Try
to picture yourself sitting under a million stars, chatting until the
early hours, whilst toasting marshmallows over the fire pit. Imagine a
lazy morning curling up under your blanket next to the glow of a fuel
stove. They say camping is the nature’s way of feeding mosquitoes. Don’t
let that joke scares you because glamping is the exact opposite.
Glamping is recently growing around the globe and it is a form of
camping that comes with utmost comfort. Worry not to find the camp
space, setup tiny nylon tents and suffer in cramped sleeping bags. As
the newest travelling style, glamping romantically brings you in touch
with nature while allowing the 5-star hotel comfort. Glamping is all
about escaping from the world into the heart of nature with no trace of
modernization yet a luxurious twist.
Though
Bali is known for many intriguing sites and activities one can get
involved in, glamping gives another reason to believe that there is
still much to learn and experience in this part of the world. There are
numerous romantic places for Glamping in Bali where you will not have to
give up sleeping in bed, running water or electricity. The only comfort
that you will give up is the concrete walls. As they say, “Life begins
when you start saying YES to experiences.”
In Ubud, Sandat Glamping Tents
will take you in the middle of rice fields. As one of the most popular
glamping sites in Bali, you will be offered with 5 safari-style tents
with each having its private infinity-edge pool together with a terrace
that leads into the forest. Lumbung cottages are there for grabs;
traditional local houses with alang-alang roofs and balconies
overlooking the lush green surroundings.
The
interiors of the tents are amazing and fantastic. If you have always
harboured the fear of the discomforts in the camping tents, then
glamping here can be even more comfortable than your own home. The
decorations are down to detail in order to give the occupants the real
touch of Bali’s nature. Pearl chandeliers, hand painted furniture,
coffee plants and white shells, you will feel at home while in the wild.
Each cottage is also equipped with ceiling fan, mini fridge, i-pod
docking station, internal phone service, and of course, Wi-Fi
connection.
The
tents are surrounded by rice fields, vast vegetation and the beautiful
mother nature. Perfect seclusion has been done with bamboo screen
together with vertical gardens thus giving you all the privacy you need.
So when the jungle is alive at night, and surely it will, don’t worry
about your safety. For the nature lovers, be ready to enjoy the
melodious and at times discords sang by the night creatures. Your night
will be memorable in such an elegant surrounding. With the capability to
accommodate just a few people, Sandat Glamping Tents will absolutely be
enjoyed by any person who loves eccentric things, activities and
places. If you decide to go out from the camping site, it will take you
just a 10-minute scenic drive through the rice paddies to reach Ubud
Central.
Still in the same region of Ubud, hidden away in the rice fields above the Ayung River, Escape Nomade

romantic adventure. You can spend your afternoon embracing the nature
around you under a beautiful assortment of tents and live by the

epic picnic feel. “The Royal High Tea” experience begins with a sublime
footbath and full body massage in a breezy covered tent pavilion next to
the river. Freshly brewed tea of your choice is served on the high
hills.
Relaxed
and refreshed, you retire to the main tent for a divine spread of
champagne and sweets. A promenade of unexpected events in the jungle
await you after you reach a solitary luxury safari-style tent on the
edge of the world. Bamboo flute-playing musicians serenade you, and
there’s time for cocktails and canapes before your walk back to the
temple at sunset.
If
this is still not enough and you are keen on taking your beloved to a
classic dining experience amongst the wilderness, then carry on to the
dining table. The dinner is set within a tent glowing with lanterns and
small shrubs. Wildflowers placed on the table along with linen and fine
china. The four-course dinners are a healthy take on local flavours, and
each course reflects the main colours of the temple offerings like red,
green and yellow. The feeling of being close to nature is intensified
as you dine listening to the wind rustling in the palm trees outside,
the gentle bubbling of the river close by, and crickets chirping in the
foliage.
