10 Airbnbs in Camiguin for Your Dream Island Getaway

Yielded from volcanic eruptions, Camiguin holds the moniker, Island Born of Fire. Having its origins rooted in lava and ash, the province has inevitably borne pristine beaches across its lands. Volcanoes and shores combined, Camiguin has even been deemed a worthy contender to Hawaii. At least, that’s what foreigners have to say about the island.

But beyond its breathtaking topography, the island holds a particular appeal for travellers in the 21st century: It’s teeming with virgin acreage, sprawling with lands ideal for solitary retreats and definite escapes from the hubbub of the city.

In other words, Camiguin is mystifyingly remote and relatively under the radar. These attributes make the properties on the island mostly budget-friendly even as they are paradisiacal. Hard to believe? Let these Airbnb homes in Camiguin speak for themselves.

Airbnb homes in Camiguin to book for your next trip

1. This lofty volcano house perched on a hill

Listing name: Camiguin Volcano Houses – Entire A-Frame House
Listing type: Entire home
Max. no. of guests: 16+
No. of bedrooms: 5

One of the most highly-rated Airbnb properties in Camiguin, this volcano house has received nothing but compliments on the booking platform. Perched atop lush hills, the A-framed mahogany cabin boasts views of both mountain and sea — and of course, the Hibok-Hibok volcano.

Its structure is one of the more non-traditional Airbnbs in Camiguin, but it nevertheless gushes a native charm. Perhaps, this stems from the fact that the whole house brings the outdoors in. Not to mention, the Internet connection and cellular reception here aren’t the best, either. But we’re all for a good digital detox, right? With all the amenities in this house, you’ll most likely forget about your phone, anyway. Learn more about this Airbnb here.

2. This ethereal glamping spot for the ‘gram

Listing name: Bintana Sa Paraiso Dome GLAMPING in Camiguin
Listing type: Private room in dome house
Max. no. of guests: 3
No. of bedrooms: 1

Arguably, the best way to experience nature is through camping out. Minus the inconveniences of that idea, Bintana Sa Paraiso offers a glamping experience that’s almost fairytale-like: pixie lights over the bed frame, shaggy rugs and white throw blankets, colourful floor pillows, and an unbelievably scenic view.

The glamping geodomes look out to an ocean and garden view, making disconnecting from the tumults of life fairly easy. The property also has a garden sprawling with herbs and ferns, which the host uses to prepare healthy meals. Learn more about this Airbnb here.

Perched on Tongatok Cliff with spectacular views of the sea, its surroundings have everything that one needs for a good vacation — including one of the best sunsets on the island.

At the same time, this Airbnb in Camiguin features luxuries one won’t typically find in a basic provincial rental. A few examples: an infinity pool over the water, an espresso machine, and artworks by European and local artists. Learn more about this Airbnb here.
