What makes staying overnight in a yurt so special?

A yurt is not a standard vacation rental. This traditional Mongolian tent has a round, wooden construction and is usually covered with felt or canvas. Inside, it feels surprisingly spacious and cozy: the round roof provides natural acoustics and the layout is often minimalist but well thought out. What makes renting a yurt in Drenthe so attractive is the combination of nature experience and comfort. You experience outdoor life like camping, but with the luxury of a real bed, a wood-burning stove and sometimes even a private bathroom or hot tub. Most yurts are tucked away in the woods, in a clearing on the edge of a nature reserve or on small-scale glamping sites where silence really is silence.

For many people, it is also the shape and atmosphere that attracts. The round space feels safe and cozy, which is perfect for a romantic weekend getaway or mindful retreat. Families are also increasingly choosing yurt vacations precisely because it feels adventurous without sacrificing convenience. In Drenthe, you'll find both authentic Mongolian yurts and modern versions, often made from sustainable materials. Some are furnished with Persian rugs, while others are sleekly Scandinavian. The stays are diverse, but the experience remains unique.

The most beautiful locations for yurts in Drenthe

Drenthe has everything for a special glamping experience. The vast nature, peaceful atmosphere and small-scale design of many accommodations make it a top destination for yurt lovers.

An absolute must is the yurt in Dwingeloo. Located on the edge of National Park Dwingelderveld, it offers direct access to hiking trails through heaths and forests. At night you can stargaze here - Dwingeloo is known for its dark nights and clear skies. Also in the surroundings of Ruinen and Diever you will find several yurts that are perfect for those who want to spend special nights in Drenthe. Here you combine comfort with culture, as you are close to attractions such as the Shakespeare Theater and historical dolmens. In North Drenthe, towards Norg or Roden, you will find yourself in the coulisse landscape: an alternation of woods, meadows and dirt roads. Here are several small-scale glamping sites where you can stay in a yurt overlooking the sunrise over the field. And then there are the really remote places: hidden yurts in an open field, with no immediate neighbors. For those who want to escape stimuli or go offline for a while, these are the places where you can completely unwind.

For whom is a yurt stay in Drenthe suitable?

Yurts appeal to a wide audience, but they are certainly not for everyone. That is precisely what makes them so interesting. An overnight stay in a yurt is perfect for those who want to combine adventure with comfort and for whom experiencing nature is more important than a flat screen on the wall.

Couples often choose a yurt in Drenthe as a romantic getaway. The atmosphere is intimate, the view soothing and the feeling of staying together in a cocoon works binding. Especially when there is a wood stove and you can roast marshmallows together in front of the door.

For families, a yurt offers a playful and adventurous overnight stay. Children love sleeping in a round tent, often with bunk beds or sleeping mats on a wooden floor. However, it is helpful to choose a yurt with its own bathroom or a glamping site with good facilities.

Solo travelers, writers or yoga enthusiasts find in a yurt a place for rest and deepening. Because many sleep in yurt sites are secluded, they are ideal for those who want to read, meditate or write undisturbed for a while.

Yurt rental as part of glamping in Drenthe

Glamping has been booming in recent years - and yurts are an important part of that trend. They offer the charm of camping without the dragging of tent poles and air mattresses. And Drenthe, with its peace and space, is an ideal place to experience this in a relaxed way. At several glamping sites you will find yurts that are part of wider stays, such as safaritents or tiny houses. Here you often have shared facilities such as an outdoor kitchen, campfire area or ecological shower cabins. The atmosphere is friendly and focused on connection - with nature and with each other.

For those who prefer a little more comfort, there are also places that combine the yurt with a hotel experience: think a private bathroom, stocked refrigerator upon arrival and breakfast service. This mix of freedom and convenience makes glamping more accessible to many people. In Drenthe, the smaller-scale sites are especially popular, with a focus on sustainability and tranquility. So you experience the real outdoors, without mass tourism or crowds. A yurt therefore fits perfectly within the concept of glamping in Drenthe: natural, attractive and just that little bit extra.
