This is Part 2 of our 3 part series. If you missed the first post outlining the hike up to the property check out Part 1 here. You’ve made it on your 7 x 7-meter platform, turned around to see the view, and now you are in anticipation of opening up the zippers for the big reveal. People come for two main reasons, one for the view, and second for the glamping experience of sleeping in a tent. Now that you’ve seen the view let’s peek the nest. You’ve got either a ton of luggage or less weight in the form of less weight in the form of a simple backpack, but either way, the moment you step inside, the effort of the climb instantly vanishes. Welcome to Glamping in El Nido Part 2, where we transition from the rugged jungle trail to the refined comfort of your private sanctuary. This isn’t just a tent; it is a meticulously designed space known as The Nest of The Birdhouse, and it’s about to redefine your expectations of outdoor living.
As you pull back the heavy-duty zippers, the first thing that strikes you is the sheer scale of the interior. The Nest of The Birdhouse is airy, spacious, and surprisingly cool, thanks to the natural ventilation of its high-perched location. You are greeted by a king-sized bed adorned with high-quality linens, soft pillows, and a mosquito net that drapes elegantly like a canopy. It’s the kind of comfort you’d expect from a luxury hotel, yet the canvas walls remind you that you are still intimately connected to the Palawan wilderness.
The interior decor is a masterclass in tropical minimalism. Local craftsmanship takes center stage, featuring woven rattan furniture, warm wooden accents, and thoughtful touches that reflect the spirit of El Nido. In this second installment of our Glamping in El Nido Part 2 series, we highlight the “luxury” in glamping—from the dedicated coffee nook for your morning brew to the solar-powered lighting that creates a golden glow as the sun dips below the horizon.
One of the most enchanting features of The Nest of The Birdhouse is the way it blurs the line between indoors and out. With the flaps open, your living room is essentially the Bacuit Bay itself. You can lounge on the plush floor cushions with a book in hand, feeling the sea breeze move through the tent, while the sounds of the jungle provide a natural soundtrack that no white-noise machine could ever replicate.
Privacy is paramount here. Even though you are elevated on a platform, the clever positioning of each Nest ensures that your experience remains personal and secluded. It is this balance of exclusivity and immersion that makes The Nest of The Birdhouse the crown jewel of the property. You aren’t just staying in a room; you are inhabiting a luxury viewpoint designed for deep relaxation and reflection.
As evening approaches, the transformation of the space is magical. The Nest becomes a cozy lantern-lit cocoon, protected from the elements but open to the stars. Stay tuned for the final chapter of our journey, but for now, take a deep breath and settle into the finest Glamping in El Nido Part 2 experience. The birds are chirping, the bed is calling, and the most peaceful sleep of your life is just a zipper-close away.
