The first glamping hotel, opened in 2018 in the village of Krikhi, Racha region, welcomes the summer season with a newly opened outdoor pool. According to Giorgi Isakadze, founder of Glamping Georgia Krikhi, a new pool can host over 25 people.
"The new pool will be mainly intended for our guests, but we will open it for a small number of other vacationers when we don't have many guests. It will be possible to book a visit to the pool on our website, the one-time cost is 50 GEL, and if you book a tent, it is included in the price," says Giorgi Isakadze.
According to him, the investment to arrange the "infinity" pool exceeds USD 150,000.
As Isakadze notes, bookings for Glamping during the summer season have recently been activated, and there is an expectation that the hotel will be 100% occupied in July-August.
"So far we have enough rooms. It has been a few days since we actively started accepting reservations. Unfortunately, the Racha tourist season has become very short, bookings are starting late due to many factors, including the Shovi tragedy, which hurt us a lot. We expect to be fully loaded in July-August," Isakadze notes.
Speaking about future plans, the founder of Glamping Georgia says that there are no plans to add new tents, the goal is to create new social spaces.
"We are maximally mobilized to create additional interesting social spaces. We do not plan to add more tents, we want to create services and move to a higher segment. Also, we have already added a new space: we have organized a gathering place around the bonfire and we would like to have other similar offers", says Giorgi Isakadze.
Glamping Georgia Krikhi in Racha was opened in 2018. The hotel includes 10 glamping tents and 2 cottages, however, several rooms are currently under renovation.
Glamping hotel rental for one night starts from GEL 180 per person and increases to GEL 500, depending on the type of a tent.
