Stargazing on Safari!
The Lookout Bubble is the latest addition to our luxury short break collection at Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve. Blending in with the landscape, the transparent domes of The Lookout Bubble will immerse you in nature and offer the most spectacular display of the stars overhead from the comfort of your king-sized bed.
Surrounded by nature in a secluded nook at the heart of the Reserve, The Lookout Bubble is a haven for wildlife lovers. Awaken to the dawn chorus of the neighbouring lion pride and take the short walk to your front gate with your morning coffee to greet Hunter, Oudrika and the rest of the pride before the reserve opens to day visitors.
