Glamping in Georgia the Country: 7 Incredible Luxury Tents (original) (raw)

A country gifted with more splendid peaks and valleys than you can count, it was only a matter of time before glamping caught on in Georgia. If you love a good geodome or you’re a sucker for a yurt, Georgia has more options for you than ever before.

Most glamping destinations are in the mountainous areas, particularly around Racha and Upper Adjara. You can also find glamping retreats a stone’s throw from Tbilisi or Batumi that make for an ideal weekend break.

Each property on this list offers visitors a chance to reconnect with nature while enjoying the finer things in life – a forest spa, an outdoor hot tub or a glass of wine in your suspended sky bed, for instance. Most are self-contained with a kitchenette so you can truly escape from the outside world – and beat the summer heat – if that’s what you’re after.

Here are 7 places to go glamping in Georgia this summer.

1. Glamping Tago (my top choice for glamping in Georgia)

The highlands above Batumi are prime territory for pitching a tent and as you’ll see, there are quite a few glamping options to choose from in this area. Glamping Tago stands out for both its unique ‘social glamping’ concept and its spectacular location.

Tiny Tago village is set high in the mountains and can be reached by cable car from Khulo, Upper Adjara’s biggest town. Guests sleep in lotus bell tents overlooking the valley, while a restaurant is located nearby inside a traditional yurt.

With a conscious travel philosophy and a mission to inspire meaningful connections with the landscape and community, this is glamping with heart. Easy to reach from Batumi by car or marshrutka via Khulo, Glamping Tago is the perfect salve for summer crowds on the coast.

2. Jewelberry Glamping

One of Georgia’s original and most-Instagrammed glamping destinations, Jewelberry is conveniently located a short drive north of Tbilisi, close to the popular day-trip destination, Mtskheta.

Accommodation is provided in six chic geodesic domes. Standard and premium domes all sleep four people (lower-level bedroom plus loft space) and are fitted with an ensuite bathroom, kitchenette and private terrace. The Sunset Premium Dome faces west and has its own fireplace and outdoor hot tub.

There’s a restaurant and wine bar on site, plus a range of outdoor and adventure activities available in the area, including horse riding.

3. Lisi Glamping

Formerly located at Sioni reservoir, Lisi Glamping now sits on the edge of Lisi Lake, giving visitors a glamping experience in the heart of Tbilisi.

Each of the property’s three geodesic domes sleeps two people and has a rustic but cosy Scandi-style interior, with a wood-burning furnace for chilly nights plus a private bathroom.

Please note: Lisi Glamping is temporarily closed.

4. Ajara Glamping

The bright and modern domes at Ajara Glamping overlook the forested peaks and valleys of Upper Adjara’s Keda municipality, roughly halfway between Batumi and Khulo. This is one of the most beautiful parts of Georgia and I can’t think of a better way to soak it up than by glamping in the heart of the forest.

Twin domes come with all the mod-cons, including projector screens, kitchenettes and private bathrooms.

5. Wine Space

Sadmeli village just outside Ambrolauri is the heart of Racha’s wine region. This mountainous area is a bit trickier to get to compared with more-popular Svaneti or Kazbegi, but it’s equally as beautiful, with lakes, hiking trails and several noteworthy monasteries nearby.

Wine Space offers guests both wood cabins and a geodesic dome that looks onto the Rioni river valley. The dome sleeps two people and features a modern ensuite. The private outdoor deck is the perfect place to sit and enjoy a glass of local Khvanchkara wine and a plate of Racha ham.

Also in Racha, Glamping Georgia is located just outside Ambrolauri on the Krikhula river. Each pair of geodesic domes (there are a dozen in total) has a different theme and a unique interior. All feature an ensuite bathroom, a kitchenette, and enough space for either 2 or 4 guests. Video projectors and air conditioning are standard.

The domes are perched high so you can peer into the treetops from your bed. Visit in fall for splendid amber and rust foliage.

7. Hill Inn

The most luxe options on this list, Hill Inn takes glamping to the next level with its Forest Spa – a cylindrical sauna set atop a wooden platform in the middle of the woods.

Geodome tents and stilted wooden cabins are both beautifully furnished with plush double beds, ensuite bathrooms, kitchenettes and projector screens. Other perks include an outdoor bathtub and suspended rope hammock bed that floats above the valley.

How to get to these glamping spots

Most of these glamping tents are located in remote areas so you’ll need to do a bit of advance planning to get there and back. Some can be reached by marshrutka, and most offer guest transfers on request.

Otherwise, you can try one of these two options.

Private transfer with GoTrip.ge

GoTrip is my preferred way to travel long distances in Georgia. You can use the platform to book a direct private transfer, or you can build a full-day itinerary and do some sightseeing on the way to your glamping destination.

Prices are set in advance (and are up to 60% lower than regular taxis), so there’s no need to negotiate the fare. Drivers and vehicles are vetted and reviewed, so you can be sure you’re in good hands.
