By now, we are all familiar with the new trend that is glamping. For the uninitiated, glamping is essentially “glamourous camping” – perfect for those who wanna experience the great outdoors without sacrificing comfort.

Unlike in Singapore, glamping in Indonesia goes beyond huge bell tents with boho-inspired decors – you’ll get to wake up in an actual yurt on a mountaintop, settle in the forest canopy of a treehouse, or soak in breathtaking views from an eco-lodge. Kick your camping game up a notch and check out these 10 luxe glamp grounds that’re just a short flight away to Indonesia:

 

1. Trizara Resort – with yoga, archery, and paintball
