Escape Nomade has been around for over 20 years. Our presence can be seen via hospitality projects in 55+ countries in all climates. Please check our portfolio here for our highlight projects in different locations.

Escape Nomade is trademarked and headquartered in Indonesia. It was founded by Anneke Van Waesberghe, a Dutch designer who wanted to prove that each of us could help solve our pressing environmental problems through our life choices by building a Tented sanctuary. As many people showed interest in her work, she partnered with Ueli Wick, a Swiss ex-banker and now the CEO of Escape Nomade, to commercialize the product.

Materials

Our Tent structure is prefabricated and modular galvanized steel poles with 2 additional marine paint coatings applied to increase anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties. The bamboo covers are for decorative purposes.

Our signature wall is made of canvas with three layers, giving it self-cleaning, waterproof, and insulated properties. We also offer other canvas combinations, including canvas with a mosquito net and canvas with a plastic shield for rain protection, etc.

Additionally, we provide wall materials such as composite, teak wood, and glass. If you prefer materials beyond our offerings, such as brick or concrete, you are welcome to manage those on your own.

We offer composite and teak wood materials. If you prefer options like concrete, tiles, or other materials, we welcome you to manage those according to your preferences.

Since the first installation, the structure is meant to last 25+ years while walls, roofs, doors, and other Tent parts are expected to live 6-8+ years with replaceability. The number of years is subject to microclimate and maintenance quality. We offer parts for sale and a maintenance service on demand.

We source materials for different parts of our Tents from the best suppliers around the world such as France, Spain, Japan, Indonesia, etc. We have our factories in Banyuwangi, Indonesia, where the making of our Tents takes place.

The steel poles used for our structure are lead-free while other parts of our Tents are eco-friendly. For example, composite walls and flooring are made of recycled plastic and teak wood dust left over from our furniture making. Our canvas is upcyclable; the leftover canvas has been used to create raincoats and tote bags. Moreover, the concept of installing our Tents is eco-friendly as it involves very minimal ground impact with the Concrete Point Foundation system.

The installation of our Tents is easy and quick. Before installation, you will need to prepare the foundation according to your project location. This could involve elevating the Tent on a platform for hilly areas or using the Concrete Point Foundation system for ground-level installation. Both methods are environmentally friendly, minimizing ground disturbance, emissions, and noise.

Our Tent grid system is 2.5 m, starting from 2.5 m to 15 m. It means width and length can be extended by every 2.5 m until it reaches 15 m (the maximum size ends at 10 x 15 m).

Our Tents can be as durable as concrete buildings. It can withstand the wind speed up to 170+ km/hr with some protocols applied; therefore, they can be located in storm-prone locations and harsh weather such as snow or desert.

You can consider adding another unit to increase the size to your requirement,instead. For example, if you would like a 250 sqm Restaurant Tent, you can have one 10 x 10 m and another 10 x 15 m placed next to each other. We completed the Hemingway Wedding Venue for Bali Beach Glamping by combining 4 Tents to make a 250+ sqm elegant venue.

Our Tents are classified as a semi-permanent structure; meaning they can be uninstalled and relocated if you wish. However, they aren’t meant to be moved on a daily or weekly basis because of the fixed MEP and foundation systems.

It is possible we can customize our Tent structure to allow more flexibility. Please consult our architect team for more details.

Post Tent Delivery
We will have our installation team guide your local worker team to install the Tents. 1 Tent takes 3-5 days to complete, depending on the Tent size and the number of your local worker team.

Maintenance

Consider cleaning our Tents with the same schedule and procedure as you would clean your concrete house or building.

  • Daily cleaning involves sweeping, dusting, and ventilating the room.
  • Weekly cleaning involves deep vacuuming, mopping the floor, and inspecting stains on the exterior canvas.
    If there is a stain, please quickly clean it as soon as possible by following our instructions in the manual.
  • Monthly or quarterly cleaning involves deep cleaning on the canvas and roof.
  • After 6-8 years+, a consideration to replace parts and furniture is needed.
  • After 25 years+, a consideration to replace the structure may be needed.

The concept of replacing parts is very simple and quick; just take it off and put a new one on. It may take just a few hours, so don’t worry about closing the Tent for a day or more for maintenance.

We can send our maintenance team to manage deep cleaning, fixing our Tents, replacing parts, and conducting maintenance training anywhere in the world.
