‘Glamping’ could be even easier with this website
Glamour plus camping equals “glamping.” Thanks to this website, you’ll never have to pitch a tent.
Name: Glamping.com
What it does: Sources glamorous camping options the world over — from floating lodges in Cambodia to luxe treehouses in Italy.
What’s hot: The site defines different glamping opportunities. I liked that it organized them both by destination and by categories, such as tents, villas and huts; cubes and eco-pods; yurts and tepees; and more. I found tented suites in Kenya, a Four Seasons tented camp in Thailand, solar-powered tents in Australia; and luxury yurts in Britain. The large photos kick-start the romantic outdoor adventurist within. The boxed TripAdvisor rating with links to full reviews should soothe skeptics (the website includes only accommodations with a minimum four-star TripAdvisor rating).
What’s not: I couldn’t find any direct online booking. If you want to make a reservation, you must click through to the hotel’s website and book from there. I was interested in a property — the astronomy hotel Elqui Domos in Chile — and its website didn’t work for me. I hope it was a temporary glitch.
