Some say that camping is part of the festival experience – but we’re happy to disagree. While Glastonbury is the UK’s most iconic music festival, and tickets are similar to gold dust, nothing deters us more than the thought of queuing for showers, dirty toilets and leaky tents. And, while no one escapes a trip to a festival Portaloo, for those willing to pay a premium, you can swap the latter for fully-furnished glamping pods fitted with memory-foam mattresses, Egyptian cotton bedding, running hot water and more power sockets than you can shake a stick at. Sound like your type of festival? We’ve scoured the perimeter of Glastonbury’s Worthy Farm to find the best on-site luxury accommodation and external high-end hotels all less than half an hour from the festival, so you can enjoy Glastonbury 2025 in style (and not a baby wipe in sight). 

The Pop-Up Hotel, Worthy Farm

Distance: 10 minute walk from Gate D

If you have reserved roughly £30,000 to splash on Glastonbury, you’ve come to the right place. The Pop-Up Hotel – the brand that’s traversed the breadth and depth of the UK to provide luxury experiences at festivals since 2011 – made headlines with its lavish 10-person Tipi Tenthouse Suite, fetching £28,999 for the five nights of Glastonbury. If that’s slightly out of budget, other accommodation includes the Deluxe Room (a five-metre bell tent that comfortably caters for four people with memory-foam mattresses, mirrors and rugs) and, new for 2025, Pop-Up Retreats offering stays at some of the most beautiful homes in close proximity to the festival with chauffeur and catering options.

This is more than just a place to rest your head. The Pop-Up Hotel is situated just a mile from all of the action, and also includes an array of dining pop-ups, from 20-cover bistros to larger 100-cover restaurants, as well as private guest lounges and receptions with stunning interiors and floral installations. An unheated pool, hot tubs and full-service spas are at your service too. 

From £2,999 for a five-night stay.

Hotel Melody, Shepton Mallet

Distance: Five minute drive to Gates A and D

Situated on the outskirts of Glastonbury Festival, Hotel Melody is the perfect place for those looking for a five-star experience away from the mud and grit of Worthy Farm. One of the newest hotels on the block, Hotel Melody’s inaugural year will see it pack a punch, offering guests premium accommodation alongside a bar, restaurant, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, spa – including massage services, a barber and hairdresser – brunch clubs, and more. 

Accommodation starts with the five-metre Lyrical Lounge, sizeable enough for four guests, and extends to the Symphony Suite: a static lodge featuring two double bedrooms, open plan kitchen, flatscreen TV in every room, and electricity throughout. Hotel Melody’s USP, however, is its chauffeur service, available 24/7 to drop guests into the festival with only five minutes notice, and in five minutes. Those looking to fly into the farm will be pleased with the hotel’s dedicated helipad, and children are also welcome. 

From £115 per person, per night. 

Camp Kerala, Pilton

Distance: 24 minute chauffeur drive

No stranger to the festival circuit, Camp Kerala has been a firm fixture at the likes of Isle of Wight, Silverstone and even Thailand’s Wonderfruit – but Glastonbury is where it really comes alive. Fusing thoughtful accommodation with creative holistic moments, Camp Kerala leans into Glastonbury’s bohemian roots with an array of wellness experiences, including morning yoga sessions, cold plunge baths, piping-hot saunas and even a state-of-the-art gym, ensuring you’re feeling your best before hitting the fields. Two in-house restaurants, one bar and even the option of breakfast in bed will keep you thoroughly satiated, while you won’t even need to leave the camp to get your music fix thanks to resident DJs King Crowney, Ash Rashford and Amir Amor. 

While there’s plenty to entertain, Camp Kerala’s raison d’être is comfortable accommodation. Priding itself on being a sleep sanctuary, all tents – inspired by the safari variety the founder stayed in during a trip to Masai Mara – feature sheepskin rugs, fresh flowers, a king-size bed, duck-down duvets, crisp Egyptian cotton sheets and luxury bathroom products. We love the baby blue-hued Shikar tents, but, new for 2025, you can also book a room at Cockmill Croft Farm and Middle Farm for the ultimate experience. 

From £8,225 for a five-night stay, including festival tickets. 

Love Fields, Shepton Mallet

Distance: Two minute walk from Gate C

The closest independent accommodation to Glastonbury Festival – fringing Gates B and C, and a stone’s throw from the Acoustic and Pyramid stages – Love Fields spans three (you guessed it) fields: Barron Ground, Spring Ground and Leg of Lickle. The latter is the only one which still has availability for 2025, but it’s no less fancy than its neighbours. Accommodation options range from safari tents and Mongolian yurts, to spartan caravans and modern motorhomes, and each booking includes daily breakfast designed to fuel you for the day’s activities. The on-site restaurant also offers an evening menu and even a Sunday lunch, and the panoramic cocktail bar, boasting vistas of the festival beyond, is perfect for both an aperitif and digestif. 

Elsewhere, don’t miss the on-site spa offering hair, beauty and relaxation treatments, the Pamper Parlour featuring mirrors and power for your hair dryers and straighteners, and the Docklands bar and live music stage to get you in the festival mood. Scattered across the site are plenty of benches and fire pits, which make for ideal meeting points if you’re trying to herd a large group into the festival. 

From £8,800 for a five-night stay. 

The Newt in Somerset, Bruton

Distance: 28 minute drive from Worthy Farm

This award-winning hotel has hosted swathes of Londoners looking for a south-west break over the years, and it will definitely be the destination of choice for savvy festival goers who don’t want to skimp on luxury. It’s slightly further away from the action compared to the others on this list and has space only to host a select few, rather than a troop of party-goers in muddy Wellington boots – so book sooner rather than later. 

Listed as one of the World’s 50 Best Hotels in 2023, The Newt is a working country estate with a luxury hotel and spa, a plethora of gardens, restaurants, farm shops and a full recreation of the 4th-century Roman villa which once stood on the site. The hotel is home to 42 individually-designed rooms set across two sites: Hadspen House, the Grade II*-listed Georgian manor house at the heart of the formal gardens, and The Farmyard which offers a laid back, private experience, hidden away in a secluded area of the estate. Sample the garden-to-table menu in the restaurants, as well as botanical treatments in the world-class spa and you’ll be ready to take on whatever the festival throws at you… 

From £875 per night.

Tall Trees Glamping, Coxbridge

Distance: 17 minute drive from Worthy Farm

Privacy and exclusivity are in abundance here as Tall Trees Glamping in the Somerset Levels is home to just four safari-style lodges. Offering a rural escape surrounded by a wild flower meadow and an orchard, each lodge can sleep up to six people and two dogs across the king, twin and double cabin bedrooms. Inside, discover a fully-equipped kitchen, private bathroom, complete with running hot water in the waterfall shower, and a private veranda. The team here has sweated all of the small details, providing everything from soft Egyptian cotton bedding to fluffy white towels, and homemade, prepared meals to a working log burner, so your stay is as comfortable as possible. Who said glamping wasn’t luxurious? 

From £315 for a minimum two-night stay.

Montigo Resorts Somerset at Charlton House, Shepton Mallet

Distance: 14 minute drive from Worthy Farm

Moments away from the rolling hills of Frome, Wells and Glastonbury, this four-star hotel is the perfect country retreat for festival goers uninterested in roughing it. Having welcomed royalty – including the late Duke of Edinburgh and the King of Thailand – book here for a Glastonbury experience that feels more like an up-market holiday than a festival. The Regency-period estate is home to 28 rooms, a spa, three restaurants, and beautiful gardens, including its very own apple orchard. 

For the full luxury experience, we’d recommend booking one of the deluxe rooms, offering offer a blend of luxury and design with walk-in showers and roll-top baths. Fuel for the day ahead at Bobo’s Bistro with delicious, simple dishes from minute-steak ciabatta to an all-day brunch or get in the festival spirit at Tiigo Bar and Grill: a relaxed, al fresco barbecue diner serving fresh meats, fish, and vegetables, paired with fine wines, beers, or locally-produced artisan ciders.

From £165 per night.

Glampville, West Pennard

Distance: 15 minute walk from Gate D

Another nearby luxury hotel is the imaginatively named Glampville – formerly known as Glastotel – which has been operating its glamping experiences on Worthy Farm since 2022. The hassle-free pre-pitched boutique camping site acts as a comfortable haven for you to recharge and refuel, with an array of accommodation options available just 1.5km from Gate D. Couples should opt for the deluxe bell tent for two, featuring high walls, raised beds and power sockets while larger groups will appreciate the space of a classic emperor. Catering for up to seven people, the space is furnished with three-inch mattresses, power sockets, LED lighting and mirrors.

Forget dragging your rucksack for miles and instead drop it off at the concierge desk to find it waiting in your tent when you arrive. We’d also recommend booking the daily breakfast buffet and getting to the Pamper Parlour early to secure your own vanity mirror, hair dryer, straightener and even a vitamin IV drip. Arrive on Wednesday to enjoy a late-night party to kick off the festival, and get your fill of delectable cocktails and live music performances.

From £1,398 for a five-night stay.
