This Unique Volcano Rental Sits Near Hawai‘i Volcanoes Park

There is a reason people travel all over the world to Hawaii — it’s truly a slice of paradise. While there are botanical gardens, waterfalls, and hiking trails that amaze and inspire on the islands, Volcanoes National Park showcases Hawaii’s fiery side. It is a place that feels otherworldly with its unique and fascinating scenery. This is a national park where you can have countless adventures and stay for multiple days. So, it is only fitting that you find the perfect base camp for this unique getaway, and fortunately, I’ve found just the place.

How would you like to explore a volcano during the day and sleep in a volcano at night? This unique Earthen Home Airbnb near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is the type of place you’d likely only find in your dreams. Shaped and decorated as a volcano, this vacation rental will amaze and inspire as soon as you arrive.

This isn’t a large Hawaiian Airbnb, but it’s perfect for a couple’s getaway or a solo adventure. Inside, you’ll find one bedroom and one bathroom. However, these aren’t your typical rooms. This rental features two volcano-shaped domes. One dome is the bedroom, where you’ll feel like you are surrounded by flowing lava with its unique decorations and design.

The other dome is the bathroom, which features a more calming environment. Here, you’ll find subtle, peaceful colors, a custom-made limestone bathtub, and a circular window that opens to let in the fresh Hawaiian air.

We particularly love the small touches throughout this Airbnb near Volcanoes National Park. For example, each dome has large skylights that let in natural light. The home also features cindercrete walls that are 16 inches thick, keeping the house cool no matter the time of day.

Almost everything in this home is custom-made, creating a truly unique getaway destination. However, be aware that this Hawaiian vacation rental is off-grid, meaning some services are limited. You can also expect to be lulled to sleep by the sounds of wildlife outside your door, and you may just spot a few insects during your stay — you are in a tropical paradise after all.
