Curious About Camping but Not Quite Ready to Rough It? Try Glamping!
If you love the idea of spending time in nature but aren’t too keen on sleeping bags, cold showers, or pitching a tent, glamping might be the perfect alternative.
Glamping, short for glamorous camping, combines the beauty of the outdoors with the comfort of modern amenities. Think cozy yurts, stylish cabins, or spacious safari tents—all equipped with real beds, electricity, running water, and even private bathrooms in some cases.
It’s a wonderful way to experience the natural world, reflect spiritually, and connect with Allah’s creations—all in a clean, serene setting. Many sites offer stunning views, peaceful walking trails, and even fun extras like electric bikes for exploring.
Looking for a family-friendly and halal-conscious holiday?
There are plenty of halal-friendly glamping options across the UK, making it easy to enjoy a relaxing getaway that aligns with your values.
Glamping comes in a variety of styles and budgets. Like hotels, accommodations range from simple to luxurious. Whether you stay in a tent, pod, or yurt, you’ll usually have access to essentials like a fire pit, communal kitchen, and clean toilet and shower facilities.
What about cost?
Expect to pay between £50–£400 per night for a family of four, or around £350 for couples’ packages. And the best part? You typically won’t need to bring your own gear. Everything is ready and waiting when you arrive—just bring your food, your family, and your sense of adventure.
Ready to unplug, unwind, and experience nature without compromising on comfort?
Glamping could be just the holiday you’ve been looking for.
