Imagine this: You're standing on top of a mountain, the city far behind you, the air cooler and cleaner than anything you're used to. Around you, the trees sway gently, and the clouds roll just below your feet.
Gaia Datu Villa and Glamping
Gaia Datu Villa and Glamping, tucked in the quiet hills of Upper Binanyo, Antipolo City—a bohemian-style mountain cabin where nature meets comfort.
You book it through Airbnb, and from the moment you arrive, it feels like stepping into a different world—slower, calmer, and definitely more Instagram-worthy.

You drop your bags, kick off your shoes, and let the place welcome you. Everything you need is already here:

Cook, Grill, Eat, Repeat
You’re not just staying here—you’re living here, if only for a weekend. Bring your favorite ingredients, because the kitchen is ready:
- Gas stove, rice maker, hot water kettle
- Complete utensils and dishware

And trust me, nothing hits quite like a hot cup of coffee or a grilled liempo under the stars with friends.

Wild Neighbors and Gentle Reminders
Here’s the fun twist: Gaia Datu isn’t just about the views—it’s also home to some unexpected guests.
You might spot monkeys nearby (watch your snacks and phones!) and a quiet iguana inside its tank. Dogs and cats roam the area, giving the place a homey, lived-in vibe.
But as wild and free as the setting is, the hosts have set some important house rules to keep things smooth and safe:
- π No smoking inside — there’s a smoking area at the parking lot
- 𧻠Do not flush tissue — it could clog the system (₱3,000 penalty!)
- 𧽠Clean as you go — especially in shared kitchen areas
- π Don’t feed or touch the monkeys — they’re cute but sneaky
- π¦ No tapping on the iguana tank
- π Pets allowed, but bring your own food/water bowls and clean up after them
Security, Privacy & Parking
You’ll feel safe here. The place has CCTV cameras installed (outside only), and there’s free parking on site, with additional paid parking if needed.
