There are two new master-planned developments in Batangas, which promise to raise the benchmark in resort living, offering mixed-use residential and commercial lots situated in tourist destinations.
Developed by Landco, one development is located in Laiya, San Juan (called Club Laiya) and the other is in Calatagan (CaSoBē). Landco is calling these their newest Leisure Tourism Estates (LTE), which serve as tourism and lifestyle destinations in a community setting. The diverse resort amenities make both of the developments attractive weekend getaway spots, work-from-a-resort option, or a venue for events and conferences.
“Investors have the flexibility to own premium properties that can serve as residential homes either as a dream beach house or second home, or commercial structure for a resort business, or a blend of both in the thriving destination of Batangas. Through these projects, Landco helps promote Philippine tourism and jumpstart local businesses,” said Landco President and CEO Erickson Y. Manzano.
Club Laiya is a 24-hectare development that features leisure living in a true supra resort community highlighting wide open spaces and beautiful promenades, with parks and retail landscapes.
The Seaside District at Club Laiya provides various offerings serving both the tourist market and the serious investor. For the leisure seeker, apart from having access to Laiya’s expansive white sand beaches, they can also avail of the resort amenities in the estate.
Designed as a contemporary resort destination, it is the 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.
CaSoBē (Calatagan South Beach), on the other hand, is a 15-hectare development that offers a more laidback resort lifestyle in an intimate setting. It complements the rich heritage of its location by providing relaxation and entertainment attractions.
Harbour Estates are lots offered within CaSoBē. These estates are classified as commercial or mixed use where lots are for residential or commercial or both. Investors enjoy the stature and benefits of owning a beach property in a thriving resort setting.
“In a gist, the two developments are the same products in the sense that everything you’ll ever need is right there. The main difference would be the vibe—Club Laiya is built for individuals who want a more active lifestyle, while CaSoBē has a more laidback feel,” Manzano said.
These two projects under Landco BeachTowns are conveniently accessible within two to three-hour driving distance from Metro Manila and are minutes away from local facilities: hospital, public market, pharmacy, school, chapel and tourist spots.
The beachside properties have thoughtful design elements that offer an inviting and relaxing ambiance which evoke harmony with nature.
“We intentioned that even if we blindfolded you, once you take off your blindfold and look at your surrounding, you would know exactly where you are,” Manzano said of the developments’ signature look and vibe.
The roads, for one, are blue to the core; the lamps and manholes are painted with artwork, and sidewalks are equally artsy.
As premium tourism estates, Club Laiya and CaSoBē are envisioned to contribute to the quality of the leisure tourism experience in its locality and promote the three main principles of sustainable tourism, namely: environment, economic, and socio-cultural sustainability.
The two properties are aiming to be both Edge- and LEED-certified. Ecological conservation projects particularly the conservation of marine life and sea turtles are in place in both developments.
