Glamping at Sand and Stars, Aurora
Imagine sitting on fine cream-colored sand by the beach, singing nostalgic summer songs, and watching blue waves gently lap against the shore while surrounded by mountains. This scene is very typical at Sand and Stars at Dinadiawan Beach, Aurora, where you can have a unique and very memorable glamping experience that you will always look back to.

Sand and Stars is a beach resort about 1.5 hours from Baler that offers a different kind of beach-bumming experience that is worth seeking out. With colorful pillows and comfortable mattresses, the spacious glamping tents won’t let you have second thoughts on choosing the tents over the cottages.

This place is for people who want a more relaxing getaway consisting of BBQs, walking on the sand, chatting with friends over some beers, thinking about life, and swimming at the beach (waves are gentler here compared to Baler). You can also get a magnificent view of the sunrise from your beachfront spot.

You can cook your own food using the LPG stove and grill that the resort is renting out. There is a town market near the resort where you can buy meat, vegetables, and other ingredients. But you may also buy food and raw ingredients from Baler Market as prices at Dinadiawan tend to be pricier.
From Baler, you can reach Sand and Stars for about 1.5 hours on a private vehicle, while it can take about 2 hours via bus (JoyBus or Genesis.) The road going to the resort has a striking scenery, so whether you’re driving or commuting, it’s going to be an enjoyable ride going to Sand and Stars.
