Glamping holiday in a yurt
One of the most unique forms of glamping is staying in a yurt. Originally used by nomadic tribes in the dry and cold steppe regions of Central Asia, yurts have been transformed into stylish and comfortable accommodations. Today, they come in various sizes and are often furnished with a large double bed, vibrant rugs, and colourful furniture. Here, you can enjoy the cosy camping experience in luxury, sometimes even with private bathroom facilities.
Camping all year round
One of the great advantages of staying in a yurt is that everything is set up for you—no need to carry camping gear! Most yurts accommodate two to four people, though some can host even more. The tent fabric is made from insulating materials, keeping the interior cool in summer. For a truly special experience, try spending a night in a yurt during autumn or winter. After a refreshing walk, you can cosy up by the wood stove. Thanks to the circular shape, the wind has no grip on the tent, and the insulation keeps it warm—perfect for a romantic getaway in the colder months.
Fun fact: Yurts are deeply rooted in ancient traditions. For example, it is customary to enter a yurt with your right foot first, without stepping on the threshold. Curious about other unique camping experiences?
