Glamping under the stars

Hosted by The Glamp Life, in collaboration with CampNation Tobago, Beach is introducing the growing international trend of “glamping” to Tobago at a time when visitors and residents alike are seeking new and exciting experiences on the island.

A fusion of the words glamorous and camping, glamping offers an upgrade on the concept of rest and relaxation in the great outdoors. The activity is characterised by luxurious add-ons to traditional camping essentials, including beautifully appointed accommodation with comfortable amenities that make glampers feel (almost) as if they are at home, said a media release.

From August 12-13, glampers can indulge in a mini adventure in Tobago’s virtually untouched countryside. A secluded beach will be transformed into the ultimate chic glamp site, where patrons can dine and sleep under the stars without having to sacrifice certain creature comforts.

The venue can only be disclosed to registered glampers, however, this location promises to treat guests to gorgeous vistas, some of nature’s most soothing soundtracks and a unique brand of fun, the release said.

Beach is an all-inclusive event and includes ground transportation to and from the glamp site; overnight accommodation; meals (dinner, lunch and snacks); drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic; activities ranging from an outdoor movie viewing to sunrise yoga; and a goodie bag of fun stuff courtesy sponsors, Very Exciting Things and The Up Shop.

Security and first aid personnel will be on site for the duration of the event.

The Glamp Life is a niche event planning company founded by Cindy Allman and Aisha Sylvester.

It specialises in crafting chic, outdoor experiences designed to connect people with nature, without disconnecting them from the comforts and convenience of home (or hotels).

CampNation is the brainchild of Sherridan Kirk and Vanessa Boyce. Both adventure seekers who appreciate all the island of Tobago has to offer, they formulated CampNation with the idea of providing an alternative outdoor experience to locals and visitors to the island.

The experience is focused on camping, while incorporating hiking, trail running, water activities, entertainment and group social activities.

Guests are provided with the amenities they are accustomed to while enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. Experiences are tailored for social groups, corporate entities, couples and churches.
