Sleeping on a moonlit beach while hearing the crashing waves sounds romantic, but not everyone can deal with the hassle of conventional camping. Fret not. If you’re feeling fancy, you can always go the trendy glamping route.

Glamorous camping or “glamping” is basically having all the adventure of camping but with some of the comforts of home—that means no more bringing along your own bed rolls and being constantly worried with some sleep-depriving concerns.  Here’s a round-up of the best glamping sites in the Philippines to get you started with your planning:
