Love a getaway that includes plenty of opportunities to unwind in nature? Glam camping in the Czech Republic means exactly that — along with eco-friendly luxury lodging powered by renewable energy, as well as a range of activities and dining choices that register low on the carbon footprint scale. Lodging providers work with local farmers and food producers to provide guests with delicious meal choices, such as organic breakfast baskets that avoid long transportation distances and are filled with local specialties including handcrafted jams and jellies, fresh-baked pastries and breads, rich dairy items, and honey.
Consider these nature-rich destinations:
Right out of the pages of your favorite fairytale, Treehouse & Spa Zvičina in East Bohemia has its own forest garden and stone terrace. Just below the treehouse, a private, steamy Finnish bath set within a ravine invites you to soak to your heart’s content. Cool off beneath a shower, then retreat to an upper deck to gaze out at the surrounding forest. Before you arrive, the subterranean refrigerator will be stocked with basics, along with hearty breakfast packs. Seasonal fresh fruit is also available for picking in the garden.
Let your cares float away at House Above the Water in the Highlands, a two-bedroom retreat built above the water of a swimming pond. Amenities include fitness equipment, a Finnish sauna, a hot barrel filled with salt water and fitted with jets, a terrace with a barbecue, bathroom stocked with organic bodycare products, a wood-burning stove, and a garden with fruit trees. A personal chef is available to prepare a five-course meal, and guests can also opt for yoga lessons and massage treatments.
In the forests of the Czech Republic’s Highlands region, Hidden Retreat is set on the shore of the Hranice quarry. Tranquil and secluded, this hideaway is surrounded by trees and birdsong, and equipped with a wide terrace. There’s a barbecue, sauna and paddleboards for guests’ enjoyment.
Also set beneath the trees of a forest, Teepee & Spa in Central Bohemia is barely 30 miles from Prague, but the private terrace, hot tub and sauna make it seem a world away. Heat up, then cool off beneath an invigorating outdoor shower before cooking your evening meal over the grill. All ingredients for a delicious local dinner are provided.

Nov 21, 2024Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler
The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
