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.

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 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.

Arguably, the best way to experience nature is through camping out.

The glamping geodomes look out 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.

As with most Airbnb homes in Camiguin, this tiny home encourages guests to embrace the simplicity of island life. The whole place is solar-powered, without television, and even barely equipped with any appliances. But, its natural features certainly compensate for the lack of amenities.

At the same time, this Airbnb in Camiguin features luxuries one won’t typically find in a basic provincial rental. A few examples: an infinity pool over the water, an espresso machine, and artworks by European and local artists. Learn more about this Airbnb here.
