As the most prominent Christian nation in Asia, the Philippines considers Christmas the most wonderful time of the year. In fact, we have the longest Christmas celebration in the world.

Aside from celebrating this important holiday with loved ones at home, many Filipinos also travel to different tourist destinations and private resorts to celebrate.

Here in Davao, there’s a resort located in the highlands of Digos City that is popular not just during the holiday season but also throughout the year — Camp Sabros Mountain Resort.

Situated in Sitio Baras, Brgy. Kapatagan, Digos City, Davao del Sur, Camp Sabros offers a panoramic view of the tallest mountain in the country, Mount Apo.

Surrounded by flourishing pine trees and cool weather, visitors often liken the resort to the renowned Baguio in the North when visiting for the first time.

This mountain resort offers not only a relaxing and calming ambiance but also a rustic yet elegant atmosphere. So, if you’re planning to spend Christmas at a resort, consider Camp Sabros as your top choice.
