Glamping Pods Ireland

If you have been looking for a way to reconnect with the outdoors that combines the genuine experience of being in nature with the comfort and convenience of a proper shelter, our glamping pods may be exactly what you need. Place one of our BRETA glamping pods in your Irish garden and you have everything required for a personal glamping retreat, a unique guest accommodation space, or the foundation of a small glamping business that makes the most of Ireland's exceptional natural setting. Choose from a range of sizes, customise the interior to your taste, and start your outdoor adventure with us.

What is glamping and why does Ireland suit it so well?

Glamping – glamorous camping – provides the escapism and connection with nature that outdoor enthusiasts seek, combined with the comfort and style that makes the experience genuinely enjoyable rather than merely endurable. Ireland's landscape – from the Atlantic coast of Kerry and Galway to the rolling hills of Wicklow and the dramatic scenery of Donegal – provides some of Europe's most spectacular natural settings for glamping. A well-placed BRETA glamping pod in an Irish garden with a view, near the sea, or beside a river can create an experience that guests will travel specifically to enjoy.

The BRETA glamping pod range

All our glamping pods are from the BRETA range – a distinctive family of timber pods with a characteristic rounded roofline, double entrance doors, and natural conifer construction that creates an immediately welcoming and characterful structure. BRETA pods are available in 28 mm and 44 mm wall thickness, in sizes from a compact 3×3 m (9 m²) up to a spacious 4×10 m (40 m²) multi-room structure.

Compact glamping pods (28 mm) – 9 m² to 18 m²

The smaller BRETA models at 3×3 m, 3×4 m, 3×5 m, and 3×6 m in 28 mm construction are practical and affordable glamping pods for personal use or as budget-friendly guest accommodation. The 3×6 m (18 m²) model provides a proper interior space for a bed, some furnishings, and an outdoor terrace experience. These models are ideal for customers who want to add a glamping pod to their garden without a large investment.

Multi-room glamping pods (44 mm) – 24 m² to 40 m²

The larger BRETA models in 44 mm construction are where the glamping pod concept comes into its own. The 4×6 m (24 m²) model features a large living room combining kitchen and lounge space, plus a separate bathroom area. The 4×8 m (32 m²) adds a dedicated bedroom to the mix, available in both standard bedroom and twin bedroom configurations. The flagship 4×10 m (40 m²) model provides a large living room, kitchen, separate bathroom, a single bedroom, and a twin bedroom – everything needed for comfortable multi-night glamping stays by couples or small families, plus a terrace for enjoying the Irish outdoors.

Glamping pods as a business investment

Ireland's growing short-break and glamping tourism market creates a genuine commercial opportunity for Irish property owners with suitable sites. A well-specified 4×8 m or 4×10 m BRETA on a rural or coastal Irish property can generate meaningful nightly income on platforms such as Airbnb. The capital cost of a BRETA pod is substantially lower than purpose-built brick glamping accommodation, making the payback period attractive. Planning permission may be required for commercial rental use – we recommend checking with your local planning authority before pursuing this model. Call us at +35316994541 for general guidance.
