Sleeping in a yurt – luxurious simplicity in a round space
Sleeping in a yurt is no ordinary overnight stay, but a stay that soothes your senses. At Celestial Living, you enjoy the unique round space, a warm wood stove, a fully equipped kitchen, and a private bathroom. You sleep in a spacious bed and experience comfort, peace, and privacy.
Why does the round room feel so calming?
Sleeping in a yurt is different from staying anywhere else: the round shape, soft lines, and natural materials have a positive effect on body and mind. It is a sensory experience – an experience you really want to have at least once.

What makes sleeping in a yurt so special?
Sleeping in a yurt is no ordinary overnight stay – it is an experience that touches you. You step into a harmonious space without corners or straight walls, and you feel it immediately. The round shape is soothing and creates a sense of security, as if the outside world is pausing for a moment. Far away from the hustle and bustle, close to nature.
Read all about the special features of the three unique yurts from Celestial Living on the page The Yurts .
What is the magic of the circle?
As soon as you step inside the round tent, you feel the difference. Living in a circle has a soothing effect, provides a sense of security, and makes you forget the time. The circle is an incredibly strong form: stable, supportive, and balanced. Our yurts are sturdily built from natural materials, using wood, wool, and canvas. The interplay of lines in the wooden frame creates a dynamic feel while simultaneously working harmoniously.
Symbolically, the circle represents infinity and interconnectedness – exactly what you experience here: warm, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature. Would you like more background on its origins and construction? Read more on the page about The Kyrgyz Yurt .
Hoe prikkelt een yurt je zintuigen?
Your senses are stimulated, but in a pleasant way: the changing light falling through the crown (roof dome), the sound of rain on the roof, or the rustling of the wind against the canvas. Sometimes you hear the call of a pheasant or the chirping of a flock of jackdaws flying overhead. This is how sleeping in a yurt feels like a unique nature experience – intense, pure, and soothing.
Why choose a hotel when you can sleep in a yurt?
This unique form of overnight stay in the Netherlands gives you the feeling of living outside of time for a moment. You have your own space, without people around you, without a dining hall, and without a typical breakfast buffet. Instead: an enveloping, warm space that brings peace. You are completely free to experience the day at your own pace – far away from the daily hustle and bustle, to quietly reconnect with yourself or with each other.
How comfortable is a yurt to sleep in?
Staying in a yurt should be special and comfortable: at Celestial Living, it is both. The interior is thoughtful, stylish, and practical, with attention to detail and ease of use. You experience the simplicity of outdoor living, but with a cozy seating area by the stove, a truly good bed, soft lighting, a fully equipped kitchen, and atmospheric details.
A place where everything is right
Our yurts are furnished with care and attention. It is a balanced mix of simplicity, aesthetics, and functionality. Not extravagant, yet refined. From the tableware to the lighting, from the sustainable cork flooring to the compact kitchenette: everything has been chosen with an eye for both atmosphere and convenience. We often hear it from our guests: 'everything is there and everything is just right'. On the Reviews page, you can read excerpts from our guest books.
The perfect round space for two
You have over thirty square meters at your disposal. And an equally spacious terrace. That is more than enough to move around freely while remaining intimate. In addition to the bed and kitchen, there is also a dining table, storage space, and a seating area with two comfortable armchairs by the wood stove. The mood lighting makes it warm and romantic without becoming 'too much'. And every yurt has its own unique style – so there is something for everyone.
A good bed is not a luxury – it is essential.
Sleeping in a yurt calls for a good bed: this is the place where you truly unwind. The bed is the eye-catcher of the yurt, and we pay a great deal of attention to it. That is why we chose sturdy beds with good mattresses and toppers, made from sustainable materials such as natural latex, wool, and organic cotton. This ensures your yurt stay is not only unique but also exceptionally comfortable. The beds are always beautifully made up with pure linen bedding, matching the style and atmosphere of the yurt.
Why is sleeping under linen so pleasant?
Sleeping under linen is true luxury: natural, breathable, and perfectly suited for sleeping in a yurt. Linen naturally possesses properties that are pleasant for your skin and your sleep rhythm. You will not experience clammy feelings or sweating with linen: it keeps you fresh when it is warm and comfortably warm in cold conditions.
Bedding with a small footprint
At Celestial Living, we use linen bedding because it aligns seamlessly with our vision of sustainability. Linen grows with little water, without pesticides, and flax is cultivated in Europe. Our bedding is made in a small atelier in Portugal, where attention to people and materials comes first. The rich, natural colors are derived from plant extracts – non-toxic and completely safe.
Each yurt is equipped with this 100% linen bedding from Casa Comodo. It is only available for purchase online directly from the company. Everything is packaged plastic-free and transported by road. The colors match the atmosphere and style of the interior beautifully.
Why does Celestial Living choose linen bedding in the yurts?
Linen is not only sustainable, it also has properties that make a difference in your sleeping comfort:
Thermoregulating: cool in summer, warm in winter – linen breathes with you and wicks away moisture without feeling clammy.
Hypoallergenic and antibacterial: dust mites don't stand a chance – a big plus for natural accommodation.
Strong and shape-retaining: it retains its color, hardly wears out, and becomes softer with every wash.
Ironing is not necessary: the characteristic creases give linen its charm – that saves time and energy.
Harmony of color: bedding, kitchen and bathroom linen
Each yurt has its own color theme: Orion is colorful, Sirius radiates in light natural tones, and Venus embraces deep earthy colors. To bring balance and harmony, we coordinate bathrobes, towels, and kitchen linens with the bed linens and the interior colors of the yurt. This way, you experience peace, softness, and cohesion in every yurt – down to the smallest detail.
A fair and comfortable product – a conscious choice for you and for the planet.

What makes the wood stove the essence of yurt life?
The wood stove is the heart of yurt life at Celestial Living. Even though our yurts are double-insulated, you live here with the elements: you feel the weather. For a large part of the year, it is delightful to stoke the stove; it brings warmth and atmosphere. Especially in autumn and winter, the yurt becomes a warm embrace.
The stove as a ritual: simple and safe
When you arrive at the yurt, the stove is ready to be lit and the wood basket is already filled. Inside the yurt, there is a clear manual teaching you how to stoke the fire using the Swiss method: a safe and sustainable way to use the stove. Chopping wood and making a fire are part of yurt life – and before you know it, it becomes a little ritual that you get both skilled at and enjoy.
Warmth, atmosphere, and romance in a round tent
In the evening, the atmosphere is simply enchanting. The round space, the crackling fire, the candlelight, the soft mood lighting, and pleasant music create peace and romance. You sink into the armchair or snuggle together under the blankets in the heavenly bed. Sleeping in a yurt is more than just a stay – it is a romantic experience that will stay with you.

What is the advantage of having your own kitchen in the yurt?
Cooking in your own yurt kitchen gives you freedom: you stay in your own rhythm and don't have to go anywhere. At Celestial Living, the kitchen is compact yet well-equipped for real cooking. You will find an extensive kitchen inventory and all kinds of basic necessities. Everything is there to make it easy for you.
Everything you need is available.
You have every convenience at your fingertips: a four-burner gas stove, a fridge with freezer compartment, running hot water, pans for frying, stewing, and stir-frying, a gooseneck kettle, a whistling kettle, cutting boards, and a well-stocked knife block. Due to the limited power supply, we cannot provide heavy appliances such as an oven or microwave, but there is a toaster and a hand blender.
The tableware and kitchenware have been selected with care – stylish, sturdy, and practical to use. Many guests even say that they discover items they don't even have at home.
We take care of the basics
We like to make things easy for you, which is why the basics are always available: olive oil, salt & pepper, herb mixes & spices, sugar, honey, sweeteners, and cocoa. Delicious coffee and a wide assortment of teas are also available.
You can brew coffee with a French press, percolator, or as a pour-over, and froth milk for a cappuccino or latte. You can easily make tea in a mug, in the beautiful teapot, or turn it into a ritual with the Japanese tea set. Prefer a cold drink? Ice cubes and a wine cooler are already waiting in the freezer.
Koken uit de regio – genieten van lokale lekkernijen
The Achterhoek boasts a rich agricultural past and a thriving present. Farmers and producers work closely together, meaning farm shops often offer a wide range of products from colleagues in the region. Quality and purity come first. In these lovingly curated shops, you will find honest, flavorful products – organically or sustainably grown, with respect for nature, animals, and people.

How does outdoor life around the yurt feel?
Outdoor living is not an 'extra' here, but part of the experience. At Celestial Living, the yurts are situated freely and far apart in the landscape, so you are truly on your own. You live with light, air, and the seasons, with complete privacy and space around you – no prying eyes and no crowds.
Private terrace as extra living space
Your private terrace is spacious and situated directly next to the yurt. It features an enclosed wooden deck with a dining table, parasol, and lounge chairs, along with pots full of plants and flowers for atmosphere and intimacy. You can have breakfast in the morning sun, read a book in the shade, or watch the sky change color over the field in the evening.
Stars and nature sounds
When evening falls, it gets truly dark here. In clear weather, you see the stars so brightly that they seem almost tangible. Would you like to enjoy a fire? Then rent our Petromax Atago: a fire bowl that allows you to safely build a fire on the wooden terrace. And when you lie in bed, you hear only nature: the call of a bird, the shuffling of a hedgehog through the grass, the rustling of the wind, perhaps some rain on the roof.
Showering under the open sky
Showering outdoors… that is the ultimate yurt experience for many guests. And not just in good weather. Showering in frost or rain is often cited as one of the most unique experiences of the stay. The sanitary facilities are private and located directly next to the yurt on the terrace: a wooden shower cabin and a modern eco-friendly dry toilet in a separate cubicle next to it.
In a yurt, you will naturally shift into a lower gear. Enjoying life and living slowly is what it is all about. Read all about slowing down in a yurt on the Slow Living retreat in the Netherlands page.
