Go Glamping at Bluewater Sumilon

GLAMPING
Bringing you even closer to nature, comfortably.



Nature is divine and man has a relationship to it that is connecting, healing, and energizing.  Sumilon Island is the place to explore this special relationship.
The 24-hectare coral island located in southern Cebu is known for its rich biodiversity. Declared as the Philippines’ first marine sanctuary, its reef has a collection of vibrant corals and wildlife that will put snorkelers, budding and expert divers in awe. Its diverging currents from nearby mainland Cebu, Negros and Siquijor islands, bring dolphins, the occasional whale (butanding) and coral sharks. Apart from having a zen-like experience, being in the midst of these creatures provide deeper appreciation of what we have and why we need to protect our resources. 
Beyond the sea, the landscape is just as inspiring. The tiny island has a lagoon teeming with tall mangroves. An adventure trek will offer breathtaking views of the island terrain embraced by the ocean with its varying aquamarine hues. A relaxing walk along the protected forest will reward one with verdant foliage and sweet sounds of indigenous and migrating birds. It is truly “food for the soul”. Nearby is a “Parola” (lighthouse). For the brave, a quick climb can give a 360° aerial view of the neighboring islands. Beside it is a “Baluarte”, a 19th century watchtower used to guard against invading pirates.
Its shifting sandbar and cool blue waters provide a welcome respite from the warm tropical weather.  Not to be missed, the golden sunrise rising from horizon awakens the spirit. As the night sets in and warmed by the ocean breeze and crackling bonfire, one is draped by a canopy of flickering stars and moonlight. 
At Sumilon, all these bring one close to nature. With Glamping, one can even be closer.
Glamorous Camping (Glamping) is Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort’s latest offering to rediscover nature, comfortably. It is a unique escape for couples and a memorable bonding opportunity for high-energy families. Various camping activities provide an opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the island and spend quality time with your loved ones, including island trekking, lagoon fishing, beach combing and stargazing. For the adventurous, one can indulge in snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, paddle boating and sailing.

Glamping is a great alternative to traditional eco-friendly camping. Here, one can still cuddle beside a warm campfire and fall asleep under the stars minus the reality of setting-up your own tent and resting on bumpy ground. The experience offers pre-pitched tents and accessibility. The shelter offers a thin veil between cozy accommodations and the rough outdoors. Inside, there are real beds with mattresses and creature comforts, including closets, minibars and electricity. There are options for campsite dining. A camp assistant is also available to service the guest needs. One can also enjoy the resort amenities such as pavilion theme dinners, spa services and infinity pool. Sumilon Bluewater has special glamping packages, from couples and families to diving groups.
Glamping is a new way for fathers and sons to catch up, couples to find a quiet moment for each other and friends to share interests amidst the backdrop of Sumilon’s natural beauty. 
Get even closer. Go glamping.
