Camping does not always mean lack of comfort or simplicity, nights of mosquito bites, or waking up in the middle of the night because of rainwater leaking into the tent. Now, you will gradually get used to the form of camping with luxury and comfort standards, with a new type of experience: Glamping (*). Luxurious camping trips are a very hot resort trend in the world, and are gradually becoming a trend favored by young people in Vietnam.
(*) Glamping: a combination of glamorous and camping, meaning camping according to luxury standards
Glamping is also a way for you to enjoy the feeling of being immersed in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, both relaxing and connecting family members in an open space.
Comfortable but private
It would be wonderful to lie in a splendid wooden tent with a private swimming pool, watching the sunset fall in the middle of the desert in the United Arab Emirates. Or take a hot air balloon tour, explore the savannah world at night, wake up next to wild animals outside the tent in the middle of the Masai Mara reserve in Kenya. Those are unique experiences from Glamping. Some glamping areas such as Warwick Castle, a famous castle in the UK, even take visitors back in time, learn sword fighting, archery and relax like a member of the royal family in medieval aristocratic tents.
There is still much debate about the amenities and material things that are considered the "standard" of luxury for glamping. However, it is easy to see that the most typical feature of Glamping is the cabins, tree houses, igloos, tipis, and luxury tents that are always lavishly decorated from the exterior design to the interior. There are also private toilets, and the tents are always carefully protected against water, fire, and insects, limiting inconveniences. Glamping also integrates high technology for tourists to experience nature up close, sleep by the beach or in the middle of the green forest, and enjoy the comforts of home.
Of course, glamping is different from camping in that the privacy of visitors is always put first, along with other services to bring maximum comfort and enjoyment. Glamping tents are rarely located close together like camping, but always have a certain distance for you to enjoy private moments of relaxation in the middle of wild nature. You can combine glamping with horse riding, fishing, diving to see coral, mountain climbing, kayaking, archery. Or enjoy a hot, fragrant BBQ party with a glass of champagne, lying down and listening to the singer singing acoustic music under the starry sky.
