Even if camping is not your style, you might want to look at “glamping”—the portmanteau of “glamour” and “camping”—which combines luxurious accommodation with the beauty of Mother Nature. Glamping destinations are now available around the world and accommodation ranges from domes to yurts and tiny homes. Here are a few examples:
