makes them ideal for nature lovers, couples, families, and conscious travelers.

Unique accommodation also helps you experience the region more intensely: waking up to birdsong by the Sorgue river, watching the sunset over the vineyards, or stargazing from a jacuzzi with Mont Ventoux on the horizon. It’s not just a place to sleep, but a key part of your Provence experience.

1. Sleep like a bird in l’Isle-sur-La-Sorgue

At La Sorguette in L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue you can stay in a spectacular “bird’s nest” treehouse that genuinely looks like a giant nest. Your picnic basket goes up via a rope, which feels wonderfully romantic (unless you forget the wine, of course). From this cozy hideaway you overlook the surrounding greenery as if you’ve briefly flown away from daily life.

The treehouse is just a few meters from the clear Sorgue river, perfect for an early-morning dip before your first coffee.

The campsite is a recognized bird sanctuary, so expect feathered neighbors who wake up earlier than you.

Next to the nest you’ll also find La Cabane de Pan, a Peter Pan-inspired treehouse about four meters above the ground. La Sorguette opens on 15 March, making it an ideal spring escape in Provence.

2. Eco-treehouse without nails in Bonnieux

At Maison Valvert in Bonnieux you can sleep in an elegant eco-treehouse designed according to the philosophy of Alain Laurens. That means no branches were cut and no nails were driven into the trees: the construction respects the living trees that carry you while you sleep. It’s a beautiful example of sustainable tourism in the Luberon region.

This hideaway, about four meters above the ground, is perfect if you love being in nature without harming it. The atmosphere is serene and intimate, ideal for couples who want peace, views, and that special “treehouse magic” with Provençal charm.

The atmosphere invites you to slow down, read, and simply enjoy the view.The cabins are set on or around the serene lake La Lionne and each has its own style. The showstopper is Ecohut Utopie, standing in the middle of the water and accessible only by boat. Rowing to your cabin at sunset feels almost poetic and makes every arrival a small adventure. The domain is open from 6 March to 21 November 2026, plus weekends until early January.

This waterside retreat is perfect if you want to finally finish that book waiting on your nightstand or if you simply enjoy staring at the river for hours without feeling guilty.

The season runs from 25 April to 12 September 2026, which makes it a great choice for spring and summer in Provence.

5. Candy-colored caravans in Cairanne

Between the vineyards of Cairanne you’ll find the playful caravans of Les Roulottes d’Yguaris in bright, candy-like colors. The backdrop is the rugged Dentelles de Montmirail, which makes the scene effortlessly photogenic. It’s glamping with a joyful twist and loads of character.

Families will especially love the mini-caravans for children, which are connected to the parents’ caravan via baby monitor. Kids can play “gypsy” in their own wagon while you enjoy a glass of Côtes du Rhône on your terrace. It’s a charming, relaxed base for exploring the local wine villages.

6. Safari lodges on Avignon’s green island

On Île de la Barthelasse, a vast green island in the Rhône facing Avignon, you’ll find Lodges & Nature – Camping Les 2 Rhône. Here, stylish safari tents of about 20–27 m² are set on a 700-hectare island between two branches of the river. It feels a bit like Africa, yet you’re only a bike ride away from the historic center of Avignon and the Palais des Papes.
This is an ideal base if you want to explore the Luberon, the Alpilles, and Mont Ventoux but still sleep surrounded by nature at night. After a day full of culture, markets, and hilltop villages, your lodge tent is a quiet haven under the Provençal sky.

Prices start at around €198 per night for two people including breakfast and jacuzzi (midweek outside school holidays).

9. Chic boho wagon in Ménerbes

At Bastide de Marie in Ménerbes, glamping comes with a generous dose of boho chic. The grass-green gypsy caravan feels like a small jewel box: think soft almond-green armchairs, polished wooden floors, and bold turquoise-orange accents. The atmosphere is romantic, playful, and unmistakably high-end.

You stay in the middle of a 23-hectare vineyard, so the evening aperitif is never far away. It’s a fantastic spot for wine lovers who like style, privacy, and the feeling of being wrapped in Provençal luxury.
