Lauren Ryback : April 29, 2015

If you’re like us, you’ve had a winter full of adventures in the snow, ice and cold. But spring is finally here, and we want a break from roughing it. We’ve started thinking of ways to treat ourselves to a little luxury camping and outdoor adventure. Lucky for us, Audley Travel’s team of Country Specialist identified their picks for the Most Spectacular Places to Camp Around the World. From a luxurious tented camp in Australia’s Red Center, to camping among penguins in Antarctica, their picks feature camping, glamping and everything in between. Check out the full list below and visit Audley Travel for even more adventures.

Antarctica

If you’re looking for a secluded camping experience, a trip to Antarctica is about as remote as it gets. Follow the footsteps of explorers like Shackleton, Crean and Worsley and camp among glaciers, albatross and colonies of penguins. The icebergs formed by wind and water create an unparalleled polar landscape.

Longitude 131°, Australia

The Australian outback sets the scene for a camping adventure that combines equal parts luxury and spirituality. Longitude 131 ° wilderness camp is surrounded by sand dunes, domes and Uluru kata Tjuta National Park. According to ancient Aboriginal lore, this mystical landscape holds great spiritual significance. Rock domes in the area create a system of gorges and valleys filled with caves that contain ancient rock art. Following days of hiking, learning about the desert ecology and exploring the Australian bush, Longitude 131 ° offers luxurious accommodations, excellent service and fine dining. Learn more

Sandat Glamping Tents, Bali

Join the ultimate luxury safari with Sandat Glamping in Bali. The camp is set on the edge of a tranquil river valley among Bali’s iconic green paddy fields., outside of the bustling town of Ubud. Sandat serves as a base camp for excursions to some of Indonesia’s most beautiful beaches, villages and temples. The property is designed to mimic the surrounding terraces, with three levels of tents and communal guest areas. Learn more

Camping the Empty Quarter, Oman

Just beyond the sandy beaches and coast city of Salalah, is the Empty Quarter of Oman. Only accessible by 4x4 jeeps or camels, the rolling sand dunes offer a serene camping experience. Completely undisturbed by light pollution, it’s one of the best places on Earth to view the night sky. Reflecting the nomadic lifestyle, camp is set up wherever you happen to be at the end of the day. A camp guide prepares dinners over a camp stove and fire while you enjoy an unbeatable view of the night sky. Learn more

Letaka Mobile Tented Camp, Botswana

Discover unexplored areas of the Okavango Delta in the far north of Botswana. This floating safari offers unparalleled views of Africa’s wildlife, including elephants, leopards, lions and antelope. Guests camp in tents with comfortable mattresses, duvets and private ensuite bathrooms, while a skilled safari team provides meals and other programs in the open-air guest areas.

Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Safari Camp is located on a farm in highlands of Santa Cruz Island. Since the farm borders Galapagos National Park, it’s an ideal jumping off point for adventure and wildlife viewing. Visitors have easy access to active volcanoes; unique geological formations and prime snorkeling spots are easily accessible. Since the Galapagos Islands have never been connected to the main land, it boasts a wide variety of unique wildlife and plant species. Learn more
