Glamping Pod Design - Do they All Have to Look the Same?

Glamping has become the UK’s answer to a holiday at home. The idea of a staycation is not going anywhere as studies suggest that glamping is becoming more popular as each year passes. If you are starting up your glamping business you may have discovered a wide range of routes you can take in the beginning to make your glamping site stand out from the rest. However, a frequently asked question regards the glamping pod design themselves. Do they all have to look the same in your glamping site? The easy answer is no! The pod designs in your glamping site are essentially the main attraction. Therefore extra effort and creation that is put into your accommodation can stand your experience out from your competition.

This is the most common type of glamping pod design you will encounter. These pods are generally wooden in structure, with a roof and space outside for the guests.

The Sky’s The Limit with Glamping Pod Design

When thinking about a glamping pod design, you may assume that your design will have to be on flat ground. However, there has been an increase in ‘treehouse’ glamping pods over the past few years. These types of designs can create a magical feel for their customers as they stay in a glamping pod that is several feet in the air, overlooking beautiful landscapes beneath them. No longer do glamping pods have to be rooted to the floor, having your glamping pod off the ground can be a unique selling point and will certainly have guests talking about your design for years to come. 


Glamping Pod Size

When having your glamping pods designed, the size of it will obviously be a factor in your creation. If you plan on having multiple pods then please don’t feel obligated to have them built exactly the same. Your glamping pod designs can come in all shapes and sizes. This means a larger pod with more beds than your average pod means you can charge more per person. You can have a large, one floor pod, with lots of different rooms, or you can spread your pod across two floors. While this is a great benefit to the glamping pod owner, a larger pod will also attract larger groups who are wanting to book a staycation. Having multiple pods with a range of sizes will give a wide range of options for potential customers, covering groups of all sizes is a great idea for prospective glamping owners.


Glamping Pod Features

You are also not restricted in what features your glamping pod design will contain. While most glamping pods will have the basics, a kitchen, a bed and heating, these are not your limits. The idea of glamping is to provide the luxury that camping cannot. As a result, your pod can contain almost any features inside and outside. Having toilets and showers installed within the pod itself is a popular option for glamping pod designs as well as hot tubs. Knowing that you are not restricted to what features your glamping pod design can have is great for those who are wanting to provide luxury options within their pod.
