Sometimes, we need a luxurious getaway to rejuvenate our tired minds and refresh ourselves. Glamping is the best way to experience the healing frequency of nature while still living in modernity and having all your needs catered to.

Gone are the stressful days when camping was a struggle, especially if you have the funds. These glamping spots we’ve rounded up are a perfect testament to that!

In the secluded canyons of Utah lies the Aman Camp Sarika, a perfect private getaway for those who need alone time in nature. It is surrounded by five national parks and the largest Native American reservation in the country.

During their stay, guests can experience and learn more about the Navajo culture, interact with wildlife, or relax in their private soaking tubs.

2. Elephant Hills, Thailand

Indulge in Thailand’s first luxury tented camp experience at Elephant Hills! Since it is located in the middle of a tropical forest teeming with wildlife and elephants, the camp is sure to provide a peaceful time.

You can feed, play, and bathe with the elephants, which makes for a highly memorable experience. There are also canoe expeditions and jungle trekking activities for those interested.

3. Greystoke Mahale, Africa

Glamping in a luxury hut by a lake doesn’t sound too bad, now does it? The area is known to have the largest population of chimpanzees, living in the vast forest surrounding the lake.

Guests can go out to the forest daily with a small group to observe the chimps in their natural habitat, playing with each other, foraging, and grooming. The hut also has a private deck with open balconies for you to relax.

4. Al Maha, A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, Dubai

When it comes to luxury, nobody does it better than Dubai. The Al Maha offers Bedouin-inspired luxury tent suites in the center of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.

The reserve is home to free-roaming herds of Arabian oryx, which were brought back from extinction through rehabilitation. Arabian gazelles and sand gazelles can also be found in the area and are always delightful to spot.

5. White Pod, Switzerland

These geometric dome pods anchored to wooden platforms are high in the Alpine mountains within the Swiss village of Les Cerniers. They are insulated from the blistering cold of the outside world, and guests have access to a seven-kilometer private ski area.

You can go dog-sledding, cross-country skiing, hiking, and snowshoeing. Either that or visit their Japanese bathhouse and Finnish sauna to sweat out some toxins.

6. Nayara Tented Camp, Costa Rica

If you prefer super spacious accommodations with your own hot spring-fed pools, bathrooms with deep soaking tubs, and a personal butler, give Nayara Tented Camp a go. They even offer multi-bedroom tents for families and larger groups.

This camp is in the same area as the Nayara Gardens and Nayara Springs, which are open to all guests. Activities include a sloth experience, bird watching, frog spotting, a visit to the farmer’s market, and more.

7. Three Camel Lodge, Mongolia

For something more traditional, you could try glamping in ger tents at the Three Camel Lodge in Mongolia. Each tent comes with camel hair blankets, wool carpets, and bathrooms made of local stone.

Here, you can go on a safari to the Khongoryn Els Sand Dunes, where the sands hum beneath your feet, and onwards to visit ancient petroglyphs. Furthermore, guests can dine on cliffs where dinosaur fossils have been found and bask in history.

8. Capella Ubud, Indonesia

Capella Ubud is an eco-friendly and conscientiously developed hotel on the small island of Bali, which now faces the threat of overcrowding and over-tourism.

No trees were harmed in its making, and private pools are made of natural stone. Bali artisans were hired to paint and carve artwork throughout the hotel. The hotel sits in the forest by a quiet river near a rice-farming village, so you can have peace and quiet.

9. Aman-i-Khas, India

What once was the hunting grounds of the Maharajah of Jaipur is now made into the Ranthambore National Park, where the luxury glamping spot of Aman-i-Khas is now located.

Tents inspired by traveling Moghul camps are pitched and furnished with opulent furniture fit for royalty. Guests can join in on camel safaris or visit the old city in Ranthambore Fort, where busy crowds of merchants will tout their wares.

10. Rosewood Luang Prabang, Laos

There are 23 accommodation types available at the Rosewood Luang Prabang, all wonderfully decorated and designed with Colonial French or Laotian styles. Plus, the area is located in a forest bordered by waterfalls and rivers.

For the glamping connoisseur, you’ll want to book the luxury hilltop tents, each decorated in dedication to a different Laotian hill tribe’s colors and patterns.

11. Longitude 131, Australia

We offer Longitude 131 in Australia, a perfect spot for stargazers and those who want to spend their nights blanketed with stars over their heads.

It is located in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which is untouched by urban development and provides an unobstructed view of the sky. Guests can visit the area’s monolithic Uluru, the Kata Tjuta rock formations, and the Outback’s Red Centre.

12. Shinta Mani Wild, Cambodia

The same person who designed Capella Ubud designed Shinta Mani Wild after purchasing the land during a logging auction. Designer Bill Bensley created 15 individually designed tents without cutting down any trees in the area.

This glamping spot is near a vital elephant migration trail where bears, macaques, Indochinese tigers, gibbons, and hornbills call home. As such, there are plenty of wildlife activities to partake in.

13. Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort, Mexico

Try this adults-only resort in Mexico if you want time away from your children. It is surrounded by a jungle located on a hill above a beach. There are 15 tented rooms divided into Grand Tents and Regular Tents.

The Grand Tents have a firepit lounge and a deck with a plunge pool, so it’s worth the extra splurge. Spend your days breathing in the fresh air or sunbathing on your private deck.

14. The Resort at Paws Up, USA

With around 37,000 acres of rocky slopes, green meadows, and ponderosa trees, the Resort at Paws Up offers luxury tents and ranch living for all to enjoy. The tents are usually only available during the warmer months from mid-May to mid-October, so you need to be quick to secure a spot.

The area is picturesque, with the Blackfoot River and Elk Creek nearby, where you can try fly fishing or go for private horseback rides.

15. La Cocoteraie, Indonesia

If you want an idyllic beach glamping spot in Indonesia other than Bali, La Cocoteraie in Gili Trawangan Island is an excellent option. It is a boutique beach resort with eight safari tents pitched on what used to be an old coconut plantation.

Everything is locally made, and since it is 5 minutes away from the beach, guests can go snorkeling or join a cruise. There’s also a private pool for those who want to spend their days lazing around.
