Glamping - a combination of the words ‘glamorous’ and ‘camping’ is an accommodation style that’s been trending recently and for good reason. Camping and tents have traditionally been associated with enduring the rugged outdoors, muddy shoes and lots and lots of insects. However, glamping allows you to enjoy that feeling of having an adventure in nature without sacrificing comfort and homeliness - a completely unique and refreshing sort of vacation rental. Thus, here are ten of the best Airbnb glamping experiences from all around the world.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 08, 2024.
A teeny tent with sweeping mountain views, Yangshuo, China (from 4 USD)
Starting off, we have something pretty sweet and simple. This small tent for one on a hostel’s rooftop in Yangshuo is a sheltered little spot with views that are worth far more than a night’s sleep here. Wake up every morning to rolling karst landscapes shrouded in mist, enjoy simple breakfasts of coffee and toast, and have fun with your hosts as they bring you around town to try out local restaurants and attractions. Where’s the bathroom? Don’t worry, one is available for you on level 7.

Glamping - old but new
As you can see, glamping is not that new of a concept - nomadic tribes have been doing it for centuries! But it’s still interesting to see how new cultures and groups of people reinvent the places they call home, and it’s definitely worth checking into a glamping experience at least once in your life. You can count on Airbnb to offer you plenty of glamping choices.
