3. Magnetic Glamping Safari Tent 2

25km from Nome · 1 site · Lodging
Luxury Safari Tent 2 is a king-size lodge. Ideal for couples, solo travellers, and nature-loving friends. Not suited to party groups or loud gatherings. Designed for guests who value quiet, privacy, and presence. Limited availability by design. This is glamping for people who don’t want crowds, noise, or screens. Our safari-style tents are thoughtfully nestled into the natural landscape, surrounded by eucalypts, granite boulders, and open sky. Days unfold slowly here—morning tea on your private deck, wildlife passing through, long lunches, golden-hour walks, and evenings softened by the sounds of the bush. Each tent is designed for comfort and calm, with proper beds, luxury linens, curated interiors, private bathrooms, a kitchenette, and generous space to breathe. Nothing flashy. Nothing forced. Just a beautifully considered place to pause, with piping hot water. Magnetic Glamping is proudly eco-certified, operating with low impact and deep respect for the island we call home. Guests often tell us they arrive feeling busy—and leave feeling lighter. If you’re seeking a stay that feels grounded, private, and quietly special, you’ll feel right at home here.
