SUMMER is always SPECIAL for me. Especially when spent with an extraordinary activity out of your daily routine and the usual simple or corporate living. It's not summer all year round that's why it should be savoured uniquely, that is if you have not started spending special summer yet :)
Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort, A ZEN-inspired Island Resort South of Cebu, recently offers their GLAMPING activity, short for Glamorous Camping. A new Camping option, glamping provides the experience of the great outdoors but enjoying the amenities never experienced before in traditional camping. Seeing this field of opportunity, Bluewater Resorts aims to be the first to provide this luxurious adventure to the Cebuano in particular and to the Filipino in general.
