Ready, Set, Relax. Tucked in the corner of West Georgia, Dunya Camp provides an oasis of timeless elegance waiting to be found. Each one of the tent bungalows features an artfully designed indoor space that captures the beauty of the outdoors and the luxury of a five star resort experience. With a desire to find a quick escape from the hecticness of life, each traveler will have multiple opportunities to unwind and find their “zen” moments to regain peace and balance. Upon your arrival one traverses up a steep mountainside to gain access to the breathtaking views of the southernmost part of the Appalachian Mountains.
Breath…one can feel the stress melting away as you arrive at your destination of rest and relaxation. Each luxury tent includes your own private three hundred sixty degree view of the mountains and valleys. Not to mention the sunsets and sunrises to revel while sipping your favorite beverage or enjoying the quiet of just being still. True relaxation would not be complete without your own private wooden sauna and jacuzzi. The outdoor amenities almost surpass the indoor glamping life…I said almost. Picture yourself in the movie “Out of Africa,” and upgrade yourself to a five-star tent experience that rivals most resorts. As you enter your happy place, a gorgeous king size canopy bed and antique sitting area has been designed for every guest to feel at home. Hidden out of view are a spacious rain head shower area and majestic soak tub that looks like it could take away every stress from your mind and body. Further around the corner is a perfect tiny kitchen that is fully stocked with a countertop ice maker, microwave, Nespresso coffee maker and fridge. If anything is missing, it is on purpose. No televisions or excessive digital noise to distract one from truly decompressing while here at Dunya Camp.
The owners Sageetha and Saeid dreamt of a place they could escape from the hustle and bustle of Buckhead Atlanta, thus creating a space for unadulterated peace. When Saeid suggested spending three nights camping in various natural parks, Sageetha was hesitant. Saeid, an avid camper, thrived in the great outdoors. In contrast, Sageetha had a background in hotels, specifically in design and branding, with over a decade of experience at IHG. The notion of tent camping was far from her comfort zone, but despite initial reservations, both agreed to give it a try. After all, stepping completely outside one's comfort zone can be exhilarating.
And exhilarating it was. Waking up early each morning to the sounds of birds and the breathtaking beauty of nature proved to be a transformative experience. The crisp, fresh air, serene landscapes, and simplicity of camp life offered a stark contrast to the fast-paced, technology-driven environment they were used to. It was a welcome and unforgettable change, leaving them feeling different in a positive way.
Upon returning from the trip, the couple reflected on their amazing experience. During their discussions, the idea of glamping emerged as a potential project they could undertake together. While familiar with the concept of glamping, it had not been a major consideration until then. The more they researched it, the more convinced they became that it was the perfect project for them. Glamping combined the best of both worlds: Saeid’s love for camping and the outdoors, and Sageetha's expertise in hotel design and branding.
