UAE Media-Recognized Eco Luxury Accommodation Project Luxeglamp Glass Dome House
Building an Eco-Luxury Camp Without Disturbing Nature
— RAXTENT × Luxeglamp Glass Dome Project in the UAE
Truly meaningful projects are never just about creating beautiful structures.
They are about finding the right balance between design, engineering, environmental responsibility, and real-world execution.
Luxeglamp is exactly such a project.
It all started with one careful inquiry
In 2022, Antony, the founder of LuxeGlamp, contacted RAXTENT for the first time.
He was planning a high-end eco-resort located within a protected mangrove area in the UAE, and was searching for an architectural solution that could offer a distinctive guest experience while minimizing environmental impact during construction.
At the early stage, he inquired about both a 7-meter glass dome and a 20-meter large-span dome.
However, this was never a project that could be decided quickly.
Over the following year, RAXTENT and Antony team carefully reviewed and discussed structural safety, site conditions, logistics and installation methods, regulatory requirements, and long-term operational performance.
Inspiration came from another RAXTENT landmark project
The design concept of Luxeglamp was inspired by one of RAXTENT’s iconic projects —
Memories Aicha Luxury Camp in Jordan.
In 2018, RAXTENT delivered and built 25 units of 6m and 7m glass domes for Aicha Camp.
After its opening in 2019, the camp quickly became internationally recognized as a benchmark luxury desert destination.
This project planted the seed in Antony’s mind that a glass dome resort is not only visually attractive—but commercially and operationally proven.
Before making the decision, he stayed in our domes
In early 2024, before visiting RAXTENT’s factory, Antony and his team traveled to Jordan and personally stayed at Memories Aicha Luxury Camp.
After experiencing the domes in real conditions, he shared with our team:
“The living comfort completely changed my concerns about insulation and thermal performance of glass structures.”
June 2024 – the project officially moved forward
In June 2024, Antony visited RAXTENT’s factory and held in-depth meetings with our engineering and project teams.
Unlike typical resort developments, the site is located within a protected mangrove reserve.
This location imposes extremely strict construction requirements:
minimal ground disturbance
no damage to the ecosystem
environmentally safe and controllable materials
fast, low-impact installation methods
Conventional construction solutions were not suitable for such an environment.
Why RAXTENT glass domes were selected
After multiple technical evaluations, RAXTENT’s modular glass dome system became one of the few solutions capable of meeting environmental approval standards.
RAXTENT glass domes use aerospace-grade aluminum profiles with a lightweight and modular assembly structure, offering high load capacity, excellent corrosion resistance and suitability for humid coastal environments.
All tempered glass used in the project meets certified safety and durability standards for long-term outdoor use.
Solving the most important issue — thermal performance
Thermal insulation had always been Antony’s biggest concern.
Based on real-life experience in Jordan, and technical simulations by RAXTENT engineers, the Luxeglamp project finally adopted:
6 + 12A + 6 mm insulated tempered glass system
To better integrate with the surrounding mangroves and blue lagoon, all domes use blue coated glass:
soft blue reflection that blends into the environment
privacy from outside view
clear panoramic visibility from the interior
A dome designed for real hospitality experience
For interior comfort and privacy, RAXTENT developed a customized triple-layer 360° curtain system, precisely following the dome curvature.
During the day, the domes open into full panoramic viewing spaces.
At night, they transform into quiet, private luxury suites.
This is part of RAXTENT’s mature hospitality-grade dome solution.
Final project configuration
After confirming the functional layout and operational requirements, the final scope of the project was defined as:
1 × 15m glass dome – restaurant and reception hall
1 × 8m wooden glass dome – kitchen facility
10 × 7m glass domes – luxury accommodation units
2 × 6m wood-tone glass domes – sauna and changing facilities
All units use blue insulated glass for a unified visual identity.
After the design was finalized, production began.
During manufacturing and preparation, Antony continued to introduce new functional ideas and detail adjustments based on the overall resort planning.
RAXTENT maintained close communication on structure interfaces, interior preparation and system integration, and continuously optimized solutions according to on-site conditions.
The entire order was successfully completed and delivered in August 2024.
Antony once said:
“This camp will be seen by the world, and it will become one of RAXTENT’s most representative projects.”
A resort quietly emerging among the mangroves
In June 2025, LuxeGlamp officially opened.
Surrounded by mangroves and water, the blue glass domes reflect the changing light throughout the day.
In daylight, the domes appear light and transparent.
At night, they glow softly along the lakeside, like scattered blue crystals.
The architecture does not attempt to dominate the landscape.
Instead, the resort intentionally steps back, allowing nature to remain the main focus.
Recognition from UAE national media
In January this year, Antony shared another update with us —
LuxeGlamp was featured by Khaleej Times, one of the UAE’s national mainstream newspapers.
Less than one year after opening, Luxeglamp has received strong public feedback and recognition for its careful balance between development efficiency and environmental protection within a sensitive ecological setting.
From the first inquiry in 2022, through repeated evaluation and real-life experience, to final implementation, the LuxeGlamp project took nearly three years to complete.
Today, the blue glass domes stand quietly among the mangroves, becoming part of the landscape they were designed to respect.
And for us, it was simply a privilege to accompany this idea, step by step, until it quietly became a real camp among the mangroves.
