Glamping Spain
Glamping Spain
Spain is one of Europe's most complete glamping destinations, thanks to a climatic and landscape diversity that supports outdoor experiences all twelve months of the year. From the snow-capped peaks of the Catalan Pyrenees to the volcanic beaches of the Canary Islands and the endless olive groves of Andalusia, each region brings a distinct character that translates into very different glamping propositions.
With over 300 glamping accommodations spread across three main regions, Spain lets you choose between mountain glamping overlooking the Mediterranean, eco-lodges among vineyards and converted cortijos with infinity pools, or cabins facing the Atlantic on islands of lunar landscape. The benign climate, world-class gastronomy and a network of protected natural parks make the country a benchmark for European glamping.
Mediterranean gastronomy
Spanish cuisine is a cornerstone of the glamping experience in the country. Beach-bar tapas, extra-virgin olive oil from Jaen and Cordoba, Mediterranean rice dishes, acorn-fed Iberian ham and wines from Rioja, Priorat and Ribera del Duero are savoured with an ease that turns every meal into a celebration. Covered markets, denominacion de origen wineries and farm cooperatives open to the public round out a gastronomic experience of the highest order.
Mediterranean beaches and coves
The Catalan Costa Brava, with its crystal-clear coves framed by pine-clad cliffs, is one of Spain's most coveted glamping settings. Andalusia adds the beaches of Cabo de Gata, a natural park of almost lunar landscape, and the vast sands of the Costa de la Luz. The Canary Islands contribute volcanic beaches of black and golden sand in a subtropical setting. Many glamping sites are positioned within easy reach of these shores, pairing coastal nature with the comfort of designer accommodation.
Wine tourism and vineyard culture
Spain is the world's third-largest wine producer, with 70 denominations of origin spanning the length and breadth of the country. The Catalan Priorat, Penedes (birthplace of cava), Rioja and Ribera del Duero all offer wine routes that dovetail perfectly with glamping stays. Touring centuries-old bodegas carved into rock, joining harvest days and tasting wine beside the vines under a canopy of stars are experiences that define Spain's wine-country glamping.
Hiking and natural parks
Spain has 16 national parks and dozens of natural parks offering hiking for every level. The Camino de Santiago crossing the north, the Ordesa National Park in the Pyrenees, the Sierra de Grazalema in Andalusia and Teide National Park in the Canaries are world-class trekking destinations. Glamping sites next to these protected areas give you access to waymarked trails right from your doorstep.
Cultural and historical heritage
Spain is the third country in the world by number of UNESCO sites, with 50 places inscribed on the World Heritage list. From the Alhambra in Granada to the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, from the white villages of Andalusia to the Romanesque churches of the Catalan Pyrenees, glamping in Spain lets you combine immersion in nature with visits to a cultural heritage spanning from prehistory to the architectural avant-garde of Gaudi and Calatrava.
Spain is one of Europe's most well-rounded glamping destinations, with a climatic and landscape diversity that allows outdoor enjoyment year-round. From the mountains of the Catalan Pyrenees to the subtropical shores of the Canary Islands, each region offers a unique personality.
Catalonia leads the field with nearly 130 glamping sites along the Costa Brava, the Emporda hinterland and the Pyrenees. Andalusia pairs converted cortijos with eco-lodges set among olive groves and sierras, while the Canary Islands deliver glamping with Atlantic views and volcanic scenery unlike anything else in Europe.
Spain's climate supports glamping virtually all year: spring and autumn in Catalonia and Andalusia, summer anywhere, and winter in the Canaries where temperatures seldom dip below 18 degrees Celsius. This versatility, combined with first-rate tourism infrastructure and competitive pricing, makes Spain a glamping reference on the continent.
