We’ve all heard the age-old notion that being outdoors is good for your health; with the fresh air letting your endorphins run wild and free. It’s difficult not to be happy when you’re getting back to nature and embracing the wonderful world we live in. One of the best ways to experience the great outdoors with a little bit of luxury involved is a glamping holiday!

Take your pick from beautiful Shepherd’s Huts, Yurts or even a Tipi; no matter what you choose there is a glamping North Wales holiday out there for everyone. Here are some of the different ways in which a glamping holiday could benefit your health and well-being.

Fresh Air

Fresh air has been proven time and time again to provide enormous benefits to your body, as well as your mental health. Even spending just 30 minutes outdoors a day can help your body to release some happy endorphins – give your lungs what they want, and get outside! With most glamping accommodations, they are set in areas filled with trees and plants which means your body can benefit from some clean, unpolluted air.

You can also be boosting your exposure to vitamin D, you can absorb it without sunny days, so spending as much time outdoors as possible is always going to have health benefits.

Natural Beauty

The impressive and often breathtaking beauty of nature cannot be disputed, with every corner offering something new and exciting for your eyes to feast on. Lots of glamping holidays can centre around exploring the local area, observing your new-found surroundings and noticing the subtle beauties in the world around you.

New Experiences

If you’ve never been on a glamping trip before then this will be a whole new and exciting experience. Sleeping under the stars in a comfortable bed, whilst remaining close to nature is something not to be taken for granted.

Quality Time

Whether you choose to embark on your glamping break with your partner or family, this provides you with the perfect time to switch off from modern life and spend some proper quality time together. Sit down and talk instead of texting and emailing – remove all the temptation of modern technology and get back to a simpler way of doing things, when people actually talked!

Stress Release

The sounds of nature are some of the most relaxing to fall asleep to. From running streams to rustling leaves, the sounds of the beautiful world around you should help to get rid of some of the stress you’ve been carrying around. Glamping can even help to boost your mood, spending time outdoors can help to improve your mental state for up to two weeks after your holiday.

Weekend Away

If you think that life is getting a bit too much, a short weekend away glamping can be the answer to all your problems. Spending time in a lovely little tent or hut can help to relieve tension and give you the opportunity to engage in activities that make you happy – such as walking, climbing, swimming or cycling.

A North Wales glamping holiday is a great stepping stone for people who aren’t ready to quite give up all their favoured hotel luxuries, but want to dip their toes into the world of camping holidays.
