The YALA Sunshine 49 is the largest model in the Sunshine collection — a permanent canvas lodge engineered for group accommodation at premium glamping resorts and high-capacity outdoor hospitality destinations.
At 527 sq ft of interior space plus a large covered veranda, the Sunshine 49 sleeps 6–8 guests across two private bedrooms and an additional box bed, with a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom included as standard. Solid wooden beams, galvanized steel connectors, and optional polycotton canvas walls deliver the breathability and structural integrity required for long-term commercial installation across demanding climates. The classic safari silhouette — high roofline, generous proportions, natural materials — creates an immediate sense of place that guests recognize and return to.
Multiple interior configurations allow operators to adapt the layout for extended stays, family groups, or shared retreat experiences. Built to perform season after season with minimal maintenance.
Starting at $28,499 for the base structure. Bespoke interior styling and configuration support through The Luxe Outpost are available upon inquiry.

Care & Use
YALA safari tents are engineered for long-term outdoor durability. To ensure the safety of the structure and maintain your 24-month warranty coverage, please follow these professional maintenance guidelines.
Structural Integrity & Tensioning
• Check Tension Regularly: The stability of a safari tent depends on correct tensioning of the roof and wall canvases. Check these monthly, especially after heavy wind or rain, to prevent water pooling or fabric flapping.
• Frame & Hardware: Periodically ensure all ratchets are locked and that the wooden frame is stable. While natural aging of wood is expected, structural integrity must be monitored.
Moisture & Ventilation
• Prevent Mildew: Moisture is the primary enemy of high-quality canvas. Ensure the tent has adequate ventilation at all times to prevent condensation and mold growth, which are not covered by warranty.
• Winterizing: If the tent is not in use during winter, ensure it is cleaned and bone-dry before closing any protective layers to avoid trapping moisture.
Cleaning & Fabric Care
• PVC Roof Cleaning: The outer PVC roof can be cleaned with lukewarm water and a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use only specialized PVC cleaners; never use high-pressure washers.
• Canvas Walls: Regularly brush off dry dirt from the inner tent canvas. Avoid chemical detergents as they can compromise fire-retardant and waterproof treatments.
• Removal of Debris: Keep the roof free of fallen leaves, branches, or bird droppings to prevent permanent staining or degradation of the material.
Zippers & Hardware
• Smooth Operation: Clean zippers with a soft brush to remove dust or sand. Apply a dry silicone spray periodically to ensure they glide easily without using excessive force.
• Branding: Do not remove or alter YALA branding, as this is a specific condition of your warranty.
Safe Operation
• Wind & Weather: In the event of extreme weather warnings, additional precautions may be required to secure the structure.
• No Modifications: Any unauthorized adjustments or modifications to the tent structure will void the warranty.
