A fusion of glamour and camping, glamping is a way to authentically experience the untamed and completely unique parts of the world without having to sacrifice comforts. It is where stunning nature meets modern luxury.
The Larger Bear is the largest constellation in the northern sky. Well known by most cultures in the world, Ursa Major is associated in Greek Mythology with Callisto, a numph who fell in love with Zeus, and together they had a son Arkas. Arkadia, a region in the Peloponnese, is named after him.
Our site is located in the heart of the Peloponnese in Greece, not far away from where Arkas was born. Ursa is the reflection of the sky onto the land, that leaves its traces on the ground. Myth and reality, sky and earth all become one, united by the many forces of land, history, and science.
The project consists of ten tents (geodesic domes) around a pool-like lake. A common space is located on the upper part of the site and will also be accessible by travelers that do not stay overnight. Open theaters, areas of outdoor activities and open whirlpool baths complement the experience.
