Camiguin Enigmata Treehouse

Ever dreamt of living in a treehouse? Of leaving the city for a while and be one with nature? Better head off to Enigmata in Mambajao, Camiguin.

Enigmata is a Visayan term meaning ‘the wakening’. Travel buffs and nature lovers will understand why. Living in the Enigmata tree house is like living in an ancient yet modern
world, minus the hassle or technologies like pc, TV, and radio.

3D1Q headed off to Camiguin last October. As we heard good reviews with Enigmata, we booked 1 day. It should’ve been 2 days. But it was fully booked during our first day in Camiguin. The owner gave us the rooftop (3rd floor) for just P900. Amount is good for 2 people only. Additional person costs P200 each. As I’ve seen the place in pictures only, I was up for a big surprise. When we entered Enigmata, we were amazed at the decorations. One of the artists is Mindanao’s Kublai Khan (forgot the name really). For both artists and the non-artists alike, you’ll find the place enigmatic and mesmerizing.

One of the staff was very accommodating. She told us the prices/fares of the tourist spots, as well as how to get there. She even gave the contact number of a boatman in the Mantigue island so that we could avoid paying more than the usual price. We really appreciate her gesture and hospitality.

After talking to our drivers, she finally accompanied us to our room. As I’ve said, we are up for a big surprise. The rooftop (room) was huge. It’s like a hotel suite without the aircon, tv and refrigerator. The room contains a living room, kitchen, CR, attic and a 2-storey bedroom. One bed for each ‘mini’ floor. Aside from the 2 bedrooms, there’re also 2 ‘duyan’s in the living room. Another magnificent thing was the bed itself. When did you last sleep inside a “kulambo”? In Enigmata, the bed was designed to keep you safe from crawling animals during sleep. Though you’d hear the birds chirping, insects walking(according to T) and geckos “gecko-ing”, you’re sure that you’re in for a good night sleep. It even has a dream catcher on top of the kulambo for an added effect.

Another great thing about it is the food. There was a slight confusion when I booked the place and ask for breakfast at that time. But since it was the owner’s birthday when we came, she treated us with breakfast composed of Organic brown rice, bacon, egg, ham and coffee.

Aside from the food and amenities, the view was also fantastic. When you’re in the attic, you have the full view of the mountain at the back (probably Mt. Hibok-Hibok) and the sea in front. When you’re in the living room, you can see the entire place. If you want to enjoy nature at the same time stay in a nice place, Enigmata’s just around the corner (of Camiguin of course).

It seems like I’m advertising Enigmata. All I can say is, a good place/service deserves a good review. I’ll recommend it to anyone, anytime, anywhere. =)
