Tucked away on the scenic Shima Peninsula, in the area of Ise-Shima National Park, is a gem unlike any other – Glamp Ocean Iseshima.
Combining the wild allure of camping with the comfort and luxury of a high-end hotel, Glamp Ocean Iseshima is a glamping – or glamorous camping – resort that offers a unique vacation experience.
Inaugurated in July 2020, this unique resort sits on a private beach, overlooked by the Awamiko Shrine, one of the 125 buildings of the sacred Ise Jingu Inner Shrine. The resort is nestled between the calm, shallow waters of its private beach and a quiet cape, offering a secluded haven for visitors.
Glamp Ocean Iseshima is thoughtfully divided into two sections: the Bay Area and the Seaside Area. Each offers a unique vibe and view. The Seaside Area, as the name suggests, is situated right on the seashore, providing an open and airy ambience. In contrast, the Bay Area is enveloped by beach woods, creating a more private and peaceful setting.
Glamping is a blend of glamour and camping, an outdoor adventure elevated by creature comforts that would typically be found in a hotel. It’s the luxury of a plush bed, a private bathroom, and gourmet meals, without sacrificing the rustling breeze, the sweet song of local fauna, and the incomparable vistas of natural beauty.
Glamp Ocean Iseshima truly embodies this concept. The dome-style rooms here are every bit as comfortable and luxurious as what you’d find in a top-notch hotel or a traditional Japanese ryokan, yet they preserve that intimate connection with nature that defines camping. This resort allows you to immerse yourself in the great outdoors without giving up the conveniences of modern life.
The location of Glamp Ocean Iseshima in the Ise-Shima area further enhances this experience. The Ise-Shima National Park, encompassing the cities of Ise, Toba, and Shima along with the town of Minami-Ise, is a treasure trove of natural beauty and cultural significance. The park is known for its rugged coastline, pearl cultivation, and the Ise Shrines, considered the most sacred Shinto shrines in Japan. The Shima Peninsula is a beloved leisure resort area, drawing visitors from urban hubs like Nagoya and Osaka who seek a blend of relaxation, adventure, and spirituality.
In the following sections, we’ll delve deeper into the specifics of Glamp Ocean Iseshima’s accommodation, cuisine, access, and the local sightseeing opportunities that you can explore during your stay.
