There are hammocks and there are ‘hammocks’, the latter being significantly more comfortable than the former. Take a look at five of possibly the most luxurious hammocks in existence.

The Royal Botania Surf Lounger

With its almost cryptic shape comprising of a metal frame and canvas canopy and seat, the Royal Botania Surf Lounger looks more like an ingenious sculpture than a hammock. With a name like the Royal Botania Surf Lounger we would have to agree that this luxury hammock is definitely fit for royalty.

The Palacio Large Luxury Hammock

By using the finest hardwood from Brazil for the supporting bars, 450g/m2 of extremely strong cotton material woven using the complex Jacquard technique and finished by hand with macramé, this fine and elegant looking hammock certainly looks like the height of luxury. And when one softly sinks into its fine material, it is confirmed that the Palacio Large Luxury Hammock, really does live up to its name.

The WAVE

Designed by Swedish design duo Erik Nyberg and Gustav Strom, the WAVE is quite simply an exclusive innovation in outdoor leisure furniture. Being made out of perforated fabric and electro-polished stainless steel, the WAVE forms both a luxurious hammock and an interesting and almost futuristic-looking sculpture. By using semi-transparent fabric, the $25,000 WAVE blocks out 86% of the sun’s harmful rays, creating the feeling of lying under the shade of a tree. Its single support frame holds up to two people and will withstand all weather conditions. So innovative in its design that the WAVE was acknowledged with two prestigious design awards in Paris. 

Rio Jacquard Luxury Family Hammock

Having a lying surface of 250 x 160 cm and a load capacity of 200 kg, the Rio Jacquard Luxury Family Hammock really can accommodate the whole family in the most luxurious of ways possible. This beautiful hammock is finished by hand with macramé and, to give it even greater elegance, has an especially beautiful decorative hem attached, called a Veranda – an essential feature of luxury hammocks in Brazil.

Mlabri Hammock

Being a country which excels in exploiting the comfort and relaxation technique that the humble hammock provides, it is only right that a hammock from Thailand should feature in a most luxurious hammock feature. Made by Jumbohammock – luxury hammocks of Thailand, the Mlabri Hammock is hand-woven with thick, coarse string, which stretches and adapts to every individual body, providing maximum comfort. The Mlabri Hammock will stretch out to a luxurious width that can accommodate the tallest of relaxation-seekers.
