The Glow Secret Glamping experience is something that has to be seen to be believed. A large central tent surrounded by ten smaller bell tents all set amongst the backdrop of desert. During the day the desert sun shines down upon the site making it seem like a luxury base camp, the starting point of a thrilling expedition. As the sun sets, the scene transforms into something out of a dream as the fires are lit and the lights that are positioned throughout the site are turned on.
So, what makes it secret glamping? Glow has no set location and instead sets the site up at various locations around Israel for a short period of time, making booking in advance a must!
The main tent which serves as the communal area measures in at 75 sqm (square meters), fits up to 40 people, is heated or cooled depending on the temperature and can be arranged in any layout for any need.
Around this main tent are 10 smaller bell tents that serve as guest accommodation. Each tent is 30 sqm and all are air-conditioned meaning that you’ll never be too cold or too hot. Inside, all of the furniture is hand-made from natural materials, along with the carpeting and textiles. Guests gain access to a private balcony, hot water kettle + tea, cookies & coffee capsules machine along with phone charging power outlets. Amenities come in the form of mobile showers and odourless compost toilets.
During the day there is a huge amount to do on-site including spa treatments, morning yoga / Pilates, stargazing, campfire musicians and a cooking workshop. If this wasn’t enough, there are also optional activities in the surrounding area including a 4X4 Jeep tour, RZR / SBS offroad vehicles tour, mountain bike tours, culinary tours (wineries and farms) and more.
When you start feeling peckish there are a number of options to choose from. Freshly prepared modern Israeli cuisine is prepared by the on-site chef using local, seasonal ingredients covering a rich healthy breakfast and lunch, freshly baked treats, hearty dinners and snacks and hot drinks are available at the Main Tent.
As well as delivering incredible experiences for the guests, environmental sustainability is also very important to the Glow team. Glow Glamping doesn’t leave a trace after they pack up and leave and they strive to reduce their waste and use of plastics and packaging, re-use what’s possible and recycle the rest! On top of this, they make an effort to buy locally (especially when it comes to the food) and hire local people to support local businesses and communities.
