Meet Robet Ananya's GlamperVan 2026, the "world's first GlamperVan," built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and outfitted as a boutique apartment. It's coming to market in January 2026 in a limited edition of five Founders' Editions - with a price tag to match. Get ready.
Slovenian specialist for converting vans into motorhomes Robeta claims that the Ananya is not just another luxury Sprinter conversion, but the first true GlamperVan – a vehicle designed around real people’s lifestyles and then engineered for driving. The Robeta Ananya GlamperVan 2026 model will debut in January 2026 as the first in the new Ananya series, with the inaugural Founders’ Edition limited to five units at €255,000 (≈ $295,000).
Robeta has a proven track record of excess – their 740cm Schumacher Edition model featured yacht-style furnishings, a multi-extendable floating queen bed and a 1,000-watt JL Audio system. Ananya maintains a sense of high-end hospitality but ditches the “nightclub” aesthetic.
Living room, not a van bench
The driver's cabin is visually separated from the living area, which is designed as a real living room. The L-shaped seating area has two deep sections, almost 2.01 m long and 78.7 cm deep – this is real sit-and-stretch furniture, not just a thin cushion. A MebloJOGI Travel F 24 double mattress is lowered above it when it's time to sleep. An apartment feeling. On wheels.
Opposite the long line of windows is a central cupboard with a TinyWash washer-dryer combination – a rarity in vans of this size. Capacity: up to 3.3 kg washing, 1.5 kg drying, 17-litre drum.
Kitchen for real cooking
The kitchen of the Robeta Ananya GlamperVan 2026 is designed to be homely: extensive Corian surfaces, a Bora Classic hob with two gas burners and automatic re-ignition, a gas oven/grill and a 130-litre fridge/freezer. This is not a camping imitation, but a set for a real dinner.
A bathroom that divides opinions
The main talking point: the open, curtained wet-bath bathroom in the rear passenger corner. It still offers a solid wood vanity, stone-inlaid floors, microcement walls, a shower, and a marinated, crushing toilet—but no hard door. Beautiful, yes. Traditionalists will shake their heads.
As New Atlas points out, this design trades closure for a sense of spaciousness and flow – some will be thrilled, others will see a loss of privacy. That's the risk of pioneering.
Off-grid autonomy and silent power
Ananya aims for six days of full autonomy, thanks to the EcoFlow 48-V system with a capacity of 10 kWh and the possibility of adding batteries, supported by two 450-watt solar panels (total 900 W). The fresh water tank measures 160 liters, and the fuel tank has been increased to 151 liters. Heating and hot water are provided by a Webasto Hybrid with a power of 7 kW (~23,885 BTU/h).
For connectivity, there's Starlink internet, a Bang & Olufsen Beosound Stage soundbar with Dolby Atmos, and a mobile signal booster. A quiet luxury that you can hear—or not.
Sky window and other special features
Robeta is considering a flat, darkly tinted lift-up "Skywindow" above the living/sleeping area. Maybe it will go into series production, maybe it will remain a concept. In any case, stargazing from the couch is exactly the hedonism that the word "glampervan" promises.
Chassis, dimensions and technical data
Base: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter AWD, according to several media reports the model SELECT 419 CDI 4×4 Long. Dimensions: length 6.97 m, height 2.66 m. Maximum permissible weight 4,100 kg with a payload of approximately 1,362 kg and with three seats. Robeta will also offer off-road upgrades – from the Van Compass lift to the Agile Offroad 50:50 transfer case, ARB rear differential lock and underbody protection.
Made by those who know how to do "excessive"
The Schumacher Edition – priced at over €303,000 – proved that Robeta can bring a yacht feel to a van: chrome trim, a wine cabinet, a humidor and a 1,000-watt multi-zone JL Audio system. Ananya swaps the nightclub for a warmer, more livable space. Progress.
Weight savings where it matters
Beneath the premium surfaces are PET foam panels instead of plywood (saving up to 196 kg) and an aircraft-grade aluminum construction. The central cabinet alone offers approximately 204 liters of storage space – plus TinyWash. This is functional luxury, not just a shiny facade.
Conclusion: an argument on wheels that you would like to live in
Robeta Ananya GlamperVan 2026 is the best kind of exaggeration: a Slovenian glamper apartment with the ergonomics of a real home, serious off-grid autonomy, and technology that turns remote work into a joke at the expense of an office lease. The open bathroom will divide opinions – some will call it a relaxation corner, others a sign of a slip of common sense. Everything else – a living room for people, not pillows, a kitchen for real culinary feats, 48-V power with 900W of solar energy, Starlink and B&O luxury – together make a compelling case for the van life without sacrifices. The price of 255,000 euros for the first five Founders' Editions is astronomical, but in this particular segment (think yacht luxury in a smaller format) it is precisely justified. Deliveries start in January 2026 - we will keep an eye on whether the Skywindow will go into series production and whether the bathroom debate will give birth to a solid-walled version. Anyway, the Robeta Ananya is not just a motorhome - it is a manifesto for how motorhomes should feel on the road.
