Australians are redefining the way they holiday, seeking immersive nature-based experiences without sacrificing comfort.
At Reflections Holidays, we’ve seen a shift towards high-end outdoor escapes, from glamping tents to tiny homes, as travellers look for a unique way to unwind in nature, while still enjoying life’s little luxuries.
The growing popularity of nature-based luxury accommodation reflects a broader shift in how Aussies are approaching luxury holidays, with sustainability, seclusion and connection with nature now key considerations.
Once a niche concept, tiny homes and glamping now cater to a wide range of travellers, from families to couples seeking romantic getaways.
These facilities also enable newbies to try a camping experience for the first time, while still indulging in luxury accommodation.
They have become a stylish, eco-conscious option for those looking to escape the hustle of daily life while unwinding in thoughtfully-designed spaces centred around enjoying nature.
When it comes to luxury travel, traditional hotels are becoming less appealing with tiny homes and glamping offering greater flexibility and freedom for travellers.
With add-ons such as outdoor baths, fully equipped kitchens, plush beds, air conditioning and more, you can unwind in nature and enjoy all the traditional aspects of camping, while still experiencing the comforts of high-end accommodation.
If you’re looking for a luxurious outdoor retreat, here are some of the best glamping and tiny home experiences across Australia:
