Durability of Yurts: A Low-Maintenance Luxury Solution (And they were Genghis Khan’s favourite)

Durable Yurts

Travellers across the globe are looking for experiences. They are bored of basic hotel rooms and passé luxury tents. To break the monotony, hotel owners have been going above and beyond to curate an experience that surpasses the norms of luxury, something extraordinary! 

What better to cater to your needs than a yurt? An out-of-the-ordinary prefab home that will give travellers an exclusive experience and reduce the blood pressure of the hotel owner too! Its round and voluminous structure offers travellers an experience that transports them from the routine of everyday life. The wooden lattice and uniqueness of the yurt bring a fresh, fulfilling perspective on luxury.

Lastly, who wouldn’t love stargazing through the Yurt’s dome, allowing them to bring the outdoors in? A yurt gives travellers everything they want from a holiday, making it the perfect addition to a hotel or resort in all corners of the world.

Also, It is a highly customisable structure, giving hotel owners the perfect opportunity to create any experience, anywhere.

Durability and Longevity

I have been building yurts for more than 8 years now. What started as a hobby and passion project has now become a passion business. What fascinated me was the physics and the history of the yurts. The physics ensures that yurts weather all the elements and last a lifetime. You can watch this very interesting video here to see the life of a man who has been living in it for the last 14 years.

Benefits of Yurts

Add the history of the yurt to this equation and the entire experience makes it fun and makes you feel that you are living history now! Yurts are the only structure that has seen the test of time, 2500 years and still going strong. This makes it a favourite hospitality product among hoteliers and resort owners across the world. 

Low Maintenance

We also often see hotels and resorts spending large sums towards the maintenance and upkeep of luxury tents. This becomes a tedious burden to the hotel owners and is an expensive chore.

However, The Out Factory has got you covered! With just one pressure wash a month, the Yurt is a steady structure that can thrive in all weather conditions. Zero maintenance luxury- unheard of, I know!

Just in case, you are one of the resort owners or managers, who are looking for a process, you can read this article written by me sometimes back.

The History of yurts is not only a testament to the ease of maintaining them but also to installing them! For decades, Mongolians have resided and continued to reside in yurts, proving they have lasted through the evolution of time.

While luxury tents are quick fixes, a yurt not only provides a fast solution, but a sustainable one as well. Not to mention, Genghis Khan once lived in a Yurt too, making it fit for royalty. Now if that isn’t luxury, what is!

Luxury Tents

Unique Luxury Experience

A yurt smells great, looks great and also feels awesome. Here is why…

  • It smells great because it is well-ventilated with windows and the dome is able to flush out all the hot air. Check out the specifications here
  • Looks great from the inside due to the beautiful lattice pattern and the high ceiling wooden rafters.
  • It feels awesome because it is squeaky clean. The housekeeping spends way less time to clean and air the yurt. More importantly, lying down in the yurt and watching the blue sky is an experience parallel to none.

All the above points ensure that the experience in a yurt is always unique and luxurious

FAQs

Why do yurts last longer than luxury tents?

Yurts generally last longer than luxury tents due to:

  • Maintenance: Yurts are easier to maintain and repair, with replaceable components.
  • Foundation: Yurts often have a permanent foundation, protecting them from moisture and pests.
