My friends and I went there specifically to get some massage and try glamping.

Spa Room
Glamping (glamorous camping) combines camping and the amenities of a hotel.  The package is at PhP2500.00/person and includes one night accommodation (in a tent), barbecue at night and set breakfast.  There's no aircon though :) and no electric fan provided.  Good thing we went there on a January and it wasn't that hot during the night.

The camp site was set up in Kampo Sabila (a place inside Nurture Spa).  They have set up 2 tents for us.  Although the bigger tent is big enough for the four of us, they've set up the other tent just in case we felt crowded in one.  I guess their glamping activity is not that popular (yet) and we're the only ones using the area for that day/night.  Shared bath/restroom is available near the play area.

Location

Getting There:
By car, take the South Expressway towards Batangas, Exit Sta. Rosa or Greenfields City. Follow the signs towards Tagaytay. Upon reaching the ridge, turn right towards Tagaytay City. Once you reach the Tagaytay City Rotonda go towards the direction of Nasugbu. Watch out for a row of restaurants (Starbucks, Leslie’s, Dencios, Carlos Pizza) on your left. Once you spot them, turn right at Magallanes Square (where you can see Globe Telecom), follow the signs leading to Nurture Spa Village, approximately 3 kms. away.
