If you’re thinking about investing in a campervan and want to maintain the same sophistication that motorhomes offer, you might want to consider something on the higher end of the market. This is where having the best luxury campervan comes into its own.
A desire for plenty of kit and comfort could make you think you have to look at a motorhome when you’re considering the campervan vs motorhome debate. The most luxurious campervans will provide plenty of mod-cons and lounge space, even though some come on the smaller base vehicles (I talk you through the main types in my best vans for converting to a camper guide, if you’re unfamiliar with them).
At the Practical Motorhome Awards 2026, our judging panel has been selecting the standout models across a wide range of categories to help you find the best camper van for you. Here, we’re taking a look at the high-end options of the campervan market, as we share our top picks on the market for the upcoming season, as well as the standout options from last year.
This time, we selected the Mega Mobil Mega Lounge 680S Twin as the most luxurious campervan for the 2026 season. We really like the impressive build quality and spacious interior it offers users. Read on to see exactly what we made of it and the other contenders at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2025 and 2024, including models from Auto-Sleeper, Mobilvetta and Bailey.

The best luxury campervan:
Mega Mobil Mega Lounge 680S Twin
- Base vehicle: MAN TGE
- Price: from £88,702
- Berths: 2
- Belts: 2
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- MIRO: 3150kg
- Payload: 350kg
- Length: 6.84m
- Width: 1.99m
Reason to buy:
- Spacious lounge, great build quality
Reason to avoid:
- It will only ever have two seats
The best luxury campervan at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2026
Mega Mobil had already brought out a four-berth version of this van, with two travel seats in the back. But, following customer feedback, and being conscious that most of its customers are couples looking for adventure, this season it has brought out a new version with those two travel seats taken out and replaced with a large side washroom that includes a separate shower cubicle.
You still get a huge and comfy rear lounge that converts very easily into a double bed – all in a van that is no longer than 6.8m.
As it sits on a rugged MAN TGE chassis, you can easily opt for the 4×4 driveshaft here. Choosing it doesn’t make a great deal of difference to internal headroom, which remains impressive throughout, although it will add to the price.
Together with diesel heating and the Freedom Pack which adds all sorts of goodies designed to make off-grid campervanning easier, this is likely to make the final price nearer to £115,000. But marvel too at the build quality here: we have rarely seen soft-close drawers this soft in a campervan.
Laika Kosmo 60 Supremo
- Base vehicle: Fiat Ducato
- Price: £71,800
- Berths: 2
- Belts: 4
- MTPLM: 3500
- MIRO: 2968
- Payload: 532kg
- Length: 5.99m
- Width: 2.05m
Reason to buy:
- Great Italian style
Reason to avoid:
- Only one choice of layout
Highly commended at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2026
Don’t be fooled by the (relatively) low price: the Kosmo Supremo may be a sporty version of Laika’s “entry level” Kosmo range, but it comes with oodles of Italian style that make it look a lot more luxurious than that sounds.
For starters, it is available in three different colour schemes, both outside and inside. There’s Verde Mugello (forest green on the outside, brown vegan leather upholstery inside), Azzuro Capri (grey blue on the outside, with orange upholstery) and Arancio Sicilio (burnt orange on the outside with ash grey inside). The lighting scheme inside the van is a lot more sophisticated than you would usually see in a campervan at this price, too.
Plus, there’s all the extra spec, including 18-inch alloy wheels, Fiat’s 180bhp engine as standard, a Pioneer multimedia system with Apple Car Play/Android Auto and a rear view camera, adaptive cruise control that makes UK motorway driving so easy, and cab blinds.
The van itself is heated with 6kW Truma heating (which should make winter campervanning much more appealing), and although you only get one choice of layout with a transverse bed, the washroom features a classy porthole window and a partition you can swing over to reveal a shower.
Westfalia Jules Verne
- Base vehicle: Mercedes Vito II
- Price: from £64.590
- Berths: 2 (optional 4)
- Belts: 4
- MTPLM: 3000kg
- MIRO: 2400kg
- Payload: 600kg
- Length: 5.14m
- Width: 2.24m
Reason to buy:
- Great luxurious style
Reason to avoid:
- As with many German brands, the prices quickly starts to rise up once you start adding optional extras you may think are essential
Highly commended at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2026
Westfalia, the company that actually makes the Ford Nugget, has always positioned itself at the luxury end of the campervan market. This update of its Mercedes Vito-based campervan means it is likely to stay that way. The Jules Verne was already quite a classy number to arrive in.
For 2026 the German company has updated it so that it now comes with a wireless phone charger, a digital rearview mirror, Airmatic suspension, a heated steering wheel, and alarm and a winter pack that includes a heated windshield washer and heated seats.
You already get the benefit of a rear kitchen and washroom, all in a vehicle that is only 5.14m, and, if you go for the optional tinted windows, snooty people might not even realise it is a campervan, especially given the three-cornered star on the front.
Malibu Genius 641 LE
- Base vehicle: Mercedes Sprinter
- Year: 2025
- Berths: 2
- Belts: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- MIRO: 2946kg
- Payload: 192kg
- Length: 6.40m
- Width: 2.02m
Reason to buy:
- Well thought out design
Reason to avoid:
- Once you include extras, the final price could be well above the starting price
Last year’s winner is an incredibly luxurious campervan, partly because it almost isn’t a campervan. When the company came to designing its first ever van conversion based on a Mercedes Sprinter, it found it couldn’t fit everything it wanted to include for its Comfort spec level within the Sprinter’s 5.93m length. So it designed its own rear extension to the van, matching the base vehicle’s beading, to take the overall length to 6.40m.
Those extra 47cm give the van a huge amount of storage space. Optional extras include a bike rack you can use to store bikes in the back.
Yet inside it is very much like what you may have been used to if you know Malibu. In the washroom, for example, the basin folds away and the toilet slides away to create a full size shower cubicle, while the washroom door swings out to divide the rear bedroom from the front lounge, almost creating a separate room.

Hymer Grand Canyon S CrossOver
- Base vehicle: Mercedes Sprinter AWD
- Year: 2025
- Berths: 2
- Belts: 4
- MTPLM: 3880kg
- MIRO: 3194kg
- Payload: 351kg
- Length: 5.93m
- Width: 2.06m
Reason to buy:
- It’s the ultimate expedition van
Reason to avoid:
- It’s the ultimate price too
Hymer seemed to have decided last year to focus big time on offroad versions of existing vehicles. So in low profile motorhomes the MLT 750 CrossOver version. And so here does the Hymer Grand Canyon S, already a popular model within Hymer’s campervan range. This all-wheel-drive vehicle comes with four 80Ah lithium batteries, a 95W solar panel and a 1300W inverter, so you should have all the support you need for an off-grid campervan adventure.
An LED light bar above the windscreen should increase your capacity to see ahead in the dark too. The van also includes a fresh water filter, and a second cassette toilet (make sure you know how to empty a cassette toilet), while heating comes courtesy of a 6kW diesel heater rather than gas.
Inside you will find the usual Hymer attention to detail in a transverse bed layout with a pop-top roof.
Mobilvetta Admiral K6.3
- Base vehicle: Fiat Ducato
- Year: 2025
- Berths: 2
- Belts: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- MIRO: 3124kg
- Payload: 376kg
- Length: 6.36m
- Width: 2.05m
Reason to buy:
- Great Italian style
Reason to avoid:
- Not for those who don’t like bling
Highly commended at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2025
Mobilvetta’s first ever campervan, which was released last year, bears all the hallmarks you might have come to expect from the Italian brand that is well known for designing its A-class motorhomes like luxury yachts.
Inside this Fiat-based van with fixed single beds at the rear you will find plenty of polished woodwork and high gloss white furniture finishes. There are also clever little touches such as a clip-on dinette table which folds forward to make it easier for whoever is sitting in the travel seats at the back to get in and out. The table includes a useful tray for holding drinks while on the move.
There’s also a clever worktop in the kitchen that slides over the square sink when you don’t need it – very tidy. And the washroom, complete with huge mirrors, wouldn’t look out of place in a boutique hotel.

Auto-Sleeper M-Star
- Year: 2024
- Berths: 2
- MTPLM: 3880kg (est)
- MiRO: TBC
- Payload: 480kg (est)
- Length: 7.1m
- Width: 2.02m
Reasons to buy:
- It’s the highest spec campervan ever produced by a UK manufacturer
Reasons to avoid:
- You might find the shiny grey interior not to your liking
An Auto-Sleeper camper priced at £125,000 upon its release? Yes, but what a ‘van this is from a brand you’re probably more familiar for being among the best motorhome manufacturers. It may cost the same as some A-class motorhomes, but this Mercedes-based model, which took the title at last year’s Practical Motorhome Awards, is packed with kit and comfort. That’s evidenced by the fact that there’s no real options list to speak of: everything you could possibly want has already been added.
That includes leather upholstery, an onboard gas tank, a solar panel, a 100Ah lithium leisure battery, Alde wet central heating, a 157-litre Dometic fridge, Truma habitation air-con, an external BBQ point, a Thule roll-out awning… the list goes on.
The thoughtful layout includes a pair of long, comfortable, facing sofas at the rear, and a washroom tucked away on the offside. The kitchen is fantastic, with two lift-up flaps to expand the worktop.
Then, of course, there’s the Mercedes Sprinter base vehicle, which features all of the bells and whistles you could wish for. This really is a luxurious campervan.

Bailey Endeavour B62
- Year: 2024
- Berths: 2
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- MIRO: 2873kg
- Payload: 627kg
- Length: 5.99m
- Width: 2.50m
Reasons to buy:
- Bailey has an established name, and this will have been designed with the UK in mind
Reasons to avoid:
- Double bed needs making up each night
This luxurious campervan launched in the 2024 season with a great spec, including an awning, a reversing camera and an auto gearbox, all coming as standard. Bailey worked with Ford Pro to design this high top vehicle, and it was tested out in the rugged Moroccan Sahara.
The Endeavour includes a U-shaped rear lounge that, despite the van only having an overall length of 5.98m, can still be made into two single beds both of which are 6ft 3in long. However, we did find that while the end result may be comfortable, turning these into a double was a bit of an effort.
The kitchen extension may jut into the lounge a bit but we like how this means the three-burner hob is out of the way of any breeze. As well as this, it comes with a combined oven and grill, plus three mains sockets and a half-height fridge. The washroom was surprisingly spacious when it came to headroom too, and we always like to see two drainage holes.
The cosy-looking interior with upholstery that is oatmeal for the most part but contrasting blue around the sides, should be familiar to anyone who has seen the Bristol company’s more budget prices caravans recently. It certainly makes for a funky look.

Yucon K-Peak 7.0
- Year: 2024
- Berths: 2/4
- MTPLM: 4100kg
- MiRO: 3500kg
- Payload: 600kg
- Length: 6.97m
- Width: 2.02m
Reasons to buy:
- A really rugged performer with a luxury heritage behind it
Reasons to avoid:
- The overhead lockers make bed headroom a bit of a challenge
Yucon is Frankla’s van conversion range, now finally available in the UK. Given that it is Frankia, you would probably expect something luxurious. But the K-Peak is something just that little bit more, however, because it is a special edition built on a 4×4 Mercedes Sprinter and so designed for the ultimate off-road trip.
The 7.0 is also the most convincing layout of the three in the range, as it includes a decent size kitchen with plenty of storage space and two fixed single beds that are long enough to accommodate almost everyone. Attention to detail also marks this vehicle out.
The perfectly spacious washroom, for example, includes two drainage holes – which should prove useful if you end up parked somewhere that is hardly level. And the extra LED lighting above the windscreen should help guide you along those dark forest trails.

Malibu Comfort 640 LE family-for-4
- Year: 2024
- Berths: 4
- MTPLML 3500kg
- MIRO: 2935
- Payload: 565kg
- Length: 6.36m
- Width: 2.05m
Reasons to buy:
- Carthago build quality in a van conversion for families that now has a rising roof
Reasons to avoid:
- Watch those optional extras – they add up quickly.
Malibu van conversions have always had a reputation for build quality and luxury (often reflected in the enormous list of optional features attached to each van, which can bump the price up to considerably above what is listed here).
While much of its offer is aimed at couples, this year it has extended opportunities for families by making this fixed single beds model come with a family-for-4 option. Technically this just means a rising roof, only it is not just any old rising roof.
It is one Carthago, which owns Malibu, has designed in-house to the same quality principles that have made it a byword for luxury and quality. These roofs are now being produced at its sleek new factory in Ormoz in Slovenia.
