Sometimes it’s all about the adventure. Sometimes it’s all about the fun and comfort. But why not get the best of both worlds?
Imagine waking up to the sound of ocean waves or the golden sun rising behind mountain range or over a sea of clouds. They are definitely perfect views to start your day, right? You can experience these breath-taking panoramas by going camping. Camping is one of the outdoor activities people prefer to do when they want to take a break away from their busy lives in the metro. However, you don’t have to sacrifice your comfort to be with nature. Have you ever heard of glamping? Glamping is the latest trend that pertains to luxury camping in the Philippines.
Glamping or glamorous camping is a modernized version of a typical camping scene. When you’re glamping you don’t have to pitch a tent, no need to bring your bulky sleeping bags, pack your heavy backpacks, or build a roaring campfire. It is an upgraded version of an outdoor activity that doesn’t compromise your relaxation. While it does take away some parts of the adventure that we are all seeking such as the thrill of going up with heavy backpacks, the sweat and I-don’t-wanna-continue-anymore moments and of course the relief and sense of fulfillment upon reaching the top, glamping allows people to get a taste of what it feels like to be outdoors. Some may say that in glamping is boring, but let’s face the reality: adventure is not for everyone. But that doesn’t mean everyone doesn’t deserve to get a feel of it.
So if you are curious on what this glamping is all about, here are some of the advantages that will surely persuade you to try luxury camping.
COMFORT IN THE MIDST OF NATURE

Very convenient, isn’t it? You can also have a comfortable bed with pillows and blankets. Some glamping sites have the classic banig while others have an airbed and foam. Most of their tents are well-ventilated, too. For those who don’t want to use rain jackets, glamping is also a perfect way to stay dry while enjoying an awesome view of nature.
A LUXURIOUS STAY
When doing an ordinary camping, you have to cook your own food. In glamping resorts, they have a package that includes the complete set of meals. There are also butlers ready to serve you. Meanwhile, other glamping sites also offer facial or foot massages to complete the one-of-a-kind luxury experience. Moreover, many glamping spots have 24-hour maintenance and security services that guarantees your safety and the cleanliness of the camping site. It is like putting up a lavish hotel in the wilderness!
NUMEROUS ACTIVITIES

I have always wanted to go glamping. I heard there are resorts now in the Philippines that offer glamping! I am still planning and reading blogs about it because I want to take my 2-year-old son with me. If I am backpacking, it’s easier. But with a young kid???
Yes, there are a lot of hotels that offers glamping near the metro though it can get really pricey.
