“This is us”
The story of our adventure and our
Unusual and Unique
Glamour Camping
In 2013 comes the first Glamping in Bali
Where Nature Meets Design
The passion for travelling to places where nature is still unspoiled and the passion for the elegant and sophisticated décor but unconventional, are the ingredients that led Emanuela and Federico, a pair of Italians who live near Venice, to give life to this new form of hospitality (glamour+camping) with the opening in 2009 of the first glamping in Italy, the GLAMPING CANONICI DI SAN MARCO and later in 2013 , literally “ caught” by the unspoilt nature and wildlife of this island and the culture of the local people , the opening of the SANDAT GLAMPING TENTS in Ubud that got immediate success being the first example of GLAMOUR CAMP in Bali.
The realization of Sandat lasted 13 months together with old venetian friends like Silvia and Stephen who believed and participated in the adventure.
Promoters of a sustainable, ethnical tourism, respecter of culture and traditions of the local people, Federico and Emanuela have wanted to hire a staff entirely Balinese, looking for the most valuable elements among the youths from the nearby village, taught in local vocational schools and there by returning in this way the hospitality offered to them by this ever-smiling people.
Why glamping?
a pinch of taste and …
We set out to design a Glamping instead of the traditional hotel, because we think that this new form of hospitality “glamour camp” is the expression of the need increasingly felt by third millennium traveller, to get away from populous centres, and from overbuilding of some touristic areas (which unfortunately exist here in Bali) to take refuge in a place where they can live in harmony with nature, but without sacrificing the comfort of a multi starred hotel.
We believe that it is the determining factor in the choice of destination for holidays or just to get back in touch with nature alone generates that inner peace that we often lose.
The comfort and the elegance of the furniture and the discreet luxury in trivial details completes the atmosphere, turning the stay in glamping a life time experience.
A typical day at Sandat
…follow the rhythms of nature and indulge in magical atmosphere of places without predetermined programs…
This is a must for Sandat!
Indulge your emotions!
Even the excursions will be personalized and ….out of the common routes!
What is typically Italian at Sandat?
The welcome and hospitality and…. certainly …. the style!
The collection of 101 mirrors, exposed over 8 meters’ wall is the emblem.
Only one of these mirrors was not made on the island of Bali, but comes from Venice because it has a special meaning that is revealed to the guests that are able to identify it among all the others.
The mirror is the most direct symbol of spiritual vision of harmony.
At Sandat the mirror is designed as a window to look away in space and time, past and future or, as in the famous fairy tale of Alice in wonderland, like a real door that allows you to go into another world.
GREEN-PHILOSOPHY
…a lifestyle
The increase in pollution, the depletion of energy resources, the enormous production of waste on the part of the consumer society, the continued demand for new developments, have produced an increasing attention to environmental issues. The clear water and clean air, forests and green meadows are becoming more and more rare goods and even more precious and they cannot be wasted. the need to find contact with nature is becoming increasingly the determining factor in the final choice for the third millennium traveller fleeing from urban centres and eager to engage in rich experiences and originality but with 5 stars’ facilities.
GLAMOUR + CAMPING
..for sustainable tourism
Here comes glamping (glamourous camping) as eco/ sustainable tourism model that can realise this dream; thus, the use ECOSTRUTTURE i.e. A ZERO IMPACT ENVIRONMENTAL STRUCTURE, perfectly integrated into the environment, ecological and eco-friendly but comfortable furniture, luxurious and sophisticated but always inspired by criteria of environmental respect. the central structure of sandat glamping (10 metres high) and the striking yoga & meditation Shala, are expressions of the most innovative bio-building that uses the Bamboo as natural material and trend in design.
ECOLOGY & DESIGN
a new union
..Concepts that until recently were mutually exclusive , today find their expression in luxury camping that combines the fun of a holiday in touch with nature with the advantages of a service and for an equal to those multi stars hotels.
A study done by one of the major operators in the sector revealed that glamping attracts tourism genetically precise; eco-educated, nonstandard and therefore enterprising and curious individual; it is a tourism of word of mouth being wary of tourist packages, detests crowds and searches nature, landscapes and low density areas of human settlement.
