This Abandoned Plane Was Transformed into a Luxury Jungle Hotel

If you were flying up above and looked down at the 727 Fuselage Home, you might think it’s a passenger plane that crash-landed into the Costa Rican jungle many years ago.

In reality, this vintage 727 plane is not only the most unique hotel in Costa Rica, but one of the most unique hotels in the entire world. In a previous life, the 1965 Boeing 727 plane shuttled globetrotters all around the world, working for South African Airlines and then Avianca Colombia.

Its glory days should’ve come to an end after it was abandoned in San Jose, except some aviation enthusiasts decided to salvage the plane and give it new life.

After being broken into five pieces and carted out to the jungle near Manuel Antonio National Park, this vintage plane was converted into a one-of-a-kind vacation home. Here’s everything you can expect when staying in the 727 Fuselage Home.

((2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms))

The Fuselage Home is a two-bedroom, two-bath escape perfect for a group of friends or a couple looking for a little more space. Small details, like the lights made from recycled bottles of alcohol and hand-carved teak furniture, add a touch of something special.

((The Kitchen)

The center of the plane features a large kitchen with everything you’d need to cook meals during your stay. There’s a full-sized fridge and freezer, stove, toaster oven, microwave, and coffee pot.

(The Balconies))

Walk outside either one of the doors in the kitchen, and you’ll be led onto the home’s incredible balconies.

The best part of the balconies is the jaw-dropping views of Manuel Antonio National Park, which is only a short drive away from the home. From the balcony, you can see monkeys swinging through the dense jungle, the rugged coastline, and waves crashing in the sapphire-blue Pacific Ocean.

The Living Room

Past the kitchen is the living room, featuring comfy chairs and a TV. The best feature of this room is the main door to the plane, which was converted into a floor-to-ceiling window with a view of the ocean and national park.

It’s the perfect place to cozy up under the dim light of gin bottle lamps during a tropical rainstorm and watch the rain fall in the jungle outside.
