You’re craving some quality time with Mother Nature, but let’s be real, sleeping on the ground and fighting off mosquitoes isn’t exactly your idea of a dream vacation.
That’s why glamping (a.k.a. glamorous camping) has gotten so popular in the travel scene. You get all the cozy comforts of home, but with stunning natural views all around you.
From national parks to safari adventures, the world is full of breathtaking glamping destinations. After years of seeking out unforgettable stays under the stars, I’ve gathered a few standout spots where nature and luxury come together perfectly.
1. Inara Camp, Morocco
If you’re craving a desert escape, Inara Camp is pure magic. We stayed here for two nights on our 17-day Morocco trip for our anniversary, and we cannot wait to come back!
Settled in the striking Agafay Desert, this luxury camping spot features spacious tents decked out in elegant Moroccan decor, blending comfort with wild beauty. The lunar-like landscape, set against the Atlas Mountains, offers a surreal backdrop for relaxing and capturing incredible photos.
Try a camel trek across the dunes, take a pottery class, or ride through the eucalyptus forest on a desert E-bike. After a day of fun, admire the sunset from The Desert Lagoon. Dinner is served “in circle” around crackling fire pits as the desert sky fills with stars. It’s the kind of place that feels like a dream but stays with you long after you leave!
2. Clayoquot Wilderness Resort, Canada
Clayoquot Wilderness Resort redefines wilderness luxury on Vancouver Island’s untamed coast. From May to September, enjoy safari-style tents complete with wood stove heating, handcrafted furnishings, and dreamy views of forests and fjords. Keep an eye out—this spot’s a favorite hangout for whales, bears, and bald eagles!
Fill your days with quintessential North America adventures like heli-hiking across alpine meadows, kayaking alongside sea lions, or fly-fishing in glacial rivers. Indulge in gourmet meals featuring fresh, local seafood and unwind in a cedar barrel sauna with stunning views of the estuary. It’s wilderness immersion without compromise.
3. Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle, Thailand
If you love elephants and jungle vibes, this Four Seasons spot offers something truly special. Imagine waking up in a luxury tent in the mountains of Chiang Rai, with private decks, outdoor showers, and canvas walls that open right up to the forest. The highlight? Spending time at the elephant sanctuary, where you can feed and bathe these amazing animals.
When you’re not bonding with elephants, trek through bamboo jungles, or take a river cruise along the Thai-Laos border. Back at camp, treat yourself to a relaxing spa session and some delicious gourmet food. It’s all the creature comforts of a five-star hotel, wrapped up in a once-in-a-lifetime wilderness experience.

4. Tree Hotel, Sweden
Ever slept in a UFO? Or a giant bird’s nest? At Sweden’s Treehotel, your childhood tree house dreams just got a wild, grown-up upgrade. Seven wildly unique designs, including one with a glass floor suspended high in the pines, turn your stay into an architectural wonder.
Winter turns the forest into a snowy wonderland, perfect for husky sledding or chasing the northern lights, while summer invites outdoor adventures like guided foraging and alpaca hangouts. After a day of exploring, unwind with locally sourced meals in the treetop restaurant, or relax in the sauna hot tub nestled among the trees.
5. Wild Coast Tented Lodge, Sri Lanka
Perched right next to Yala National Park, Wild Coast Tented Lodge is the ideal spot to catch a glimpse of leopards while relaxing by the ocean. The 28 luxury tents are tucked into the landscape so well, you’ll feel like part of the jungle. The glamping resort’s design is shaped like a leopard’s paw print, a fun nod to the star residents nearby!
The atmosphere here is relaxed but totally special. Dine in an open-air pavilion that mirrors the boulders on the beach, with the pool just steps away. Whether you’re here for wildlife safaris or to soak up the coastal views, this glamping tent site delivers. It’s wild, stylish, and exquisitely placed between the jungle and the sea.
6. Longitude 131°, Australia
Longitude 131° puts you right in the middle of Australia’s Red Centre with Uluru as your backdrop. Each glamping tent is strategically positioned for private, jaw-dropping views of the desert. It’s remote, but you won’t miss a thing, with gourmet meals and thoughtful touches making it feel like a five-star getaway in the wild.
What really sets this place apart is how it connects you to the land and its stories. You’ll learn about the Anangu people’s deep cultural ties to Uluru through guided walks and storytelling under vast outback skies. Whether you’re here for the iconic landscapes or the quiet magic of the desert, this glamping experience is one you’ll talk about for years.
7. EcoCamp Patagonia, Chile
Exciting, glamorous, and totally unique, EcoCamp Patagonia delivers an extraordinary stay in Torres del Paine National Park. Sleep in geodesic domes with skylights for stargazing, fuel up with fancy meals, and recharge with yoga classes in their dedicated wellness dome. Days here are for epic hikes to glaciers and wildlife spotting, all while leaving a minimal footprint.
What I like about this place is how it masters sustainability without sacrificing comfort. Solar-powered domes, locally sourced food, and a warm communal vibe—it’s got it all! Whether you’re stretching in yoga classes or exploring the park, EcoCamp makes every adventure one to remember.

8. Capitol Reef Resort, Utah
Sleep in authentic Conestoga wagons at Capitol Reef Resort! It’s just like the pioneer days, but with Wi-Fi and air conditioning. These wagons fit up to six people with a private bathroom nearby. Prefer something cozier? Their teepees come with a flat-screen TV and a king-size bed, perfect for couples. Both options are available from late May to September, letting you enjoy Utah’s red rock views without roughing it.
After a day exploring Capitol Reef National Park, unwind at the resort’s hot tub or grab a meal at the on-site restaurant. Guests love how easy it is to access the park’s hidden trails and stunning landscapes from here. Whether you’re crashing in a wagon or a teepee, this spot makes it easy to connect with nature while still keeping things comfy.
9. Cottar’s 1920s Camp, Kenya
Set in its own sprawling 7,608-acre conservancy near a remote corner of the Masai Mara, Cottar’s 1920s Camp feels like stepping back in time. The safari-style canvas tents are decked out with 1920s charm. Think sepia photos, vintage furnishings, and cozy armchairs perfect for lounging.
This place is full of exciting outdoor activities. You can spot the Big 5, go birding, or try river fishing, then unwind with a complimentary massage. The camp organizes game drives, bush walks, and even village visits, giving guests an authentic taste of Kenyan culture. The ultimate glamping getaway!
10. Hoshinoya Fuji, Japan
Hoshinoya Fuji is a glamping site with minimalist vibes and epic views of Mount Fuji. The rooms are these cool concrete cubes with floor-to-ceiling windows tucked into the forest, like a modern twist on a rustic cabin. When you arrive, you’ll get to pack your own adventure kit with essentials like binoculars and sleeping mats. It’s all about making your outdoor experience personal and fun!
One of the best spots here is the Cloud Terrace, a series of wooden decks that feel like they’re floating in the trees. It’s the perfect place to relax and take in the scenery. From canoeing and food-smoking workshops to lava hiking and beyond, there’s always something exciting to try at Hoshinoya Fuji.
11. Wadi Rum, Jordan
Tucked into a sweeping red valley that looks more like Mars than Earth, this glamping oasis blends otherworldly desert beauty with unmatched luxury. The camp is surrounded by rugged mountains and the endless golden dunes of the Arabian desert for an experience like no other.
Sleep beneath the stars in your private, air-conditioned dome with a transparent roof, waking to Martian-like desert views from your deck. The wild terrain offers plenty to explore, whether it’s a jeep tour or an authentic camel ride. When it’s time for food, savor Bedouin feasts cooked underground and unwind at the rock-carved bar with shisha under starry skies. It’s raw desert magic, with five-star flair.
