When work or school gets super stressful and exhausting, wouldn’t anyone want to enjoy a quick escape? But with intense traffic, it’s not such a great idea to always plan out-of-town getaways. Fortunately, if you want to enjoy a quick nature retreat without driving for hours outside of Metro Manila, you can enjoy a nature staycation in Paralumina Cabins.
Paralumina Cabins offers charming hillside cabins for rent in San Mateo, Rizal, only a short drive from Marikina and about half an hour from Quezon City with the normal traffic. Their cabins are strategically located in the higher parts of San Mateo and feature a stunning view of the city.
The cabins can easily be accessible by car even though there are relatively steep areas, but it shouldn’t be a problem for most drivers. There’s also street parking right outside the cabins.
Paralumina Cabins currently has two cabins to rent, each accommodating 2 to 4 people. It’s perfect for couples who want to get away from the city, or for small groups of friends who love nature staycations.
Each cabin is also complete with essentials and amenities. There are complete cookware, utensils, and cooking equipment; even drinking water and a refrigerator! You also don’t have to worry about towels and toiletries because they provide those, too. Just bring clothes, food, and snacks!

If you’re not in the mood to cook, there are also lots of cafes and food stalls around the area. There are also a few karaokes around the area, so maybe expect a little bit of noise in the daytime, but they abruptly stop at a certain time.
We stayed at their more spacious Cabin 2. It features a cozy outdoor common area with a picnic table, a complete kitchen, a comfy swing, a hammock, and a mini Netflix-ready projector so you can also enjoy movie nights outdoors.
The cabins also have a mini dipping pool outdoors, perfect for when you need a refreshing dip or you just want to relax in a tub.
The cabin itself is where the bedroom is. It’s an A-frame cabin that faces the west, giving you an unobstructed view of Metro Manila’s famous sunsets. You can enjoy the view right from the bed, or if you want to get closer, you can sit out on the deck.
The stunning view at Paralumina Cabins is more than enough to give you rest and relaxation. Of course, the cabin’s cozy vibe and complete amenities will make sure you are refreshed and recharged, ready to face another day in the city.
As a bonus, Paralumina Cabins is also pet-friendly! Your furbabies are welcome to enjoy the scenery, the cozy cabin, and the amenities.
If you’re a certified adventurer and would like to enjoy a few nature activities, great news because Paralumina Cabins also partnered with UCM Adventure Park which is only a few minutes away from the cabins. Here, you can enjoy fun activities such as the bicycle zipline, ATV rentals, and horseback riding.
Paralumina Cabins is a great place to recharge and savor the beauty and serenity of nature. The next time you’re feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, book a night at Paralumina Cabins.
Rates start at PHP 2,800.
