Have you ever dreamed of sleeping under the stars in a cozy and comfortable dome? If so, you might want to check out Domescape, a dome glamping site located in Nasugbu, Batangas just an hour away from Tagaytay.
Domescape features six fully air-conditioned domes, each furnished with comfy beds and mattresses, a mini-fridge, water heater, microwave, and a humidifier fan. Every dome also has its own natural pool, outdoor kitchen, and outdoor dining area.
But what makes Domescape more than just a fancy camping site is the concept of forest-bathing, or the practice of immersing oneself in nature to reduce stress and improve well-being. Domescape offers a unique and relaxing experience in nature, surrounded by lush greenery, fresh air, and soothing sounds.
In this blog post, I will share my personal experience of staying at Domescape, including the pros and cons of the place, and some tips and advice for future guests. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to escape the city and reconnect with nature, read on to find out more about Domescape Batangas.
My Domescape Experience
I booked a dome for two nights through Airbnb, which was easy and convenient. I received a confirmation email with the directions, contact details, and house rules. The check-in time was 3 pm and the check-out time was 12 noon.
I drove to Domescape from Quezon City, which took me about three hours. The place was easy to find, thanks to the email directions with Waze link, video, and clear signage. We were greeted by the friendly caretaker, who showed me to my dome and gave me a brief orientation.
I went with my wife and 2 daughters and we stayed in Dome 1.
DOME
The dome was spacious and clean, with a two double-sized beds, a sofa bed, a coffee table, and a TV. The bathroom was outside, but it was private and well-maintained.
NATURAL POOL
The natural pool was refreshing and inviting. It is one of the best reasons to go to Domescape. The pool is clean and emptied and refilled for every guest stay. Being in the pool surrounded by nature is a totally relaxing experience.
They have a hammock besides the pool area as well.
OTHER DOME SIDE FACITILIES
The outdoor kitchen was equipped with a stove, a grill, a sink, and utensils. The outdoor dining area was cozy with a wooden table, chairs, and fairy lights.
There was a lounging bed next to it under the shade of a tree with all weather bean bags/pillows.
ACTIVITIES
We spent most of my time swimming, cooking, reading, and relaxing in the dome.
We also enjoyed the bonfire and stargazing at night.
Listening while relaxing with the sounds of the birds and insects. The place was peaceful and quiet, except for the occasional sound of a passing car or a barking dog.
