A slice of paradise! Aquaria leisure resort spells summer fun in Calatagan

A summer adventure I enjoyed last week in Plaiya Calatagan, Batangas. Discovering Aquaria Beach Resort has been an extra-ordinary fun and memorable experience! The mere remoteness promotes a feeling of calmness and peacefulness inside me that is I always want to have. Aquaria a very nice resort for family and friends to unwind and relax, and to enjoy summer.

I'm so happy to be invited by Landco to experience Aquaria resort lifestyle. Me, with my friends and selected guests looked around the white beach, the sands and clean aquamarine water, none of us could stop saying that it was the most beautiful place we had ever seen, a paradise.

The resort, the waves and the boat accommodations were soulful. The resort is the key that will open the door even to this unique surfing experience we had.

Aquaria is the new leisure resort development by Landco. Aquaria is a 1.2- hectare world-class leisure property designed for families and friends to enjoy an exciting holiday.

A world-class lifestyle resort, Aquaria is a white beach and resort amenities that is just two and a half to three hours away from Metro Manila—a perfect alternative to going to Boracay and other far away beach destinations.

We arrived at the Aquaria before lunch time.  As much as all the guests couldn’t wait to try out the water park and the white beach, we first opted to enjoy the morning snacks and especially lunch, which consisted of the perfect summer seaside fare: lobsters, prawns, squid, chicken legs, beef kebab, and pork belly—all ready for delicious grilling.

Summer thirst quenchers were readily available, including Aquaria’s signature lemon grass tea, plus freshly-squeezed fruit juices, and liquor from the bar, which is right beside the Sands restaurant near the beach front.

After getting rested and fed, guests gamely participated in the different activities for the day:  games of soccer, volleyball and Frisbee, as well as water sports like kayaking and wind surfing. Some went boating and jet skiing, while others took a tutorial on stand- up paddle (SUP) boards.

The highlight is the three-storey giant pool slide—Aquaria’s central and distinctive feature at the water park. Other amenities include a welcome center, a kiddie pool, cove pools, cabanas, a sunken pool bar, a food and beverage area, and separate shower and locker facilities for men and women. There are sun loungers equipped with huge umbrellas, as well as hammocks, for those who wish to enjoy the sea breezes and beach views.  

Aquaria is part of Landco’s 12-hectare Playa Calatagan Leisure Tourism Estate, which houses its various innovative resort lifestyle concepts. All of these are meant to cater to local and foreign tourists, families, and corporate guests.

Aquaria is part of a series of projects meant to fulfill Landco’s goal of turning Playa Calatagan and the rest of Calatagan into a premier tourism and lifestyle destination in the Philippines.

Soon, Landco will be putting up a world-class seaside condominium near Aquaria, just a few steps away from the beach.

Aquaria welcomes guests at P400 per head for adults and P200 per head for children, which is already an all-day access. Those who want to avail of cabanas can do so at rates of P1, 000 for the smaller ones, and P1,500 for the bigger ones (good for ten people) for the whole day.

From Manila, three hours for travel distance, boats, land resorts, type of surf, accommodations, food,  and endless ravings is so memorable. Everyone enjoyed Aquaria’s amenities and features. It is worth the travel time.

This is a trip of a lifetime and we are going to do it again, and again and again.
