Mt. Matutum DomesVille Glamping

Mt. Matutum DomesVille Glamping is a camping-style stay in Tupi, South Cotabato, in the Philippines, where the accommodation is a set of dome units rather than hotel rooms. The operator calls the domes eccentric and outstanding camping accommodations, designed to offer a high level of comfort in the outdoors.

The domes

The units are geodesic domes, and they are set apart from the activity area. That separation is the selling point for couples who want peace and quiet, since the domes are secluded from the rest of the site. The site speaks of unlimited stargazing for you and your partner. The domes are the main attraction, and only the domes are the niche here: this is a glamping site, not a hotel with a single bubble room.

The setting

From the domes there is an unobstructed view of a fresh pineapple plantation, which gives the stay an agricultural backdrop quite different from a beach or city break. The site is on Sitio Lemblisong Road in Tupi.

Practical notes

The regular rate includes complimentary breakfast for two. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is at 12:00. Bookings are made through the online reservation page.

The stay suits couples who want a quiet, rural night under the sky. Ask the operator how the dome you are offered is set up, including bedding and bathroom arrangements, before you book. Ask too whether the domes are clear enough for stargazing from the bed, as the stargazing promise is central to the stay.
