Accommodations

Dating back to the 16th century, the practice of Glamping started with its roots in the USA and Great Britain where proximity to nature and the simplicity of camping is combined with the comforts we know from a hotel room or a furnished apartment. The term, however, only appeared in the early 2000s.

Coleman spearheaded the first Glamping event in the Philippines and soon after, the “glamping” sites that followed provided amenities with dome tents, pools, and fire pits, that are mediocre in quality to an extent that the term lost its true meaning, ‘glamorous camping’.

Fern Hill aims to redefine the term ‘glamping’ and serve as a catalyst for guests’ personal growth, adventure, and joy. The brand aspires to inspire guests to embrace the wonder of nature, foster meaningful connections, and leave a positive impact on the world, one experience at a time.
