Sleep under the stars in transparent bubble-shaped tents with the breathtaking Petra Mountains in the background at the unique Bubble Luxotel in Jordan.
Located on high up on the mountainside, the hotel, which could be the setting of a fantasy sci-fi movie, offers uninterrupted panoramic views of the beautiful surrounds. This luxurious accommodation offering is ideal for those who want to go glamping and take in the red and orange hues of the sun setting behind the dusty mountains.
With 20 exclusive bubble suites, each equipped with their own private hot tub and sundeck, Bubble Luxotel provides a one-of-a-kind getaway.
As it is in a protected area of Petra, guests can watch thriving wildlife from the comfort of their room while sipping on a refreshing cocktail.
