Can you really put luxury and tent hire in the same sentence?

Camping doesn't have a reputation as being a popular hobby for the A-List brigade, all that sleeping on the floor and sharing showers simply doesn't appeal. But that may be set to change. It's hard to even describe the luxurious dwellings sited in stunning locations from Ibiza all the way through Africa and the Middle East as tents, these semi-permanent structures often have full size beds and features like cable TV and air conditioning. We're not talking about a beer tent or wedding marquee converted into a mini hotel either, many of the designs are made from scratch using the highest quality materials and can create a striking visual presence.

Europe has some of the best locations for these tent hire businesses, Ibiza has become a popular choice; the rugged coastline makes it a spectacular spot, and whilst the world famous night-life is often the main attraction, staying in a tent can be a more relaxing experience. In the Middle East many locally made tents, that have been in use for hundreds of years in some cases, can be rented for a stay in the desert, the Sahara has many of these available ranging from budget, local style tents, all the way up to 5 star rated establishments with all the comforts you would expect in a solid building. Some of the camp-site purists will undoubtedly question if this style of camping really reflects the values camping was established under, but more people experiencing a night under canvas is likely to be positive for camping overall.
