Amazing Escapes - Pacific Domes Geodesic Eco Dome Camp

Amazing Escapes - Pacific Domes Geodesic Eco Dome Camp

After years of experience in the tourism industry, Amazing Escapes Paul Kennes, CEO and Vincent Raisiere, Managing Director… Amazing Escapes has developed a huge network among local operators and hotel brands. To the benefit of Horizons Nouveaux and Amazing Escapes, they track new hotels and experiential travel trends around the world.

Selecting the right camp spot, developing relationships with local communities to guarantee land access, finding reliable local teams are part of the skills Paul and Vincent have acquired through past experiences. Along the way, they have gathered around them an international team of professionals in design, hotel management, food and beverage management, ground operations and infrastructure development, essential for a successful project.

​Since 2008, they've been running major experiential travel events for high profile clients in Morocco, Oman, South East Asia and South America including a joint venture operation with Six Senses Zighy Bay in Musandam Peninsula.

Amazing Escapes also invests in green technologies through a partnership with a French company who's developing self-sufficient water treatment and energy supply systems. The system provides an autonomous private bathroom with running hot water and toilets in every tent, no matter where the camp is.

Inside the geodesic eco domes, made by Pacific Domes, a wooden screen has been mounted to protect the shower area, the ceramic washbasins and the restrooms. Covered in soft beige carpet, the interior felt cozy. A wooden trunk was placed on the side of the bed to host lanterns, while light wooden stools and a small ladder composed a minimalist set-up around the central stove. Te décor naturally embraced the cold outside.

In the central geodesic eco dome, where guests would rejoice over meals and unwind, a long wooden table came enhanced with a line-up of multi-colored Moroccan lanterns, directly attached to the metallic structure.

Around the domes are dozens of oversized hemp cushions stitched with bright threads on the edges were arranged around copper floor-lanterns. A few indigenous plants and bushes, low tables and primitive wooden bowls mixed cultures and influences with style.

Outside the domes are old cactus trunks are intertwined to compose a natural, protective barrier: wooden banquettes and bayadere cushions in bright altiplano hues were placed next to them under a white triangular sail. White against white, the set up was quintessentially perfect.

At midday, the mirage started operating: the domes duplicated in the distance to form a lineup of astronaut helmets or space hubbles.

Later, the sky turned to shades of grey and the solar suddenly looked brownish: by contrast, the Camp had never seemed so quintessentially white. I had to rub my eyes to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. Tis wild, crazy vision I will never forget.

At night, under the moon, the salar became crystal white and the Space Station (aka Camp 4) took another dimension: Star Trek felt at my fingertips. From inside the pods, the iridescent crust shined through, mimicking the strength of the stars. Under them, the domes looked like small telescopes.

In the morning, the sun rose on the bend horizon, irradiating the salty earth with golden hues. Amazing Escapes had definitely crafted a most unique place on the surface of the globe… Leaving the Salar behind the next day at flash-speed, the scenery remained majestic, as vast and pure as a singular ocean of whiteness.

Amazing Escapes Boutique Camps develops and provides turnkey camp solutions for the luxury travel industry. Boasting original designs and unmatched comfort, our camps respect the environment implementing state-of-the-art green technology. Their range of luxury tents suits most grounds and climates.

Geodesic Dome Shelters - H’Ohm Jungle Retreat

There’s no denying the Caribbean cruise vacation is an ecological disaster. Those who decline being herded about as one of a thousand or two others on a cruise liner, can take a bolder path. Increasingly, people turn to ecotourism and to eco-resorts as alternatives.

"Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education." (TIES, 2015). That is the definition of ecotourism, and H’Ohm Jungle Retreat near Cayo, Belize embodies just these principles. Its guests are assured a stay that is both educational and regenerative.

Located along the scenic Hummingbird Highway in the heart of the Belize jungle, H’Ohm offers an affordable eco-vacation with the opportunity to become part of a lasting cooperative community. It opened in 2014 as an eco-retreat with a vision of wellness and sustainability.

Learning by living – interpretation and education

Founders, Louisa Chiaramonte, along with her partner, Sean Horrell, are committed to exploring alternative and natural architecture. H’Ohm offers hands-on building workshops and accepts work/stay vacationers. With the help of an international mix of members and guests, they have etched out a lively mix of accommodations.

Working as a team, 14 collaborators representing all parts of the globe built a hardwood platform and erected the 30-foot geodesic dome that serves as hub of community life. The expansive structure, supplied by Pacific Domes, accommodates varied purposes, transforming from yoga studio, creative arts center and classroom, to meeting space and entertainment venue.

It is a green energy building that performs well in the event of weather extremes. The lofty dome architecture allows warm air to cool at the top. It boasts a large picture window with inspiring mountain views. Healing sounds often resonate within the space from a collection of large quartz crystal bowls.

Recently completed is the large, all pine kitchen. Located at the front of the property, it has benefit of being “on the grid.” Chefs can now enjoy a well-appointed, fully electric kitchen. Generators serve the rest of the property.

Tents are erected spaciously along trails in secluded, yet convenient locations. This arrangement provides an opportunity to immerse in the rich natural surroundings, free of modern distractions. At night, a cacophony of jungle sounds: monkeys, parrots and other wild things hypnotize; while earth’s display of stars, unmasked, casts the sky in opulence.



Permaculture – conserving the environment

Guests of H’Ohm Jungle Retreat learn about permaculture, the philosophical basis that underlie the eco-resort's major decisions and informs its day to day activities. There are several ways to engage. Whether as a guest, seasonal (January through June) or full-time cooperative member, all may experience permaculture tenants directly by living its values.

Not quite glamping, a stay at H’Ohm remains for a hardier set. Development has taken a deliberately slower pace than at first envisioned. “By stepping back, we can adapt organically,” according to Chiaramonte. In doing so, she is acknowledging a core permaculture principle by honoring time as a factor that brings about a stable, more sustainable state.

This authentic, pragmatic approach has seen many victories already. 20 acres have been developed and are now teeming with mature fruit trees and a shifting array of edible foods. Crops, interspersed along trails, constitute an abundant “food forest.” Callaloo, coffee, mangos, plantain, soursop, and citrus are among the harvest that assures sustenance.

The beautiful Maya mountains loom above the large natural clearing that provides nutrient dense grass for the eco-village’s milk cows.


Jungle magic – sustaining well-being

Full immersion in nature is a powerful tool for healing. Finding oneself, like America’s great poet, Walt Whitman, in “a blade of grass” is a mind-altering, quantum experience. Science tells us that such revelations can catapult us toward lasting change where other means have failed. Whether one is adventurous, or merely curious, H’Ohm eco-retreat can facilitate profound healing journeys.

Drawing upon its multi-talented community, a wide spectrum of workshops is offered on a rotating basis. Whether yoga or agriculture, all are in keeping with the H’Ohm mission to enhance the lives of its members and guests, and to impact the broader world with its hopeful story of living in harmony with nature.

An intense, life-enhancing experience is almost guaranteed in the biodiversity of the Stann Creek rainforest. It is the natural habitat of a huge variety of wildlife. Tracks of tapir, deer, and even wildcats are often found along the trails and streams. Toucans, hummingbirds and tropical birds of every sort are encountered regularly. The world’s first jaguar sanctuary is a just day trip away.

H’Ohm eco-retreat has 60 acres replete with meandering paths punctuated by seasonal waterfalls and pools. It becomes a playground for those seeking a deeper experience of nature, themselves and community.

Eco-design principles – drawing on the past to build for the future

H’Ohm will demonstrate and modify traditional and alternative construction methods with an eye toward cost, ecological impact and sustainability. Other buildings are in varied stages of completion. Next in the works is an earthbag dome. This method utilizes resources at hand. The rich clay available on site has been used locally for centuries, and together with white plaster lime paint will create a cheerful, hardy finish to the eco-dome. Participants are signing up now for the January 2017 event.

Those wishing to experience sustainable living in an affordable working vacation have an opportunity to do so. H’Ohm Jungle Retreat is expanding its intentional community, permaculture farm, and volunteer/tourist destination. For more information, contact louisa@h-ohm.bz.
