Miami-based Bel Air Resorts Group has proposed a new glamping development in East Buncombe County near Black Mountain in North Carolina, US, reported the Citizen Times.
The development, called Bel Air Asheville, is scheduled to be reviewed by the Board of Adjustments next month, as per county planning documents.
The glamour camping or glamping project is expected to have 89 commercial units on a 104-acre property, with 65 of those units reserved for glamping units.
It will also feature eight on-site employee housing units, spas, a grocery store, a petting zoo, a zen garden, an amphitheatre, a pickleball court, and a community garden.
The proposal for the glamping site features a saltwater pod, a steam pod, three massage pods, and a horse barn.
Chateaux Partners currently owns the land, and Bel Air Resorts Group plans to buy it before final approval and construction.
The land is located near the border of Buncombe and McDowell counties.
A special use permit is sought from the county's Board of Adjustment for the project.
It is a quasi-judicial process where board members determine the application's compliance with current laws, gather evidence, and review ordinance standards.
Bel Air Resorts Group is a real estate and hospitality development company with developments in the Bahamas and Canada, including Bel Air Tremblant.
It has an additional site planned for the Dominican Republic.
Bel Air Tremblant is situated on a 543-acre land in Canada and offers a range of resort-style amenities and onsite activities to residents as well as visitors.
