THE NEW HOLIDAY TRENDS THAT YOU HAVE TO TRY!

Escape Dubai and book these holiday spots around Europe to experience the great outdoors in a comfortable and stylish manner.

Personally camping never excites us because of the tiny tents and leaky caravans but that was before we heard about glamping-the new way to stay in style.  Luxurious yurts, seductive teepees, elegant bell tents, retro-chic caravans… glamorous camping, or ‘glamping’ as it’s otherwise known, is all the rage these days.

We’ve picked out some of our favorite places that are a welcome change from the usual desert safaris.  Albeit not in the Middle East, these spots offer greenery and nature and are definitely worth booking a flight for and experiencing at least once.

Eco-lodge Brejeira in Algarve, Portugal
Embraced by the Algarvian hills lies Eco-lodge Brejeira, the place for those searching for nature, peace, privacy and personal approach. The Yurts are hidden away in a cosy corner on a wooden platform where you can relax in the deckchairs and enjoy the feeling of having only the lizards as your neighbors. The round garden house provides shade and a dining area and has a small kitchen with fridge and basic cooking utensils to allow simple meals to be prepared.

Forest Days in Catalonia, Spain
Set in a mixture of unspoilt meadows and forest with magnificent views you’ll find a small number of lovingly furnished canvas tents, where a massive super-king sized bed awaits you with white cotton sheets and soft pillows. Some tents have their very own eco bathroom with a solar shower and with outside hammocks and your own dining space that provides a very special place for you to sleep in under the stars at night and relax in during the day.
