Glamping (“glamorous camping”) in the Philippines means sleeping in furnished tents, domes or cabins in nature, with real beds and often private bathrooms, air-conditioning or meals. The most popular site is Nacpan Beach Glamping in El Nido, Palawan. Near Manila, try Domescape in Nasugbu or Nayomi Sanctuary above Taal Lake in Batangas, or Ten Cents to Heaven in Tanay, Rizal. In Mindanao, Ultra Winds Mountain Resort in Bukidnon has cool highland air. Rates range from about ₱2,000 for simple tents to ₱8,000+ a night for luxury domes, and the best season is the dry months, roughly December to May.
Pair your glamping stay with island hopping or a day tour nearby.
