This is perfect for those who want to enjoy nature’s splendor without parting from the joys of modern technology. If this excites you, we’ve put together a list of 15 glamping resorts all over the Philippines that’ll allow you to reconnect with nature, check them out:

If you want to stray off the beaten path in El Nido, Nacpan Beach Glamping can offer the perfect hideaway for you. Located 22KM north of El Nido, guests can expect a unique, yet luxurious, accommodation by the island’s award-winning beaches. 

You’ll be staying in a massive canvas tent, reminiscent of traditional Mongolian yurts, complete with all the amenities to make sure you sleep soundly at night. From up above, the tents look like gargantuan alien-like pods that blend in seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The property sits on a long stretch of white sand beach so you can bask under the glorious sun or gaze at the sea of stars at night.

Literally nestled on treetops in the jungles of El Nido, The Birdhouse Glamping offers a bird’s eye view of the island paradise below. The Birdhouse Glamping is a small boutique hotel located in Marimegmeg Beach, El Nido that has five luxury suite tents on large stilt platforms that they aptly call “nests.” Each nest overlooks the sea and has all the elements of an exquisite treetop abode.
