Glamping nowadays is becoming a trend for more relaxed and stress-free camping. Imagine, you don't need to bring you own tent and set it up, then you just lay down on a nice soft bed with fluffy pillows and comforter in it. Plus, you don't worry about the humid atmosphere 'cause you will be comforted by the AC.
What is Glamping
Glamping is a portmanteau of "glamorous" and "camping", and describes a style of camping with amenities and, in some cases, resort-style services not usually associated with "traditional" camping.
What is Dome Glamping
I tried to research on this but nothing specifies the true meaning of dome glamping. However, some sites say that, "Glamping Domes gives you an experience of unusual camping sustainably & comfortably, with ecological domes."
But dome glamping is now taking one-step ahead of the usual glamping. Aside from the luxury of camping at your comfort, dome glamping gives you a different view of the outside. Most of these sites are located in a rural area, covered by trees or facing the sea.
What is Geodesic Dome
Most of them use "geodesic domes" which is a hemispherical thin-shell structure based on a geodesic polyhedron. The triangular elements of the dome are structurally rigid and distribute the structural stress throughout the structure, making geodesic domes able to withstand very heavy loads for their size.
So in this list, I show you the best dome glamping in the Philippines:

Nacpan Beach Glamping
The setting couldn’t be more perfect, with nine huge glamping tents nestled amidst hundreds of palm trees and shrubs and the beach just a stone’s throw away. There are at least 300 palm trees and 3,000 shrubs planted on the one-hectare property, giving guests a tropical feel and ultimate privacy. Completing the postcard setting is the beach itself, just a stone’s throw away from the tents.

The fact that you’re staying in a tent doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice style or size. These are more like traditional Mongolian yurts, but much bigger (as big as a standard double room in most hotels), and fitted with high end interiors including air-conditioning and two five-star quality queen size beds.
