Glamping: A way to enjoy nature.

Lately we have been hearing in Spain the word “glamping” when people talk about holidays. The concept has been getting stronger in the last seasons due to, as far as tourism experts are concerned, those who try it do not hesitate on repeating it. But what is glamping? Why is it attracting more people lately? What’s the difference between the normal camping concept and glamping?

What is glamping?
Glamour + Camping = Glamping

Glamping (also known as glamorous camping or camping boutique) is a new way of camping. As you may imagine, glamping is the fusion between traditional glamping and glamour: the mix between the nature contact and the luxury of a hotel room. The perfect combination between adventure, beauty and emotion of a typical campsite and the elegance, commodity and comfort.

Is there any glamping option in Spain?

Glamping has been born as a hybrid concept to give options to an exigent public that looks for a high concept of their vacation. The idea is to be able to enjoy the holidays in the independent accommodations already created with a high comfort.

The strong point of glamping, especially on beaches and mountains in Spain, lays on the relation between the travelers and the nature combined with the different possibilities of doing activities on the outside. Companies that offer glamping options on their facilities have also a complete range of other services. It’s an alternative thought for travelers who want to have an immersive experience inside a natural environment. Even though there are different glamping options in Spain – from the basic ones to the amazing 5 stars and high conditioned places- all of them having the nature tourism as a common denominator.

Glamping characteristics

Being on the outside: there are such different styles and options for accommodation (iglus, caravans, wood camp tents…) but any glamping option must be on an exterior place with direct contact with nature.
Space between accommodations: there can be groups of houses, caravans, or tents, but a real glamping experience must respect the space of every group of guests as if they were the only ones in house.
Enormous comfort: the wellness is one of the strong points when you search for opinions about glamping in Spain. Having all the commodities (big beds, own bathroom, electricity, climatization, gastronomy…) it’s a must.
Careful design: all the infrastructure, the inside as well as the outside, must be integrated with the surroundings where there’s located. The natural elements are prioritized above everything to provide an exclusive experience.
Full equipped: glamping accommodations have the necessary details to let their hosts have a luxury experience: a kitchen with all the cookware, a toilet with a WC and a shower, air conditioned, kettle, amenities, sheets, towels, barbecue and also Wi-Fi connection.
Focused on the surroundings: the accommodation it’s important, but furthermore it’s the surroundings. A glamping experience at the beach or in the mountains has as main element the nature and its surroundings to offer relax to the travelers.
