Do you dream of relaxing in nature to enjoy the starry sky and fabulous views, but at the same time you do not want to lose the usual comfort? This is quite possible if you stay in glamping - a comfortable house or tent. Haven't heard of such hotels yet? We tell.
What is glamping?
Literally from English, "glamping" is translated as glamorous camping (a combination of the words glamor and camping). This is a relatively new format of accommodation facilities, which is usually a stylish and quite modern building, the roof of which can be made of glass, and the walls of wood.
Also, it should not be confused with camping, because it is not just a tent on a platform, a glamping must have a toilet and shower, stylish furniture, soft bedding, electricity, Wi-Fi, even air conditioning and a kitchen.
Usually, glamping sites are located in the main tourist spots - in the mountains, forests, on the sea and river coasts.
The history of glamping
The first to relax comfortably in tents were the medieval kings, who pitched huge tents during their campaigns, where there were many amenities for the highest persons. Later, this format was borrowed by rich hunting enthusiasts who made expeditions in Africa and South America. Back then, their tents housed not only comfortable beds, but also whole libraries and real cast-iron bathtubs.
In the modern world, this format of recreation gained popularity in the mid-2000s in Great Britain. Then the organizers of music festivals began to equip campsites with all the amenities to attract the most demanding visitors. Gradually, this format of recreation began to gain popularity around the world, including in Ukraine.
