The latest lifestyle, fashion and travel trends
Millennials crave three things: novelty, nostalgia and aesthetically-pleasing Instagram shots.
Luckily, this new form of accommodation combines all three. Introducing: bubble tents. Bubble tents combine the nostalgia of camping, with the novelty of sleeping under the stars and they make for a pretty great Instagram photo.
Plus, unlike camping, these luxe bubbles come with their own flushable toilets and lush beds.
Below, we’ve detailed eight of the best bubble tents you can stay in around the world.
Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, Thailand
Situated in 160 acres of ancient jungle in northern Thailand, the Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort is perched on a hill overlooking the Mekong and Ruak rivers. The hotel has just opened two ‘Jungle Bubbles’, perched on wooden decks offering uninterrupted views of the passing elephants and the starry sky above.

Camp Kátur, Yorkshire, UK
A British camp with an Icelandic touch (Kátur means ‘merry’ in Icelandic). While they offer a number of different options, it’s their Geodomes that piqued our bubble-centric interests.
