Glamping—where glamour meets camping—is the ultimate way to reconnect with nature without sacrificing luxury. These days, it’s not just about fancy tents; the best glamping resorts offer private chefs, designer interiors, and unforgettable locations that rival five-star hotels.
1. The Resort at Paws Up – Montana, USA
Known as the birthplace of luxury glamping, Paws Up sits on a sprawling 37,000-acre working cattle ranch in Montana’s Big Sky Country. Guests choose from safari-style tents with clawfoot tubs and butlers, or stunning treehouses perched above the Blackfoot River. Horseback riding, fly-fishing, gourmet fire-pit dinners, and s’mores under starry skies—all with five-star service.
2. Longitude 131° – Uluru, Australia
Imagine waking up to a view of Uluru (Ayers Rock) from your king-size bed. At Longitude 131°, glamping reaches new heights with futuristic tents blending into the red desert landscape. Each “tent” comes with a curated minibar, art collections, and an outdoor deck for stargazing. You’ll enjoy bespoke excursions into the Outback and gourmet dining with native ingredients.
3. White Desert’s Echo Camp – Antarctica
Yes, you can glamp in Antarctica—and in serious style. White Desert’s Echo Camp features six futuristic pods inspired by space exploration, with interiors mimicking a secret hideaway. Each pod has floor-to-ceiling windows facing the vast, icy wilderness. Guests arrive by private jet and enjoy gourmet meals, glacier trekking, and even visits to emperor penguin colonies.
4. Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle – Chiang Rai, Thailand
Tucked deep in the misty jungles of Northern Thailand, this Four Seasons tented camp screams adventure. Each handcrafted tent features outdoor rain showers, custom wooden hot tubs, and river views of Myanmar and Laos.

5. Shinta Mani Wild – Cambodia
Created by famed designer Bill Bensley, Shinta Mani Wild is a luxe tented camp set in a private Cambodian rainforest reserve.
