It’s really come to this. You’ve exhausted every penthouse suite staycation option in the city, and your insatiable appetite for an exotic escape—any escape, really—just won’t stop. So you’re considering camping. Yes, the thing with the tent. And the sleeping bags. Really, it’s a trend happening all over the world, and not just among people who are, how shall we say, frugal.
Whether you’re a seasoned outdoorsman or a fearless, adventure-seeking woman, or you’re simply looking for a new way to enjoy the wild that you can use for social media content, we’re here to help you reacquaint yourself with the great outdoors in the style to which you are accustomed. That is to say, this is Tatler’s guide to the best camping money can buy.
1 THE ELITE EXPEDITIONER
There’s a kind of romance about the days of epic expeditions gone by, when aristocratic adventurers went sailing off to places unknown, a roaring fire in the evening and a sky full of stars and a martini shaker in the travel kit. Here’s a way to recreate that Ralph Laurenesque romance, albeit with a few indulgent upgrades for today’s more technologically dependent traveller.
Load up your superyacht and sail to an idyllic beach like Tai Long Wan in Hong Kong or those on Mamutik Island in Malaysia or Pulau Hantu in Singapore, the latter being a fabulous diving site, so don’t forget to pack your best five-figure dive watch. Have you heard that Rolex just launched a new version of its iconic Oyster Perpetual Submariner? Of course you have.
