What is a yurt?

A yurt is a traditional dwelling of Mongolian origin, used for centuries by the nomadic peoples of Central Asia. Its round shape is no coincidence: it symbolizes harmony, a close connection with nature, and the flow of energy. Built from natural materials, the yurt is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions while offering surprising comfort.

Today, modern yurts used as tourist accommodations preserve this philosophy while incorporating amenities that meet contemporary expectations. This return to simplicity perfectly aligns with the growing desire among travelers for slow tourism, meaningful experiences, and a deeper reconnection with nature.
