Try to picture yourself sitting under a million stars, chatting until the early hours, whilst toasting marshmallows over a fire pit. Imagine a lazy morning, curled up under your blanket next to the glow of a fuel stove. They say camping is nature’s way of feeding mosquitoes. Don’t let that joke scare you because glamping in Bali is the exact opposite of what you’d expect.
Glamping has recently become a trend around the globe and it is a form of camping that comes with utmost comfort, hence its name ‘glamourous camping’. Worry not about finding a camp site, setting up tiny nylon tents and suffering in cramped sleeping bags. As the newest travelling fad, glamping brings you in touch with nature whilst hanging onto that 5-star hotel experience.
There are numerous romantic places for glamping in Bali where you won’t have to give up that plush, luxurious bed, running water and electricity. The only things that you will give up are the concrete walls that surround you – and that’s hardly a sacrifice.
Sandat Glamping
In Ubud, Sandat Glamping Tents will take you into the middle of the rice fields. As one of the most popular glamping sites in Bali, their 5 safari-style tents each have their own private infinity pool together with a terrace that leads into the forest. Lumbung cottages are also up for grabs; traditional local houses with alang–alang roofs and balconies overlooking the abundantly green surroundings.
The interiors of the tents are handpicked for their ethnic style that matches the surroundings. Gorgeous raw woods dominate the atmosphere, along with light, pearl white linens that accentuate the natural light flooding in from outside. Pearl chandeliers, hand painted furniture, coffee plants and white shells all add to that feeling of being in ‘the wild’.
The tents are surrounded by rice fields and vast vegetation. Perfect seclusion has been achieved with bamboo screens and vertical gardens, giving you all the privacy you need. Just listen to the sounds of the evening critters as they chirp in the bush.
With the capability to accommodate only a few people, Sandat Glamping offers a perfectly unique experience. However, a quick 10 minute drive sees you back in Ubud centre if you’re really missing civilisation that much (but you won’t).
