With the diverse inaugural lineup announced and tickets are already on sale, Beyond The Valley has now revealed the full pricing details and options for those looking for the VIP camping experience – and they really put the glam in Glamping.
Taking place over New Year’s Eve at the former site of Pyramid Rock on Phillip Island, the organisers had already teased plans for Beyond The Valley’s luxury camping options – such as private restrooms and showers, mini-bars, jacuzzis, breakfast buffets, concierges, hammocks – now the full set of lavish amenities and pricing options has been revealed ahead of going on sale next Monday 1st September.
There are two main camping sites available to choose from; the Lux Camp, located in “the lushest of green fields, with views of rolling hills and the ocean beyond” and Electric City, a separate fully powered camping ground.
A spot for your vehicle or RV campervan in the Electric City will set you back $120 (max 4 per site) allowing you to drive your vehicle right in to the camp and up next to your allocated camping site, along with access to one 240 volt, 10amp source. No more running out of phone battery.
Things get more serious over at Lux Camp. The range of bell tents are described as a “pop-up luxury hotel”, offering a clean escape from the music stages offering lighting, seating, a refillable eski and wine chiller, complimentary toiletries, a coded padlock, power for charging your phone, and “the blissful comfort of 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets on your own double bed.” And it all looks a little something like this…
Bell tents start in the modest 4m squared size from $580 per person (for up to 3 people) through to the giant Tipi Tent (housing 10 people at $215 per camper). Each price also includes a full buffet breakfast, daily housekeeping, and access to all of Lux Camp’s premium amenities. That includes private off site check-in, communal restrooms and showers,24-hour concierge, and a room service menu of “delicious gourmet style food” open until 1am.
Plus, there’s access to a touted VIP bar offering a range of cocktails and alcohol beverages billed as ‘Prescriptions’. Concocted by Australian bar The Collection and Milkfed, the range of drinks offers “slow-cooked soul food to the devilishly evil Snake Venom Martini.”
As if all that wasn’t enough, there’s also the additional option to ‘Pimp Your Tent‘. Whether that’s with apersonal jacuzzi (fits up to 8 people for $699), a ‘Yay Box’ (pictured below), a $75 care package which contains everything from sunscreen, face masks, chill-out points and hot sauce.
You can even pamper yourself with a Room Service massage (starting from $35 for 20 min) to ease your aching bones after you’ve finished going batshit to Peking Duk, Action Bronson, The Preatures, Midnight Juggernauts, and more.
But whether you’re living the VIP high life or simply slumming it attending Beyond The Valley as a general punter, you’ll have access to the Hangover Spa. For $150 you’ll get your bloodshot eyes and temples iced, sip on rehydration fluid, get a facial, foot and shoulder massage, complimentary coconut water, slippers, “20 minutes of hospital grade 100% oxygen to replenish your lazy lungs.” (Hopefully more relaxing than Blue Velvet’s brand of oxygenation!)
Beyond The Valley hopes to draw 10,000 punters and has been previously described as “a shift away from the super festivals of the past to a boutique camping-style offering aiming to tailor to every taste,” by Beyond The Valley Director Nick Greco. “We wanted to do something that was a step above what was already being offered, which I think is something that has been lost with some other festivals,” he says.
On Wednesday, Allday – the new prince of Aussie hip hop – was added to the Beyond The Valley 2014 lineup, joining a bill that features Aussie festival favourites (Pond, The Preatures, Ball Park Music, Rüfüs) alongside an eclectic international selection (Action Bronson, AlunaGeorge, Yumi Zouma, MØ). Organisers have also teased a “second release lineup is on its way.”
