Stay at the revamped Twinpalms Tented CampPhuket, Thailand

If you thought camping meant wet socks, lumpy mattresses, and suspicious rustling in the bushes, Phuket’s new Twinpalms Tented Camp is here to ruin those low expectations in the best possible way.

28 swanky one and two-bedroom tents (yes, with actual walls, air-con and all the mod cons) have been pitched right on Bangtao Beach or in the lagoon gardens a short stroll away, with winding waterways wrapping around them like nature’s own infinity pools, and all we can think about is getting there asap.

Since opening, this adults-only hideaway has been whispered about as Phuket’s best-kept secret, but Twinpalms clearly doesn’t do subtle for long. They’ve just upped the ante with a wellness revamp: think sunrise yoga, lotus petal folding workshops, and a fitness studio kitted out with sleek German gear.

There’s also a Bali-sourced ice bath carved from a boulder because nothing says you need a holiday reset like voluntarily freezing yourself in paradise.

Guests can also float in a brand-new tropical pool overlooking the lagoon before wandering over to the Spa Tent for a massage so good you won’t remember you were ever stressed in the first place. And evenings wrap up around a central campfire with sticky rice and sunset stories, proving that luxury can still feel soulful (and delicious).

Twinpalms has basically redefined camping: no bug spray required, just bikinis, cocktails and maybe a brave plunge into that icy rock bath. One thing’s for sure, roughing it has never looked this good.
