Vacations in 2025: glamping at the top of the trends

Glamping in France with Ushuaïa Villages

Glamping has been a growing trend for several years among outdoor accommodation providers and holidaymakers looking for new nature destinations to visit as a couple, with family, or with friends.

Let's take a look back at a phenomenon that is now firmly established in today's world, one that has created high expectations that the Ushuaïa Villages network has immediately set out to meet at its 34 exceptional campsites and sites, nestled in the most beautiful regions of France.

An ode to “glamorous camping”

The term “glamping” originally comes from the fusion of the two words ‘camping’ and “glamour.” It has become increasingly popular in France and around the world in recent years. This is due to its harmonious blend of comfort and outdoor adventure in nature. Here are some key points to know about this unique travel trend: glamping in France.

Types of accommodation

Glamping accommodation options are diverse and can include safari tents, yurts, tree houses, transparent bubbles, yurts or teepees, suspended tents, luxury motorhomes, chalets, and many more. Each type of accommodation offers a unique, unusual, and comfortable experience in the heart of nature.

Who is glamping for ?

Glamping is a type of vacation focused on discovery and relaxation. It is therefore accessible to a wide range of people.

It is ideal for families, but also for couples and groups of friends who want to get away from it all and disconnect in a “green” setting. Some sites are also designed to be accessible to people with reduced mobility.

Comfort and amenities

Glamping generally offers comfortable facilities and modern services.

This can include beds with quality bedding, private bathrooms with hot showers, equipped kitchen facilities, comfortable relaxation areas, and sometimes even concierge or catering services.

Picturesque locations

Glamping sites are often located in picturesque and authentic locations, offering guests the opportunity to connect with nature. Whether by a lake, in the middle of a forest, in a vineyard, or with breathtaking views.

But they are also located close to must-see places and attractions.

Respect for the environment

Although glamping can offer luxurious accommodation, many campsites also emphasize sustainability and ecology.

Some glamping sites use environmentally friendly practices such as recycled materials, solar energy, waste management, and preservation of local ecosystems.

The experience offered

In addition to comfortable accommodation, many glamping sites also offer a range of unique activities and experiences. These include guided hikes, safaris, wine tastings, cooking classes, outdoor meditation sessions, wildlife viewing excursions, and much more.

To sum up glamping

Glamping, in short, is an increasingly popular travel option for those seeking a comfortable and memorable outdoor experience.
