“It is an honor and privilege to be given the opportunity to help MVP turn his vision of rebuilding a stronger tourism industry into reality through Landco’s revolutionary concept of leisure tourism estates (LTE),” stated Erickson Y. Manzano, President and CEO, Landco.

 

“With the company’s legacy of the pioneering premium landscapes for more than 30 years, Landco innovates with its LTE as tourism and lifestyle destinations, offering a wide array of resort amenities in idyllic beachside locales that have a thriving connection to the community,” Manzano said.

 

“Property owners have the immense opportunity of building their dream beach homes, availing of the LTE’s resort living amenities and opting to start a new business of their own that reflects their passion and caters to the tourism market. Through these projects, Landco helps promote Philippine tourism and jumpstart local businesses,” he added

 

Landco’s latest LTEs are master-planned developments with mixed-use residential and commercial lots, situated in the tourist destination of Batangas: 24-hectare Club Laiya and 15-hectare CaSoBē; and Samal Island, Davao.

 

These properties promote the quality of leisure tourism experience in its locality and highlight the three main principles of sustainable tourism: economic, environment, and socio-cultural sustainability.

With the warm hospitality and world-class service of homegrown talents, the resort offers unconventional accommodations like the surreal capsule-like rooms of Cocoons to Crusoe Cabins’ beachfront view of Calatagan, Batangas’ picture-perfect sunsets.

As part of its resort experience, these beachside properties have thoughtful design elements that offer an inviting and relaxing ambiance in harmony with nature.

 

Promotion of Local Tourism

 

A sense of place and solidarity with the community pervade in Club Laiya and CaSoBē. Locals, tourists and property investors share a common ground in helping preserve the historical sites, tourist attractions and the natural beauty of the expansive white beach and picturesque sunsets of Batangas.

The Seaside District at Club Laiya, San Juan is designed as a contemporary resort destination. it is a place to see and be seen, property owners and tourists alike enjoy an active lifestyle with water sports and activities such as windsurfing, kayaking, and yachting.

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

Tweet

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.

For reservations and more information about Aquaria, call Landco Pacific Corp. at 836-5000. Landco is the developer behind other leisure resort destinations include Peninsula de Punta Fuego, Leisure Farms, Hacienda Escudero and the Playa Series—Playa Calatagan, Play Laiya in Batangas and Playa Azalea in Samal Island, Davao.

Landco Pacific Corporation is the developer of high-end leisure communities, resort-inspired condominiums and luxury home communities. For more than 20 years, the company has made its mark in Philippine real estate, and is widely acknowledged as one of the leading leisure developers.

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.
