Luxury camping, also known as glamping, is a combination of the words “glamour” and “camping”. This type of accommodation is successful abroad and is also gaining ground in Brazil.
Imagine being able to feel the tranquility of sleeping in a tent or tree house in the middle of nowhere, listening to the noises of wild animals, the breeze, the rain and reclaiming this energy with nature. All this with the advantage of having a bathroom with hot water, clean towels and a bed with soft sheets waiting for you.
What is luxury camping?
That camping trip where we had to take tents to set up, small sleeping bags, lots of repellent to avoid being attacked by insects and also having to share the bathroom with strangers is definitely in the past!
Nowadays, camps are much more sophisticated. Known as a luxury camp, this new model combines intense contact with nature, adventure, sustainability and comfort.
If you love contact with nature, but don’t give up comfort and a touch of refinement, luxury camping is what you should look for on your next trip.
At the luxury camp you can enjoy nature with certain amenities, such as: hot bath, soft bed, decoration, among others.
Where did the concept of luxury camping come from?
Luxury camping emerged amid safaris in Africa and later became fashionable in the United States and Europe.
In Brazil, this style of camping took a little longer to arrive. Just over ten years ago, the luxury camp arrived and touched the hearts of Brazilians. Its first structure in Brazil was in the Amazon region.
Camp Style
With the pandemic, the search for camping gained prominence among people who wanted to escape to a place surrounded by nature, without crowds. Thus, new ventures emerged, and today the luxury camp is a highly sought after accommodation among travelers.
The diversity of the camp is quite varied. Styles range from super-structured tents, domes, tree houses, stilts, sophisticated chalets and even cabins.
Some examples of luxury camping:
Treehouses: They are innovative and, when remodeled, they are unique, luxurious and striking. Totally immersed in nature, you can reach the top of the tree and, while taking a shower, you can hear the birds even closer.
- Structured tents: Common on African safaris, tents are classified as canvas structures. They are located in special and remote locations, but with the benefits and comfort of a hotel room.
Why choose luxury camping?
Going to a luxury camp may seem crazy for the “root adventurers”. However, it is a very pleasant and special option for those who are starting to experience adventures in nature and want to get out of traditional trips without giving up unique experiences and comfort.
Luxury camping has become a way to bring groups of younger and older generations together. This type of leisure is increasingly popular, especially among families, people with high purchasing power and retirees.
After all, who wouldn’t like to explore nature, the beauty of the forest, rest in front of the sea, wake up to birdsong or admire a waterfall with all the comfort of luxury accommodation?
Contact with Nature without Giving Up Comfort
For those who love the idea of being outdoors but don’t want to deal with the inconveniences of traditional camping, like pitching a tent, dealing with bugs, or going without electricity, glamping is the perfect solution. You have the best of both worlds: the beauty and serenity of nature, with the comfort of a resort.
Sustainability and Reduced Environmental Impact
Many luxury camps are designed with sustainable practices in mind. This includes everything from the use of ecological materials in the construction of accommodation to the implementation of renewable energy systems, such as solar panels. Furthermore, most places promote conscious tourism, respecting and preserving local ecosystems.
Personalized and Unique Experiences
Each luxury camp offers a unique experience, which can include everything from African safaris, hot air balloon rides, guided hikes, to sunset meditation. Guests have the opportunity to participate in exclusive activities that make each stay unforgettable.
Ideal for All Types of Travelers
Whether you’re a couple looking for a romantic getaway, a family looking to disconnect from the urban grind or a group of friends looking for adventure, glamping offers something for everyone. The flexibility and diversity of accommodations mean that this type of accommodation adapts to the needs of each traveler.
