As vacation habits transformed during the pandemic, glamping surged in popularity, catering to those seeking a holiday beyond the traditional camping experience. A portmanteau of “glamorous” and "camping,” glamping typically features unique accommodations like creatively designed treehouses, safari tents, bungalows, and caravans. Unlike traditional camping, glamping offers a luxurious escape in nature with amenities such as fully equipped kitchens, plush beds, private bathrooms, and occasionally even private pools. While unwinding away from the city’s hustle and bustle, travelers can savor organic and local flavors prepared by talented chefs and enhance their holidays with activities like yoga classes and outdoor sports.

If you’re yearning for a holiday immersed in nature this summer but don’t want to sacrifice comfort, we’ve curated a list of standout glamping facilities in Türkiye that you definitely want to check out.
