Glamping Portugal
Bell Tents
The bell tent is the most common glamping accommodation in Portugal. Glamping tents typically have a capacity for 2-4 people, but this depends on the size and layout. Bell tents have a central pole and are relatively easy to set up. You can mostly find them in camping parks, like the bell tents at Sublim Ecolodge, near Sines.
A teepee, or tipi, is a cone-shaped tent similar to bell tents, but without the central pole. Tipi tents are traditionally used by indigenous peoples and are less common in Portugal.

Tiny houses
Tiny houses are a popular type of glamping accommodation in Portugal that offer a unique and minimalist approach to living. These houses are built with all the amenities of a home, but in a compact space, often on a platform with wheels, making them mobile and off-grid. Despite usually accommodating only two people, some tiny houses have been adapted for glamping with more guests. Check out the cozy and unique tiny houses in Serra da Arrabida and this tiny house in Óbidos for an unforgettable glamping experience.

Glamping pods
Glamping pods have become a popular type of glamping accommodation due to their affordability, comfort, and unique design. Constructed mostly from wood, they offer a cozy and private experience compared to traditional camping tents. These pods typically include a double bed, kitchenette, and outdoor deck, and some may even have a bathroom. Most glamping pods are designed for two people and are built with wood, just like the ones available at Glamping Hills. Overall, glamping pods are an excellent option for those seeking an outdoor adventure without sacrificing comfort and convenience.

Treehouses stays in Portugal

Yurt glamping
The yurt is another type of glamping tent. Yurts are tougher to set up but are especially spacious and suited for all seasons. They retain heat very well and aren’t only popular because they look great, but also for their sturdiness and reliability. This yurt on Quinta Alada near Lisbon is a great example of a traditional yurt. And this yurt on São Jorge Island is amazing, too.
Safari tents
Safari tents are spacious glamping tents that are well suited for warmer weather because of their open design and front deck. Safari tents can combine canvas with a wooden structure, like these safari tents on Quinta Japonesa near Caldas da Rainha.

Glamping Portugal: Why and where to go
The Algarve with its beaches, coves, and rolling hills is the premier holiday destination in Portugal. But rather than stay directly in town on the crowded coast, why not go glamping in Algarve? Not only will you get to enjoy the natural beauty of the Algarve more, but you will have less neighbors than when staying in a resort town. Stay at this bungalow in Loulé with both a mountain and ocean view, or this comfy bell tent at Monte da Tribo.
With much of the coastline being protected and wild, the Costa Vicentina in Alentejo is a wonderful glamping destination. Glamping Alentejo means waking up in a bell tent on an olive grove in Odemira, or staying in an eco trailer on a organic farm in Aljezur. But glamping in Alentejo doesn’t have to be coastal. The rolling hills and estates of inland Alentejo offer peace and stargazing opportunities when glamping in Alentejo. You can stay at idyllic places like Cantinho da Pay Farm Stay or Herdade Monte da Tapada in Évora.
Surfers looking for waves will want to find glamping in Ericeira, like at Maisuma Glamping Ericeira, or glamping in Peniche at Da Silva Bike & Surfcamp in Lourinhã. Glamping in Costa da Caparica is also a good idea if you want to stay close to the surf.
Glamping in North Portugal is popular because the extra comfort combats the northern weather. Glamping options in the green and rustic north are plentiful. For Glamping Norte Portugal, try this converted shipping container in Viana do Castelo or these bungalows in the Douro Valley.
The natural parks in Portugal are also popular glamping destinations, like Glamping Serra da Estrela. A most unique way to spend a glamping holiday near the Serra da Estrela is in a hobbit house close to Piodão.
The Azores are an amazing destination for nature lovers. Glamping in the Azores is cheap and amazing way to get in immerse yourself in the green landscape of the Azores. From a yurt on São Jorge to a tiny house near Ponta Delgada, you can find glamping in the Azores all across the islands.
