Abstract: A unitary gravitational action up to third order of curvature in which respects to the holographic $a-$theorem has been constructed in cite{myers}. In particular, its third order term is just the Weyl-cubed term in four dimensions. In this paper, we study this theory and find some its exact classical solutions. We show that the theory admits conformally flat, Lifshitz, Schr"{o}dinger and also hyperscaling-violating backgrounds as the solutions of equations of motion. Our analysis has been done for the pure Weyl-cubed gravity, Einstein plus Weyl-cubed term and gravity with matter.
