Sleeping in a Tent at Tropical Islands
Yes, you read that right — you can camp indoors at Tropical Islands! We stayed in a glamping-style tent right on the sandy beach inside the dome. It was clean, cozy, and a unique experience our kids absolutely loved.
What’s inside the tent?
- Comfy beds with clean linens
- Small lockable box for valuables
- Electricity and lighting
- Chairs just outside your tent to relax
The sound of the nearby waterfall and the warmth of the tropical air made it feel like we were in Bali or Thailand — not just outside Berlin!
