Imagine waking up in a comfortable, king-sized bed, and the only thing you can hear is the singing of birds and the sound of the wind in the trees. Through the panoramic window or the open roof of the tent you can see the starry sky or the first rays of sunlight touching the mountain peaks. You don’t have to give up a hot shower, fluffy towels or a designer interior, and at the same time you are immersed in the heart of nature as deeply as possible. This is not a dream. This is the essence of Glamping – luxury camping. This growing trendis the perfect answer to the needs of the modern traveler: the desire for authentic contact with nature without giving up comfort and convenience.
As the hosts of “Gołąbek”, fascinated by all forms of conscious and quality tourism, we are watching with great interest how the Kłodzko Valley is becoming one of the most important centers of this extraordinary movement in Poland. Facilities being built here, such as the pioneeringCelestial Settlement or4 Elements Earth & Air Domes, show the extraordinary potential of this segment. That’s why we’ve created the ultimate guide for you. We will tell you how to combine luxury with nature, we will look inside the interior of Mongolian yurts, geodesic domes and luxurywooden huts, and we will prove that a night under the stars can be more comfortable than in many hotels.
What is Glamping? Definition and Philosophy
The word “glamping” is a combination of the English words“glamorous” (exclusive, charming) and “camping”. This is an idea that rejects the traditional idea of camping – uncomfortable sleeping pads, struggling with a tent and lack of basic amenities. Glamping takes what’s best from camping: direct contact with nature, silence, peace and a sense of adventure, and then adds the elements of a luxury hotel:
-
Comfortable bed with high-quality bedding.
-
Private bathroom with hot water.
-
Fully equipped kitchenette.
-
Heating (often with a fireplace or goat).
-
Unique design and attention to detail.
The philosophy of glamping is based on the idea of “slow travel” – taking your time absorbing the atmosphere of a place, being “here and now” and cutting yourself off from the hustle and bustle of civilization, but in conditions that allow for full regeneration and relaxation.
Architecture of Proximity: Forms of Luxury Camping
Mongolian Yurts: A Nomadic Tradition
Yurts, the traditional homes of the nomadic peoples of Central Asia, are experiencing a renaissance in the world of glamping. Their circular structure and a central skylight in the roof (tunduk) create an extraordinary, harmonious space.
-
How does it work? Modern glamping yurts, although inspired by tradition, are made of technologically advanced materials, ensuring excellent thermal insulation both in summer and winter. Inside, despite its round form, the space is brilliantly arranged, often with a separate bathroom and a bedroom mezzanine.
Geodesic Domes: Space Design and Views
Domes, also called “spherical houses”, are structures that look like fragments of a space base moved to the heart of the forest. Their main advantage is a huge, panoramic window that covers the entire front wall.
-
How does it work? Thanks to this solution, the line between inside and outside is blurred. Lying in bed, you have the impression that the forest or mountains are at your fingertips. It’s perfect for stargazing and waking up to the sunrise.
Tiny Houses and Wooden Huts
This is a trend for lovers of minimalism and Scandinavian design. Small but extremely functional houses, often built of natural, ecological materials, offer everything you need for a comfortable stay in just a few square meters.

“Dove” and Glamping: Two Ways to Create a Deep Connection with Nature
Although “Gołąbek” offers comfortable rooms in a traditional brick building, the philosophy that guides us is very close to the idea of glamping. We believe in the power of silence, in the value of authentic contact with nature and in the need to create places that allow for true regeneration away from the hustle and bustle. Glamping is a fantastic, innovative form of tourism that we wholeheartedly recommend as a unique experience. Our offer is a perfect complement to it – we offer proven comfort, space and hospitality, which can be an ideal base for discovering the entire region, including visiting unique glamping facilities in the area. Regardless of whether you choose accommodation in a yurt, a dome or in our home, the most important thing is that you find your own way to be closer to nature in the Kłodzko Valley.
