5 International Destinations to Go Glamping
Whether seeking a cozy or luxurious spot to get your glamp on, we’ve got you covered.
Like camping, but with a glamorous twist (hence the name), glamping has seen a rise in popularity—especially among the millennial crowd of travelers—for its ability to offer the best of both worlds: a nature-filled escape from reality but with the creature comforts we aren’t quite willing to do without, because, let’s be honest, while some are satisfied with a sleeping bag under the stars, it’s not for everyone. In today’s world, especially, glamping offers a safer alternative to indoor activities while coronavirus vaccines still make their way around the United States and beyond.
Of course, not all glamping grounds are created equally. From five-star spots flaunting a more upscale respite to quaint destinations offering simple luxuries, glamping comes in all different shapes and sizes—which means there’s something for every type of glamper.
Looking for destinations to try out the experience yourself? Whether seeking an Instagram-worthy treehouse in the woods or an oversize tent-style stay overlooking the mountains, consider these 5 international options where you can pour yourself a drink instead of pitching a tent.
Belize, Central America
Luxury camping in Belize allows you to get outside, explore, and take on new adventures, without having to sacrifice comfort! Spend your days scuba diving or snorkeling in the reefs or hiking through the rainforest. Then come home to your own private cabin—which is floating over the water, of course—where you can take a dip in a private pool.
Monthey, Switzerland
For those more in favor of mountains, consider booking a flight to Monthey, Switzerland, where you can find eco-luxury accomodations complete with private sun decks to make your stay one to remember. Settle down at your luxury glamping site, and make sure they have a Nespresso machine that puts the “glam” in “glamping.”
Morocco
Picture a luxurious glamping experience with the Sahara Desert as the backdrop. (Pretty cool, right?) From Nov. 20 to Dec. 2, 2021, Notiq Agency can bring this vision to life via a special Wanderlust by Notiq getaway. Interested? Learn more here.

Those seeking nature and wildlife on their expedition will find the destination to be the perfect combination of rugged, natural beauty and indulgent luxury. India’s most fascinating and elusive wildlife can be found in the park, plus the chances of spotting a tiger in the wild is among the best in the country.
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Australia
One of the more luxurious glamping destinations having hosted celebrities such as Oprah and Prince William, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia offers envy-worthy five-star glamping accommodations, starting with a view overlooking the desert’s red dunes. The destination—which is home to popular tourist site Ayers Rock—provides travelers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, history, and access to the wilderness.
