About

About this getaway

Vinetree Geladan Luxury Tented Resort is a trailblazer in high-altitude glamping, having opened its doors in 2013 as China's first luxury tented resort. Situated at approximately 3,600 meters on the Geladan Grasslands, the resort offers breathtaking views of Laojun Mountain within the UNESCO-designated Three Parallel Rivers World Heritage landscape. The seven exclusive tent suites are designed to blend comfort with the natural beauty of the alpine meadows, creating a serene escape for travelers seeking tranquility and adventure. The resort is dedicated to slow, nature-led travel, offering a variety of activities that connect guests with the stunning surroundings. From shepherd's golf on open grasslands to rejuvenating alpine spa rituals, every experience is crafted to immerse visitors in the beauty of the region. Guided hiking and yoga sessions allow guests to explore the pristine landscapes, while ATV outings provide an adrenaline rush against the backdrop of the mountains. The clear high-elevation skies also promise some of the best stargazing opportunities in southwest China. Interiors of the tent suites are thoughtfully designed, combining expedition-style comfort with local Naxi and Lisu cultural elements. Guests can indulge in meals that highlight Yunnan's rich culinary heritage, served with the warmth of campfire hospitality. Vinetree's commitment to sustainability is evident in its migratory camp model, which ensures minimal impact on the environment. The Geladan camp completed its lifecycle on the grasslands and was relocated in 2019, showcasing the brand's dedication to preserving the natural beauty of the area.

Before tented luxury was common in China, Vinetree Geladan proved that a small camp at 3,600 meters could feel both wild and deeply cared for. Guests arrived by 4x4 through Laojun Mountain National Geological Park, then stepped into heated tent suites where windows framed rolling Geladan Grasslands and Laojun peaks.
