Glamping hotel: a combination of a hotel and camping

A comfortable bed, your own bathroom and every comfort within easy reach. But also waking up to the sounds of nature, having breakfast outdoors in the morning and sitting outside your tent long into the evening. Sounds good? Then a glamping hotel might be just the thing for you.

A glamping hotel is actually a cross between a hotel and camping. You stay in luxury accommodation for two people that functions as an open-air hotel room. Ideal for couples who want to experience the freedom of camping without compromising on comfort.

What is a glamping hotel?

At a glamping hotel, you don’t stay in a traditional hotel building, but in your own luxury lodge or tent. Inside, you’ll find all the comforts you’d expect from a lovely hotel room: a comfortable bed, an en-suite bathroom and everything you need for a relaxing stay.

You’ll notice the big difference as soon as you step outside. No hotel corridor or lift to take you down – you step straight out into the fresh air. You’re surrounded by nature or at a beautiful glamping destination, and you have your own space to enjoy the outdoors. So it’s the convenience of a hotel combined with the sense of freedom that comes with camping.

Always been a hotel guest? Why not give glamping a go?

Perhaps camping doesn’t immediately appeal to you. Sleeping on an air mattress, walking to the toilet block with your toiletries bag under your arm, and waking up early in the morning in a damp tent? Fortunately, none of that is necessary with glamping.

A glamping hotel for two makes the transition from a hotel to camping a lot easier. You don’t need to bring any camping gear and you’ll have your own bathroom and a comfortable bed.

What you get in return is a completely different holiday experience. You spend much more time outdoors, have plenty of space around you and get to experience the surroundings from the moment you wake up. And that’s exactly what makes glamping so much fun.

Are you a camper? Then this will feel like a real upgrade

Are you used to heading out with a tent, caravan or motorhome? Then you probably don’t need any more convincing about the joys of the great outdoors. But sometimes it’s nice to have a bit more comfort.

No need to pitch the tent as soon as you arrive, no air mattresses and no trips to the toilet block at night. Your holiday begins the moment you arrive. Put your suitcase down, take off your shoes and enjoy.

With a glamping hotel, you get to keep everything that makes camping so great – being outdoors, the freedom and the relaxed atmosphere – whilst adding the comfort of luxury accommodation.

Glamping for two

Many glamping accommodations are designed for families and can accommodate four, five or six people. But if you’re travelling as a couple, you often don’t need all that space at all.

A glamping hotel, on the other hand, is specifically designed for two. This makes the accommodation cosy and comfortable, and you don’t end up paying for bedrooms and space you won’t use anyway.

Perfect for a holiday together, but also for a few days away. A short break, good food, exploring the surroundings and enjoying the countryside.

Hotel or campsite? You no longer have to choose

Perhaps that’s the best thing about a glamping hotel: you don’t have to choose between two ways of holidaying.

You get the cosy bed and en-suite bathroom of a hotel, but also your own outdoor space and the freedom of a campsite. During the day, you can head out and explore, and when you return, you don’t have to go straight inside. Pour yourself a drink, find a cosy spot outside and enjoy the evening for a little while longer.
