Just before summer officially ended this year, my friends and I went on a vacation to a place some might mistake for a villa in Bali with its bamboo huts and floating breakfast. But no, this place is just in Cebu (Philippines). It's called Bambusa Glamping Resort. It's a private resort in Moalboal, a beach town in the southern part of Cebu. The entire place only has two bamboo huts, but it can accommodate up to 7 people. There were 5 of us, and we had the whole place to ourselves!
The resort is not located near the crowded beach area, so it's peaceful and secluded, but it can be too secluded. The road to the resort is dark and a bit scary at night. But in the morning, the place is so alive and also laid-back. It has a decent-sized pool and lush plants surrounding the whole property. I was able to do my sunbathing without any disturbances.
In the morning, we were served a tray of breakfast, and the staff put it on the pool and let it float. At the other end of the swimming pool was a lounge area where we could rest and, well, lounge. It had a giant Bluetooth speaker, and the place had strong WiFi. It was made for millennials who sometimes craved some exclusive peace and still wanted to be online to update their followers.
The resort is obviously inspired by the tropical villas in Bali. Tons of these places have sprung up around Cebu. We were lucky to be able to book the place despite the busy days during our trip. I'll blog more about this trip to Moalboal with more details about this place. Be sure to check for that. That's all for now. Cheers!
