What are glamping domes called?
The most common type of glamping dome we see is the geodesic dome tent, also known as a geodome tent. This type of glamping dome is characterized by its triangular structure, which not only looks impressive but also ensures long-term stability. If we go by appearance, transparent glamping domes can be called clear dome tents or bubble dome tents, while oval-shaped glamping domes are known as oval dome tents or elliptical dome tents.
In terms of materials, glamping domes made primarily of glass are called glass dome tents. Most fabric glamping domes are made from PVC and are referred to as PVC dome tents. Polycarbonate domes, made from the newer polycarbonate material, are often called polycarbonate dome tents or simply PC dome tents.

Glamping domes provide a safe and weatherproof shelter in any climate condition. These clever geometries are designed to be used all year round, thanks to their high-quality build and materials. For more details on the safety features of glamping domes, check out our comprehensive guide on glamping dome safety.
High-quality domes from reliable suppliers can withstand strong winds, heavy snow, and even earthquakes. From a security standpoint, well-built glamping domes use tear-resistant fabrics, shatterproof glass, or polycarbonate materials, providing a strong and impenetrable shell. They also feature sturdy lockable metal doors or electronic smart locks and alarm systems, ensuring extra safety for the occupants.
Choosing a high-quality luxury glamping dome means you'll have reliable protection against both natural and human-made challenges.
How much is a glamping dome?
The cost of a glamping dome can vary significantly based on several factors such as size, materials, location, design complexity, and additional features. Generally, smaller, basic glamping domes without extensive customization start around $3,000 to $15,000. Larger or more customized domes made with high-end materials and features can cost several hundred thousand dollars or more.
For example, geodesic dome tents, the classic luxury glamping domes, range from $153 to $397 per square meter ($14 to $37 per square foot). Glass domes require advanced manufacturing and heavier transport, making them 7-8 times more expensive than prefabricated PVC domes. Meanwhile, polycarbonate (PC) domes are lighter and simpler to manufacture than glass but cost about three times more than PVC domes.
It's important to consider your specific requirements and consult with builders or suppliers to get an accurate cost estimate tailored to your needs. If you want to know more about the details of the cost of glamping domes, feel free to reach out to us anytime.
