Toucans are some of the oddest looking birds on the planet. With their giant curved beaks and relatively small body size, you might think they will topple off the trees. Costa Rica is home to six species of toucans, including the keel-billed variety which are what most people might think of when they picture the unusual bird. With their brightly coloured bills and necks, they stand out against the rainforest landscape and are relatively easy to spot in the rainforests, even from a distance. For more on toucans and other wildlife in Costa Rica, see Matt Gannan from @tucantravel's post on A Luxury Travel Blog: Top 10 animals to spot in Costa Rica.

At the Manta Resort on the idyllic island of Pemba, just off the coast of Zanzibar, you can sleep in an underwater room in your own private stretch of sea. The glass-cased chamber is plunged four metres beneath the surface, where you can spend the night with the fishes – a truly unique experience! Above you, the landing deck has a lounge and bathroom, with another deck above that for sunbathing, in between refreshing dips in the water. Meals of fresh fish will be brought to you, so you can dine in the middle of the sea. For this and other unusual places to stay around the world, see our blog post by Thomas Ryves from @exsustravel

On the tropical island of Phuket you can find this hidden gem in the middle of the lush jungle. While the villas blend in perfectly with the nature which surrounds them, the level of luxury and comfort is very much 21st century. There are several different styles of villas, going from the tree pool houses all to way to actual bird’s nest pool villas.

See our post '5 reasons to The Three Peaks for a Winter holiday in the Dolomites'! One mountain with much to do in this unique Alpine destination, is Croda Rossa. Two cable cars reach this winterland with fun activities for children and adults.Known for it’s huge and friendly snowmen and for the small reindeer herd which visitors can help to feed. This mountain is also notorious for comprising the steepest slope in Italy! With a 72% incline, it is made up of two parts, the second steeper than the first. Here too you will find a suspenseful 5 km sledging trail which winds it’s way down the mountain through woods and fields.

A trip to Kyoto, Japan, with its 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and over 1600 temples and shrines, can feel overwhelming. A whirlwind of activity amongst a riot of glowing gold and vibrant vermillion. So much to see, so much to do, so little time. Given that this could be considered the home of Zen, however, with hundreds of Zen gardens dotted all around the city, it makes sense that it is a city best explored at a gentler place. Or you stand to lose out on all that makes Kyoto so extraordinary – like the quaint streets leading to the picturesque Yasaka Pagoda, for example. .

Head up to the Ecuadorian extreme sports town of Baños to experience its Casa del Arbol. While this somewhat ramshackle treehouse formally serves as a science station for monitoring the seismic activity of nearby Mt. Tungurahua, an active volcano, the site is most famous for the swing attached to the tree. For a couple of bucks, visitors line up to at the “Swing at the End of the World” to arc out into the air, suspended for moments above a mile-and-a-half-deep canyon – an amazing view and experience that’s not for the faint of heart. For this and other amazing adventure experiences in South America, see A Luxury Travel Blog's post 'Top 10 South American adventure experiences' by guest blogger @alfonsotandazo CEO of @surtrek
