For the past 95 days, you have been choosing your favourite sites close to Nature in the Place of the Year 2024 poll. The competition was fierce until the very last moment, but there can only be one winner in each category. In total, you have cast more than 10,000 votes, for which both we and the hosts would like to thank you.
And now, to keep things short, we present the winning and commended venues in AlohaCamp's 2024 Venue of the Year poll and... we'll see you next year. 👋
Venue of the Year 2024 in the category for two
🥇 Winner - Laba
The idea for the Laba came from the desire to create a space that is easily accessible but far enough away to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Hidden in the terrace is a bathtub designed for forest bathing enthusiasts, which we would like to test ourselves. We have made sure that nothing is missing here.
🥈 Distinction - Half Half
🥉 Distinction - JuRajskie Siedlisko
Site of the Year 2024 in the category In the forest
🥇 Winner - Domeknapolu
A cottage where nature enters through the window, birds sing and deer, elk and hares peep through the fence. Here you will find peace and quiet, a piece of sky unobstructed by city lights, a place to stroll and, if you prefer, a home office. We have everything you need for blissful peace and chill.
🥈 Distinction - Laba
