Ready, Set, Relax. Tucked in the corner of West Georgia, Dunya Camp provides an oasis of timeless elegance waiting to be found. This glamping community is filled with tent bungalows that feature an artfully designed indoor space that captures the beauty of the outdoors and the luxury of a five-star resort experience. With a desire to find a quick escape from the hecticness of life, travelers will have multiple opportunities to unwind and find their “zen” moments to regain peace and balance. Upon your arrival, you will traverse a steep mountainside to gain access to the breathtaking views of the southernmost part of the Appalachian Mountains.
Breathe. One can feel the stress melting away as you arrive at the ultimate rest and relaxation destination. Each luxury tent includes a private three-hundred-sixty-degree view of the mountains and valleys, not to mention the sunsets and sunrises to revel in while sipping your favorite beverage or enjoying the quiet of being still. True relaxation would not be complete without a private wooden sauna and jacuzzi.
The outdoor amenities almost surpass the indoor glamping life…almost. Picture yourself in the movie “Out of Africa,” and upgrade yourself to a five-star tent experience that rivals most resorts. As you enter your happy place, a gorgeous king-size canopy bed and antique sitting area have been designed for every guest to feel at home. Hidden out of view are the spacious rain-head shower area and majestic soak tub that looks like it could erase every stress and worry. Around the corner is an immaculate tiny kitchen that is fully stocked with a countertop ice maker, microwave, Nespresso coffee maker, and refrigerator. If anything is missing, it is intentional—there are no televisions or excessive digital noise to distract from true decompression while at Dunya Camp.
The owners, Sangeetha Ramkumar and her husband Saeid Kazerooni, dreamt of a place where they could escape from the hustle and bustle of Buckhead in Atlanta, thus creating a space for unadulterated peace. When Saeid suggested spending three nights camping in various natural parks, Sangeetha was hesitant. Saeid, an avid camper, thrived in the great outdoors. In contrast, Sangeetha had a background in hotels, specifically in design and branding, with over a decade of experience at IHG. The notion of tent camping was far from her comfort zone, but despite initial reservations, both agreed to try it. After all, stepping entirely outside one's comfort zone can be exhilarating.
And exhilarating it was. Waking up early each morning to the sounds of birds and the breathtaking beauty of nature proved to be a transformative experience. The crisp, fresh air, serene landscapes, and simplicity of camp life offered a stark contrast to the fast-paced, technology-driven environment they were used to. It was a welcome and unforgettable change, leaving them feeling different in a positive way.
Upon returning from the trip, the couple reflected on their fantastic experience. During their discussions, the idea of glamping emerged as a potential project they could undertake together. While familiar with the concept of glamping, it had only been a significant consideration then. The more they researched it, the more convinced they became that it was the perfect project for them. Glamping combined the best of both worlds: Saeid’s love for camping and the outdoors and Sangeetha's hotel design and branding expertise.
The need to fully remove ourselves from the burdens of life is what Dunya Camp provides. Guests who pack heavily, but end up wearing our robes the entire time they are here begin to understand the importance of slowing down.
