Discovering destinations that combine luxury with nature is the dream of any modern traveler. Here on the Glamping Hidden Treasure blog, we always strive to bring you the best accommodation options that transform “sleeping away from home” into a sensory experience. Today, we’re going to talk about an icon in the sector in Santa Catarina: Zion Bubble Glamping.
What is Zion Bubble Glamping?
Zion Bubble Glamping is an invitation to disconnect. With units located in two of the most coveted destinations in Southern Brazil, the proposal is to offer total immersion through transparent structures (the famous “bubbles”), which allow you to observe the stars and nature without giving up a king-size bed, air conditioning and, often, a private hot tub.
Innovative Concept:
Zion’s bubble rooms are transparent geodesic structures that function as true observatories of nature. During the day, they offer 360° panoramic views of the Araucaria forests in Urubici or the Atlantic vegetation in Florianópolis. At night, they transform into private planetariums, where guests can observe the stars from the comfort of their king-size beds.
Bubble Hotel in Urubici: Soul Nature Retreat
Urubici, known as the “Coldest City in Brazil,” offers a unique setting for the bubble hotel experience. Located on SC-110, Km 393, on the high-altitude field route, Zion Bubble Urubici is situated in one of the highest regions of Santa Catarina, with altitudes reaching 1,600 meters.

The Glamping Lifestyle: Why are so many people choosing this experience?
The exponential growth of glamping in Brazil and worldwide is no coincidence. This phenomenon reflects profound changes in the priorities of modern travelers and in how people seek to connect with nature and their own lives.
Traditionally, nature tourism required sacrifices: sleeping uncomfortably, foregoing adequate hygiene, enduring precarious conditions. Glamping breaks with this paradigm, proving that it is possible to have an authentic experience in nature without discomfort.
But why are so many people swapping traditional hotels for these structures?
- Real Connection: We live in noisy cities. Glamping offers the silence that conventional luxury doesn’t always deliver.
Sustainability: Generally, these accommodations have a much smaller environmental impact, integrating with the local topography. - Visual Experience: In the age of social media, the unique aesthetic of a dome or bubble provides unforgettable memories.
- Mental Health: Studies show that direct contact with nature reduces cortisol (the stress hormone). Glamping is the “cure” with 400-thread-count sheets.
