Yurt Sizes

“Love it, absolutely love it. Many thanks to Ratna for her help, and to you and your team for such beautiful craftsmanship. The photos on your site do not do it justice.” Gillian, France

Yurt Size Comparison

Seating and sleeping figures are approximate and depend on the internal layout, furniture and intended use.

A Closer Look at Key Yurt Sizes

These sizes give a useful cross-section of the range, from our smallest practical yurt to one of our largest regular sizes.

Ten Foot Yurts

The 10 foot yurt is our smallest practical size. It works well as a compact guest space, meditation room, garden retreat or seasonal shelter.

This is the size of the yurt, not the specification. A 10 foot yurt can be made as a canvas-only yurt or as an insulated yurt, depending on how you plan to use it.

Sleeps: One to two
Seats: Six

Fifteen Foot Yurts

The 15 foot yurt gives noticeably more room than the smaller sizes while remaining easy to place and manage.

It works well as a guest room, garden room, small studio, retreat space or seasonal accommodation where you want the yurt to feel like a proper room without moving into the larger living and group-use sizes.

Sleeps: Four to five
Seats: Sixteen

Eighteen Foot Yurts

The 18 foot yurt is one of the most useful all-round sizes. It works well for guest accommodation, studios, therapy rooms, retreats and comfortable seasonal living.

It is large enough to feel generous while remaining easier to place and manage than the biggest yurts.

Sleeps: Four to six
Seats: Twenty-two

Twenty-One Foot Yurts

The 21 foot yurt gives a generous interior for living, studio, classroom or retreat use without moving into the very largest sizes.

It is also well suited to yoga spaces, therapy rooms, guest accommodation and small group work.

Sleeps: Seven
Seats: Forty-five

Twenty-Four Foot Yurts

The 24 foot yurt is one of the largest sizes in our regular range. It works well for spacious living, group use, yoga, retreats, classrooms, glamping or generous guest accommodation.

It gives an open and flexible interior with room for furniture, activity areas or larger groups.

Sleeps: Ten
Seats: Sixty

How to Judge the Space

The table is useful, but it is also worth marking out the size you are considering.

Use string, chalk, sawdust, stones or anything simple on the ground to get a practical sense of the footprint.

Allow for access, steps, decking, door openings and enough working space around the outside of the yurt.
