Luxury Redefined: How Dubai Does Glamping

There is much more to appreciate in Dubai than just the skyline and luxurious hotels. Why not get the real taste of what actually makes Dubai the way it is and reconnect with nature while you're at it? Let's switch out the basic tours of skyscrapers and busy streets and tone it down, bring in the dunes and starry skies. Let’s go glamping in Dubai, where you can experience the luxury of five stars even under the starry skies.

Glamping is short for glamorous camping, the name truly is fitting for any activity that takes place in Dubai, the experience is all about being closer to nature and enjoying the outdoors without having to give up your safety and comfort. Just because you want the experience of camping doesn't mean that you have to sleep on the hard floor and find your food, or sleep without lights. Why not opt for the same feeling of being close to nature while sleeping in plush, soft beds, stylish interiors, private bathrooms, and even the best dining experiences, all while you're in the middle of the stunning dunes.

Dubai, like all other things, takes glamping to a whole other level. Just imagine yourself being able to wake up to a sunrise surrounded by the beautiful calm landscape, sipping your Arabic coffee on your private deck and finish the day while watching the same sun go back down while you lay under the night sky and gaze at the stars and you don't have to go through the pain of pitching a tent and lighting a fire.

This beautiful resort is hidden in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, and it is exactly what you would imagine when you say the words desert luxury. Every suite in this place has its private infinity pool where you can look over the landscape and take in the dunes; you might even be lucky enough to spot an oryx or gazelle passing by.

Inside the rooms, the design is truly something that ties in the experience; it pulls in decor from Bedouin heritage and blends it in with modern elegance. The resort also has plenty of activities to give you the adventure you came to find in the desert. You can go on camel treks, go horse riding, try your hand at archery, and there are also desert safaris if you want to take a closer look at the wildlife. And at night, you can enjoy some great food on your terrace. The weather at night in the desert is truly pleasant, and the cool breeze drifts your worries away. It's the perfect getaway for couples who want to spend more time with each other, those on their honeymoons, or just anyone who wants the peace and luxurious experience.

Terra Solis Dubai is the perfect place to go if you're someone who loves the desert, wants to experience the desert live, but also loves a good party. From the creators of Tomorrowland, this place brings a glamping experience that is inspired by the festival atmosphere. It's located in the desert, but the ambience is brighter and social; there is relaxation and entertainment all around.

You can spend your days lounging by the central pool, enjoying international DJs, and watching some live performances. By the evening, the scene changes, a nd it becomes lively, with sparking fire pits, gourmet food, and great music.

For those who love to stargaze and want a more magical experience, you will find what you want at Starlight Camp. This glamping spot is unique, and the tents are crystal-roofed, allowing you to admire the night sky to your heart's content.

The interior is cosy and romantic, the lighting is soft and so is the bed, it's bound to put your mind at ease and help you relax. There are plenty of things you can enjoy, although not as spectacular, it's not really a place made for those who are spontaneous, but instead for those who like to relax and do calming activities. There are BBQ dinners, dune walks, and the silence you can find anywhere in the city; all you'll hear around you is the desert wind passing by.

While the general idea of glamping may be to add some comfort to camping, Dubai takes it as a luxury experience, giving gourmet dining, private pools, and activities curated for you all while keeping you close to nature. So no matter what it is you're looking for; romance, adventure, or a social getaway, there's a desert retreat for every mood.
