Yielded from volcanic eruptions, Camiguin holds the moniker, “Island Born of Fire”. Having its origins rooted in lava and ash, the province has inevitably borne pristine beaches across its lands. Volcanoes and shores combined, Camiguin has even been deemed a worthy contender to Hawaii. At least, that’s what foreigners have to say about the island.
But beyond its breathtaking topography, the island holds a particular appeal for travellers in the 21st century: It’s teeming with virgin acreage, sprawling with lands ideal for solitary retreats and definite escapes from the hubbub of the city.
In other words, Camiguin is mystifyingly remote and relatively under the radar. These attributes make the properties on the island mostly budget-friendly even as they are paradisiacal. Hard to believe? Let these Airbnb homes in Camiguin speak for themselves.

Airbnb homes in Camiguin to book for your next trip
1. This lofty volcano house perched on a hill
Listing name: Camiguin Volcano Houses – Entire A-Frame House
Listing type: Entire home
Max. no. of guests: 16+
No. of bedrooms: 5
One of the most highly-rated Airbnb properties in Camiguin, this volcano house has received nothing but compliments on the booking platform. Perched atop lush hills, the A-framed mahogany cabin boasts of views of both mountain and sea — and of course, the Hibok-Hibok volcano.
Its structure is one of the more non-traditional Airbnbs in Camiguin, but it nevertheless gushes a native charm. Perhaps, this stems from the fact that the whole house brings the outdoors in. Not to mention, the Internet connection and cellular reception here aren’t the best, either. But we’re all for a good digital detox, right? With all the amenities in this house, you’ll most likely forget about your phone, anyway. Learn more about this Airbnb here.

The glamping geodomes lookout to an ocean and garden view, making disconnecting from the tumults of life fairly easy. The property also has a garden sprawling with herbs and ferns, which the host uses to prepare healthy meals. Learn more about this Airbnb here.
