The Benefits Glamping Pods Can Have For Your Resort

A major draw for resorts, venues and theme parks is their ability for visitors to stay the night. People travel from all across the world to visit this place, what could be more convenient than staying the night in the venue itself?

The world-renowned Disneyland Paris has a collection of themed hotels and accommodation scattered throughout their resort. Western-themed hotels and cosy cabin accommodation are the types of places that you’re able to stay in at this resort. 

Obviously, not every resort has the same revenue behind it as Disney has. However, it’s very possible to have the option of luxury accommodation at your resort.

The introduction of glamping accommodation in luxury hotels and resorts has changed the face of the industry. Let’s go through how glamping and our Kabina pod can have fantastic benefits for a resort.

 

Adding Uniqueness To Your Site

Glamping accommodation is a fantastic way to stand your resort out from your competition. While you could have hotels or housed accommodation on your resort, this can become costly to build and may take time. With the introduction of glamping units, you’ll be able to have a series of accommodations scattered across your resort. No need to take out an entire section of land to build a large hotel.

Having glamping units will also create a notion of exclusivity for the guests that stay, they have an entire space for themselves. Not sharing a hallway and walls with your neighbouring guests like you would at a hotel is a massive selling point, something which glamping achieves with ease.

Some of the best resorts build the accommodation with a theme in mind. Integrating your accommodation with your location is a brilliant catalyst for creating a unique experience for your guests.

A prime example is the Port Lympne Reserve and Hotel in Kent, a resort that’s situated next to a safari. Their lodgings are designed to be an immersive experience, where guests can stay the night in accommodation that’s surrounded by a lion or tiger enclosure. An open plan living room with a large window puts you a mere few inches away from the lions.

This type of accommodation has allowed Port Lympne to create unique stays for their guests and helps them stand out from any other resort in the country.

Perfect Balance Between Luxury And Comfort

As we’ve already alluded to, the added luxury that glamping accommodation can add to your resort is a major drawing point for guests. 

Underfloor heating, a fully furnished living room and a kitchen fitted with a hob are just some of the luxurious features that can be installed in glamping accommodation. We can take this even further to the more luxurious with extra features such as built-in BBQs and hot tubs.

While these kinds of luxurious features would potentially compromise the comfortability or the size of a hotel room, glamping accommodation are singular pods, huts or rooms that are built for this purpose. 

If we look at the Kabina, it has a range of interiors options that are designed to use the space around it as effectively as possible with none of the compromises. The Kabina Standard interior has a kingsize cabin bed, a spacious living area with a kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower and toilet. 

We’re firm believers that accommodation for holiday goers is no longer just about the overnight stay, an accommodation that you can spend the whole day in is just as crucial. What’s so special about glamping accommodation in resorts is that it builds a space that visitors feel comfortable enough to live in. Something your standard hotel rooms can’t achieve simply because of how they’ve been perceived for decades.

An Eco-Friendly Option

A lot of glamping accommodation, especially if it’s been built within the land it surrounds, are often done so with the intention of creating a sustainable and eco-friendly accommodation. 

Kabina has been designed with this in mind, its rolling form is inspired by vistas and open spaces. During its design we wanted to create an accommodation that was considerate to nature, as a result, our cladding can be made from reclaimed timber, larch and cedar. 

The roof of the Kabina is something that is entirely unique, it’s green roof is made from real sedum and wildflower. This not only encourages biodiversity on the roof itself but massively impacts and improves the landscape around it. If you’re looking for an even bigger bonus it provides structural protection, increasing the lifespan of the roof to 50-70 years.

 

A Healthy Return On Investment

If you’ve been weighing up an investment like this up until now. Something that might sway your thinking is the fact that investing in glamping pods has been known to produce a great ROI. We can take your initial project ideas along with our expertise on the average cost of your projects to produce you an ROI. However, in general, glamping experts have said that it’s taken them up to 2 years to see a return on their investment.

We hope this has helped you discover what endless opportunities glamping can have for resorts. You can provide immersive experiences, a story for your guests to tell for a lifetime, an avenue to stand out as something unique and authentic.
