10 Stylish, Modern Tent Hotels (Part 1)
Only stay in hotels that truly matter.—
With that concept in mind, Tablet Hotels, a booking site that exclusively features unique and captivating hotels selected from around the world, has gained popularity among travelers with a penchant for hotels since its establishment in 2000. While camping in the great outdoors is appealing, perhaps you dislike the hassle of assembling poles, pitching tents, or the discomfort of roots and stones pressing against your back. This list is for you. The tented hotels introduced by Tablet Hotels here have eliminated the most arduous aspects of outdoor experiences, replacing them with elements like private pools and claw-foot bathtubs, making them comfortable even for city dwellers.

1. Banyan Tree Al Wadi, near Dubai, UAE

The exotic villas at Banyan Tree Al Wadi are designed to evoke traditional Bedouin dwellings. However, by the time you settle by your private pool, any nomadic feelings will likely have faded. With lounge chairs and fluffy white towels, you'll feel completely immersed in resort luxury, even within your room. In the evening, enjoy a barbecue by the pool under a canopy of stars.
