Glamping Getaways | The Worlds Most Luxurious Locations 2021

August 23, 2021 Share

It’s clear that there is a vast monumental event taking place right before our eyes and if every little thing that happens affects our future in one way or the other, the same goes for this. Only this time, the change is more prominent. 

Faced with an array of ever-changing possibilities and travel restrictions, people are now choosing to stay closer to nature for their holidays. The rise in more localised travel is a positive outlook for the environment.

For example, things like camping, trekking, swimming and outdoor adventure lifestyles will be more valued as a safe, seamless and authentic experience. 

Along with road trips, country escapes and villa holidays are other booming trends that are at the forefront of the evolving industry. Free movement around countryside towns with big open spaces and a reduced number of people are drawing in travellers and families. 

Villa holidays, on the other hand, offer both space and seclusion, and rentals have rocketed in popularity this year. A home-from-home or self-catering unit suggests more people are moving away from the hotel industry into places where they can stay for prolonged periods, at their own risk. 

Families wishing to break away from the four walls of their home are craving wide-open spaces and are longing for something different. Camping or ‘glamping’ holidays are now increasing in interest for people looking to immerse themselves in the wild. People are even looking into conservation holidays as an option.

‘Glamping’, commonly known as glamorous camping, is the prodigy of luxury and experimental travel. It’s all about stepping off the beaten path and stepping out of your comfort zone or back into it. Camping gives people a chance to deeply connect with the world, and glamping allows you to walk where others have not. From cubes to pods, huts and cottages, tents and teepees to villas and treehouses, luxurious camping has the ability to coexist with any structure, leaving an everlasting impression. 

Experiencing a holiday where you are surrounded by the sight and sounds of mother nature puts your mind and well-being first. 

Being able to stay in a quality accommodation is what experiencing luxury in nature is all about. Most of the structures are solid and very well insulated.

If you are unsure whether to stay in a hotel or pitch a tent for a break, glamping is a great middle option to go for to embrace nature whilst still feeling safe and comfortable.

Here are some of the top luxurious glamping destinations in the world:
