Why farms are perfect for agritourism and glamping
Space and nature
Farms have everything guests crave: open space, natural beauty, and tranquility. This makes them ideal for glamping on a farm, where visitors can enjoy the outdoors in comfort and style.
Farm diversication
Adding glamping accommodations creates a new revenue stream and supports farm diversification. By hosting guests, you turn unused land into a profitable business while showcasing your unique farm lifestyle.
Authentic farm experience
Today’s guests are searching for meaning and connection. A stay on your farm allows them to experience real agriculture, taste local produce, and learn about daily farm life. This personal touch makes your farm experience unforgettable.

Challenges and considerations with launching your holiday on a farm concept
Before launching your holiday on a farm concept, make sure to prepare properly.
Permits and zoning
Check your municipality’s zoning laws to confirm if overnight stays are allowed. You may need to change your land use designation from agricultural to recreational.
Safety and infrastructure
Even temporary accommodations require compliance with safety standards. Include fire extinguishers, clear escape routes, and proper wastewater systems. Our lodges meet strict international standards to ensure long-term safety and durability.
