Lodges and outdoor hospitality

High-performance, stylish materials for premium outdoor accommodations

Outdoor hotels and lodges offer a different type of stay: a sensory experience, a return to essentials—without sacrificing comfort. The Serge Ferrari Group supports these construction and design projects with robust, durable, and eco-friendly materials suited to all climates and usage contexts. 

Premium, long-lasting materials for upscale accommodations 

Outdoor hospitality combines the appeal of high-end camping with the comfort of a hotel: semi-open rooms with partial or fully open roofs, safari lodges, eco-lodges, stilt cabins, luxury glamping tents, panoramic suites open to the outdoors. 

Using materials like wood and fabric also helps create low-carbon-impact habitats while delivering optimal thermal and visual comfort. Serge Ferrari composite membranes designed for outdoor hospitality and glamping also provide high fire-safety guarantees.

 Outdoor hospitality and glamping: the new face of upscale tourism

Outdoor hospitality (or “open-air hotels”) is a form of nature-based accommodation that combines the freedom of camping with the comfort of a hotel: furnished tents, cabins, mobile homes, or equipped bungalows. The upscale trend in outdoor hospitality is reflected in increasingly premium offerings from operators. This trend—especially visible in glamping (a blend of “glamour” and “camping”)—attracts guests seeking immersion in nature without giving up modern comfort, while preserving the tranquility of the setting. 

Lodges: an immersive experience blending comfort, nature, and design

Designed as semi-permanent accommodations, lodges offer a true luxury escape in the heart of nature, while remaining modular and removable if needed. Lodges and eco-lodges represent the high end of outdoor hospitality and glamping. Typically built with materials like solid wood and fabric, they provide total immersion in nature without compromising comfort: generous spaces, quality furnishings, hotel-grade bedding, and sometimes even a private spa or jacuzzi.
