About The Opal

The Opal Tent is conceived as a grand luxury glamping retreat, bringing together the vastness of space with refined design. Featuring two spacious bedrooms, a shared central lounge, and a sweeping verandah projection, it creates the perfect harmony between privacy and community living. Guests can retreat into their private quarters, gather in the lounge, or enjoy the expansive outdoors with unmatched ease.

Designed for scale and elegance, the Opal Tent offers a carpet area of 63'6" × 38'6" (2,445 sq. ft.), a built-up footprint of 69'7" × 44'6" (3,096 sq. ft.), and a super built-up span of 76'1" × 50'8" (3,855 sq. ft.). Each of the two bedrooms measures 20' × 19'2", complemented by a generous bathroom of 12' × 10'2" and a well-planned shared lounge of 18'1" × 18'11". The projection area of 71'9" × 46'6" extends the tent into the landscape, creating a perfect platform for verandah seating, outdoor dining, or open-air relaxation. Structural highlights include 8' sidewall height, along with 7' door and window heights, ensuring balanced proportions and a spacious feel throughout.

The Opal Tent is engineered with durable structural frames and premium finishes, designed to perform in varied climates while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. Its multi-layered roofing system provides effective insulation and weather protection, while the thoughtful layout ensures both comfort and functionality.

Perfect for luxury resorts, eco-retreats, and boutique hospitality projects, the Opal Tent redefines large-format glamping living. Spacious, versatile, and timeless in design, it offers an unparalleled setting for families, groups, or long-stay guests seeking an elevated connection with nature.
