Has a summer of restricted travel got you dreaming about where to go when it's feasible to explore the world again? If you're anything like the majority of Airbnb users, holidays in natural surroundings will be at the top of your wishlist.
The accommodation-sharing platform has noted a number of emerging travel trends in 2020. Nature, rural cabins and yurts are some of the most popular search terms on the site and there's a growing appetite for secluded staycations.
What is a yurt?
Enter the yurt – a round structure that merges aspects of the tent, teepee, hut and house. Traditionally used as a portable dwelling by nomadic cultures in central Asia, the yurt has become a growing accommodation trend around the world, particularly in the glamping industry.
And with travellers craving the outdoors after being stuck inside for months, as well as an increased desire for isolation in the age of social distancing, Airbnb searches for yurt stays are on the up.
The above gallery features the yurts that were added to the most wishlists in June.
The top 10 yurts span the world, with a heavy concentration in the US, as well as some in Spain, the Czech Republic and France.
Topping the list is a yurt in a mountaintop retreat in the US. Surrounded by forest, at the top of Lookout Mountain in Georgia, the two-person accommodation guarantees amazing views over the Chattanooga Valley and is the perfect spot for stargazing.
