Glamping : Glamourous Camping !

The idea of falling asleep under the stars and having a family barbecue around the campfire might sound very appealing if it weren't for the bugs, hard floors, leaking tents and smelly sleeping bags. Glamping, short for glamorous camping, offers the perfect solution to all those would-be campers who don't want to put up with the harsh reality of camping. Organised glamping trips let you enjoy amenities far exceeding anything most campers have ever experienced, while allowing you the same exposure to the great outdoors like traditional camping.

Typical glamping tents are solid canvas constructs, often designed with bright designer colours and materials. Prime glamping spots furnish them with hotel-style beds, carpets, chairs, desks and other furniture. They also equip them with either solar or electrical power, a stove and running water.

The level of luxury you will experience in such a glamping tent is very similar to a hotel room or a high-end bungalow. Imagine smelling pine-scented air while lying in your comfortable bed, listening to the sounds of birds, crickets and the nearby river or sea…

Glamping is the most eco-friendly architectural concept as there is no footprint on the environment. Everything can be removed. Land returned to its original state.

Glamping is by far the best way to live in real harmony with nature; Be it on a beach, inside a tropical forest, alongside a river or high on a peak, the feelings you get inside a canvas structure are those of a perfect harmony with nature. All noises are true. You feel the weather though you are protected from the sun, the rain and the wind. You smell, feel, see nature for real.

Glamping is the next booming travel concept already available in the Caribbean.

Tents and canvas : Hurricane and earthquake resistance

Tents and canvas structures are earthquake and hurricane resistant.
- you will easily understand how can they be earthquake resistant for there is no roof or heavy structure to collapse on you,
- They are hurricane resistant because they are the only type of construction you can think of quickly dismantling and storing in the specially adapted containers we provide with these tents in case of hurricane threat!
