Things are certainly busy and traffic has been at an all time high especially over the holidays. Ever thought about getting your own home away from the city? I bet you would love to have sand on your feet, a huge coastline you could walk on during sunset and a few hours of listening to crashing waves, changing your mood like a vacation... but you actually live there. Well, that can happen to you at Pico Terraces, Hamilo Coast's latest development at Pico de Loro in Nasugbu, Batangas.
It's a quaint residential community, carefully planned by Costa Del Hamilo Inc. under SM Prime. They made this especially for those who think about their mental health, and overall well being because Pico Terraces can certainly do wonders for that. They've got available units at the second building, and those who currently reside there love the positive impact it has been able to give while being there. The property spans 2.3 hectares, lots of room to walk around and appreciate mountain views, outdoor spaces and nature.
Pico Terraces also has lots of amenities like pools, cabanas, clubhouse, places where kids could roam around and play, several nature trails, outdoor fitness spaces, and barbecue areas. These are all dedicated to Pico Terraces home owners, a treat for those who want to live comfortably. Their units come in 1-3 bedroom arrangements, to fit different family sizes, with large windows and ventilation to make the space brighter and fresher. If you get a unit, you also get to be a member of Pico De Loro Beach and Country Club and get the perks that go with it.
Pico Terraces certainly would be a good future beach home, if you fancy or get the urge to live here, get more information from the Hamilo Coast FB page or hamilocoast.com.
Everybody deserves their own home and in Hamilo Coast, they've got Pico Terraces. It's a place for those looking for a comforting refuge, amenities and the feel of an upscale estate where you and your family could relax and do things you wouldn't be able to do in the city. This new development is managed by Costa Del Hamilo, Inc. which is under SM Prime. Set in different heights, these are condo buildings with a view of lush greeneries and mountain tops, certainly different from the usual noise in Manila.
Aside from the views, there's tons of outdoor amenities that's also included in the 2.1 hectare property which mostly comprise of open spaces, pools, cascading water features especially in Pico De Loro Cove. You can always sit and sleep in the cabanas spread in the Pico Terraces property, have the kids frolic around the lawn and play area or workout in their fitness area too.
Units come in 1, 2 or 3 bedroom suites all designed with a tropical feel. It's got large windows to let natural light in, and some have balconies so you can take advantage of the lush landscapes and have coffee in the mornings. It's also very near the Hamilo Coast Beach Club, the Country Club and even the Pico Beach for those who want to put sand in their feet every now and then. A unit comes with an individual club share so you can enjoy the amenities inside the property without going out in other parts of Nasugbu, Batangas.
It also sits right across Pico De Loro Cove Beach Club, to of course enjoy it even more with family, set in a prime property location in this province in South Luzon. Where else can you get a place that's got activities, fun, food, nature and a whole lot more things to do with your family, friends and yourself too. If you wish to check out the place, search HamiloCoastPH on FB or their website hamilocoast.com and see why people are moving there.
I've been to Hamilo Coast quite a number of times for family and events. It's actually a really good destination to do pretty much anything you put your mind into. The property sits in a 5,000 hectares of prime land managed by SM Prime under Costa Del Hamilo, Inc. It's a mix of residential, mid rise leisure driven resort with rooms that have spectacular views which you don't see much in the south. The development is well thought of and if you stay for a while, you could see how they put together the best elements you could ever ask for in a property. The convenience of modern facilities; and a heavenly landscape, the enjoyable outdoors where flora and fauna roam freely.
See, Hamilo Coast takes this to heart. They partnered with WWF or World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines. True to their word, this has been going on for 15 years and through this, they work on effective and sustainable tourism programs in the areas of coastal resource management, Solid Waste work, active mangrove planting, sourcing renewable energy and environmental awareness communication to affect a lot of people. The environment is riding on this which is why they are continuing to pursue world class and standardized eco tourism processes that takes leisure property management a notch higher.
CDHI's Hamilo Coast brings forth a beautiful community that doesn't forget to be responsible. As one of the most coveted properties in the region, they make sure to address matters that would be harmful for nature like solid trash and wastewater, and put proper plans in place. Both organizations have been working on programs that puts the importance on environment and build sustainable communities that make the right choices for their own and others. Their overall environmental management plan should be lauded and aside from the programs they have in place, should continue the coastal cleanups and the annual Earth hour which they celebrate in this property. Together with WWF, the Hamilo Coast management and the community, they can spark change and inspire more people. The Pico and Santelmo Beaches, the whole estate would be enjoyed by generations to come. It starts here, and it starts now!
Make sure you visit their social channels to get updates on activities and know more about what Hamilo Coast is all about.
It's been a stressful few years for all of us in the Philippines but the real estate market have been relentless especially in sustainable communities like Hamilo Coast in Nasugbu, Batangas. The place has a lovely white sand beach, luscious landscapes and country club amenities that would be a dream to have at this time and age. Thing is, it's accessible as it only takes an hour and 30 minutes away to get there from Metro Manila.
Recently, Lamudi published an increase in acquisitions of beach homes back in 2020. It was even bigger compared to 2019 despite having health scares across the globe. Leechiu Properties Consultants Inc. on the other hand proved much of that data is true even in the luxury market, as people turned to getting into homes that are stress free, all during that time when lock-downs were prevalent. It makes total sense as people prefer to even work in these conditions, even banks became more lenient providing loans for this purpose and see it a good return of investment in a couple of years.
Aside from those who wanted and needed to move, investors have taken a nod in owning homes with picturesque views like the ones in Freia. The condo units there have mountain and sea views, anyone would dream to have. Aside from the resort like look and amenities, you're gaining quality properties that are managed by Costa Hel Hamilo, Inc. which is under successful SM Prime. It's safe, secure, very tropical in design courtesy of foreign partners and consultants that did a tremendous job to make this a paradise. If you would want to see the property or take interest in owning one, you may check hamilocoast.com or call their office at 79458000. Wish I'd take refuge there!
It's officially summer and when the opportunity came to visit a resort in Calatagan Batangas came, I hurriedly grabbed it. It's a few hours away from Tagaytay City which is also pretty close to Manila. This is Aquaria Beach Resort. A sprawling property developed by LANDCO Pacific Corportaion, the same people that brought you Playa Laiya, Playa Calatagan, Hacienda Escudero, Terrazas De Punta Fuego and others, this world class property at Playa Calatagan, Calatagan, Batangas is but a piece of paradise that would cater to people of all walks of life, in this place, anytime. We ventured to Batangas the morning of March 23rd with my blogger friends. If you're finding some place to be in this Holy Week or just about any other day this summer, check out this video about our journey there, plus the things I enjoyed the most while in Aquaria Beach Resort!
It was fun, it was glorious, you'll feel blessed to live in a country like ours. Aquaria Beach Resort has amenities that would be envied by other establishments of the same nature, and they've done this quite nice in some of the resort's awe-inspiring areas.
When you get off your car, you would be greeted by this imposing structure in front. This serves as their front desk and arrangements before you enter the resort happens here. Entrance Fees cost 500 for Adults, 250 for kids on a weekday and 700 for Adults and 350 for kids on a weekend. You can also rent a Cabana in the beach front for around Php 1000 or Php 1,500 that can fit around 10-15 people. Make sure you also bring proper swim gear and other stuff that you deem necessary for a beach trip, toiletries and towels included (because I don't think they have that on hand as of now). Property owners and their guests get perks of course so if you're thinking of getting a beach property anytime soon, they've only got a few units left so you better do it in haste!
Don't worry about having enough shower rooms or comfort rooms because this place has a lot inside this building. It also houses the locker rooms if you want to keep some of your things safe while you frolic in the sun, they've got that covered.
This is the Kid's Pool Area. They've got several fountains, water guns and water showers inside this area. I've seen life guards both in the beach and in the pool area so I think everyone's safe. Adults should stay in the other side which have around 4-6 feet of water if I'm not mistaken. Aside from that, this particular feature is fun!
This is Aquaria Beach Resort's Giant Water Slide. It's a big tube where you can fit huge 2 prong lifesavers that can fit 2 people in it. You go down the tube together and whirl your way down the pool, make sure you listen to the person upstairs so we don't get into trouble while doing the slide. It's ultra safe, but probably not for kids. Unless of course they swim like a fish for a living then that's an exception.
Up on the beach front they have these cozy cabanas which I deem you try and get if you wanna go here. It's a place where you and your family could spend the whole afternoon lounging around, having a glass of wine, a bottle of beer and barbecue. You can also rent a grill from them and bring your best meat, fish or poultry products if you're up to it. I got my massage here and it was very comfortable. They've got the beach volleyball, beach football amenities right beside it. Aside from that, they've got henna tattoo stations beside them as well. I got one before I left the resort and it's still here... I totally loved it!
As you saw on my video up there, they've got a ton of beach activities including open sea Kayaking, snorkling, island hopping, banana boats, jet skis, or just bumming around the beautiful shore. They've got around 4 kilometers of it if I'm not mistaken. They also have scrumptious food served at the beach restaurant which they call Sands. Kudos to the chef who grilled my baby back ribs, it was so good I had a few kilos of it still in my system. As with the other things, it'll be in my memory of this place... of which I promise to go back to when I need a beach refuge that doesn't entail a plane or a boat ride at all.
Thank you so much to the great people from Aquaria Beach Resort for making our stay memorable. I've already got friends and family asking about it and I won't hesitate to share how I got here. It's their turn to have some fun under the sun!
Summer is here and we all love bumming in the sun or simply playing our favorite volleyball game in the beach. Well, Nestea has been doing that for the past 17 years. They're much of an expert in this field of chilling, relaxing and playing and they're doing it again in a grand way come labor day this year.
They gave us the experience of celebrating on water and on land at the Antel Suites in Makati, which comes close to Boracay right? Twas complete with sand, a bar and a great DJ spinning music throughout the hot afternoon!
Music was great. It was awesome to see some personalities from Air Asia, Nuffnang, Eon, Lenovo and other companies too. Aside from that, some of my blogger friends were also there to enjoy the festivities.
Oh of course, the gorgeous models were there too!
If you check out the poster beside her, (and probably not looking at her too much LOL) Nestea Beach 2014 Volleyball Championship will happen from May 1-3. A yacht party will happen too from Kalibo's port to the island. The biggest pool party will also commence in The Tides in Boracay. I've heard Cedric Gervais and Steve Aoki will perform. Aside from that, Dj's Jessica Milner, Nina Saputil and RX Jocks will be there too. If you plan to go to Boracay, you'll witness how 24 teams vie for the ultimate Nestea Beach 2014 championship... all you need to do is be there!
A few games were also done that evening. Believe it or not, I won an O+ Phone just by posting on Instagram. The others engaged in a better, bolder activity. They did the NESTEA SPLASH!
The models did it first. I didn't think they had any problems with it. They had fun though! :)
They did it in a series. Then the public voted to see who's worthy of the fabulous prizes. Some went home with trips to a local and international destination courtesy of Air Asia. Then one won the latest YOGA Tablet from Lenovo! Congratulations guys!
Thank you also to the team behind Nestea Beach 2014! Now, we can't wait to see what will happen come May 1st when we take the party to Boracay. Is it just me or are they not taking me there?! Well I hope so LOL!
Just a few hours away from the Philippines is GUAM - they're also set to reveal great packages this coming February 14 - 16, 2014 at the PTTA Travel and Tour Expo at the Mall of Asia SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
If you haven't seen the island yet, this is a great time to get in touch with the representatives from GUAM Visitors Bureau and get a taste of what its like to be in their pristine beaches, rich culture and flavorful cuisine; all of which you can do on a whim even on weekends.
This place is also a shopping haven for tourists since they enjoy tax free privileges. There's even more discounts from November to January where the SHOP GUAM FESTIVAL happens each year. It's the biggest one in the Western Pacific and thousands of shopaholics use this as an excuse to stay longer in Guam, I couldn't blame them though :)
On April 13, they will hold the Guam International Marathon then the annual Ko Ko Road Race in October. You can also stay there for the Guam Music Festival which happens in June. These are just the recommended dates but you can always go there all the time so you can see for yourself what Guam + its Chamorro people are all about.
Make sure you check out the official Guam Visitors Bureau booth at the PTTA Travel and Tour Expo (booth 386-389) at the 3rd Hall of the SMX Convention Center at the dates mentioned above. There will be special shows performed by Guam's very own Cultural Chamorro Dancers to give you a glimpse of what it feels like to visit GUAM!
A breeze that would make your summer nights colder, a tall glass of Tequila Sunrise, a beach that stretches around 7 KM of white beach sand and a hammock tied up in 2 coconut trees while watching the majestic sunset happen in its shores. Now how's that for a Nuffnang Summer? =)
This happened just this February. I had a blog hiatus at this time and I just needed a break from all of the stress in the city. This vacation gave me more than what I bargained for because this sunset shots I got just made everything worth it! It's like "Schick. Free your skin." because the freedom I got there totally disconnecting from technology made me understand how much love I have for my self and my family. It's like saying "Banana Boat Sunscreen Lotion. We've got you covered." to me because I felt that everything I did at this time Boracay really gave me the time of my life!
Looks like Nuffnang is going to hook us up again this coming week in HUNGER GAMES. Thank you so much for making our summer a tad bit nicer! =)
