On a 58-acre stretch about 10 miles from Pacific City, safari-style domes and sleek glass cabins sprout from a lushly forested landscape. As you cruise by the quiet shores of Tierra del Mar, you’d miss the coast’s new luxe glamping retreat if you didn’t know to look for it.
Two Capes Lookout sits less than two hours from Portland but feels a world away—one that at first glance features the futuristic galactic dwellings from Star Wars. That is until you step inside. The modern yet woodsy interiors were brought to life by Max Humphrey, a nationally renowned designer and author based in Portland.
With high ceilings and walls of windows, both the domes and cabins feel airy and expansive despite the small footprint. And you’ll find thoughtful accents throughout—from pour-over coffee stations to sustainable, evergreen-patterned blankets from locally owned Seek & Swoon.
As you wander the grounds, you’ll notice the sublime glass cabins are equally enchanting from the outside—with reflective glass walls that augment the surrounding forest and sea. No matter where you slumber, you’ll feel completely immersed in the restorative sound of ocean waves. Get ready to set this glamping spot on repeat all summer long.
MIRROR CABINS
Four sleek mirror cabins sit along a hilltop with mesmerizing ocean views. Each 227-square-foot cabin has a queen bed, luxury linens, a private en-suite bathroom and indulgent heated floors. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows and reflective walls illuminate the ever-changing seascape and windswept trees.
GEODESIC DOMES
Fifteen modish geodesic domes are peppered across the forested property in various sizes, ranging from 294 to 404 square feet. The insulated spaces feature high ceilings, en-suite sinks, luxury bedding and a heater. Shared luxury bath houses are steps away from each dome, and select ones are pet friendly.
AMENITIES
Soak up serene ocean sunsets at one of two community fire areas each evening, s’mores fixings provided. The benches around the fire pits are crafted from upcycled Sitka spruce trees from the property. All cabins and domes also have their own propane fire pit on the patio. Plan ahead to stock your mini fridge, but know that essentials like coffee and tea are provided.
ACTIVITIES
Pack your beach reads—this tranquil retreat is ideal for getting lost in a novel. You can easily access the pristine shores of Tierra del Mar for beach walks. Or drive five minutes to Pacific City to explore tide pools, climb a soaring sand dune or rent kayaks through Nestucca Adventures. Jacobsen Salt Co. is a scenic twenty-five minutes away in Netarts (check for seasonal gift shop hours).
