Glamping bubbles

Catherine McGeer

CAMPING is back in fashion and with that, we have seen a rise in a variety of different camping and glamping experiences. From luxurious cabins with private bathtubs on the terrace to Tipi and Yurt camping.

Another camping experience that is growing worldwide is Glamping bubbles or domes. The craze started in areas like Lapland where the Northern lights are visible, hotels began providing glass domes as accommodation for a perfect view of the Northern lights and the starry skies. This type of accommodation became more popular in other rural areas throughout Europe and now it is in demand worldwide.

This type of accommodation is usually on a plot of land with a beautiful rural view and is a favourite with stargazers, some glamping bubbles come equipped with a telescope. They usually have a statement bed in the centre of the bubble/dome with beautiful clean natural décor and a private bathroom. Some bubble hotels even offer a private sauna or pool.

For people who like to connect with nature but don’t enjoy the rustic qualities of camping in a tent, this could be the perfect option.

If you prefer to ‘glamp’ by the sea, bubble hotels are popping up along the coast now too. You can even purchase your own DIY bubble tent if you like camping in your backyard!
