10 Cool Glamping Spots Around the Philippines

(SPOT.ph) Glamping (a.k.a. "glamorous camping"), a trendy way to experience the great outdoors without having to really rough it out, seems to be getting more and more popular in the recent years. New glamping resorts keep popping up all over the Philippines while older ones are getting on the bandwagon by offering fab tents as accommodation options for the weekend.

These resorts bring you as close to nature as you can get, but with just the right balance of amenities and experiences to give you a taste of adventure aside from a chance to rest and relax.

Just two hours away from Metro Manila, Riverfront Garden Resort is the perfect destination if you’re looking for a quick weekend escape.

North Beach Camp is quite a drive from the city as this resort is located in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. It’s so remote that the camp is powered by solar panels. But that only means you’ll be able to connect with nature even more. They have five glamping huts that can fit up to two people each, but you are allowed to bring your own tents in case you want to round up the whole gang.

You can spend your time right by the water in one of El Dionisio Paraiso’s glamping tents. They’re more straightforward tents than you'd usually see when you go camping, but they’re fitted with mattresses for a more comfortable stay.

Rest your body after a long day of surfing in one of Lampara Siargao’s glamping tents. It’s fully air-conditioned and just a few minutes away from the island’s popular Cloud 9 surf spot.
