Indulge in the sweet life

MANILA, Philippines - LANDCO is best known for Peninsula de Punta Fuego, an exclusive Spanish-Mediterranean inspired seaside residential resort in Nasugbu, Batangas, the first of its kind. Here, modern, comfortable living meets the untamable richness of nature. Punta Fuego boasts of 12 white sand beaches, underwater caves, and coral reefs that cradle an array of marine life.

Punta Fuego’s success, even in the face of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, was phenomenal and has thus inspired its follow up, Terrazas de Punta Fuego. Terrazas is home to the best swimming beach in Batangas and at its highest elevation, it is called The Peak at which one’s spirit can soar. No other point provides a picturesque and sweeping view of Nasugbu. The model home, completed in January 2008, offers a taste of what is to come — architecture that embraces nature. Houses will become part of nature, following the gently sloping terrain while high ceilings and wide glass windows will make natural light and beauty an integral part of the home. Come this summer, The Peak’s amenities such as the Linear Park will be ready for use.

Then there is also Amara en Terrazas, a luxurious seaside condominium community within Terrazas de Punta Fuego, where the exclusive units offer an unobstructed view of the South China Sea. Two condominium buildings will complete the development –- Casa del Mar and Casa de Amor. Some 15 owners of Casa Del Mar are already enjoying their new homes while the seaside condominium’s second tower is fast rising. Such Landco initiatives have inspired imitation, but the copies stray far from the original. The Peak and Amara En Terrazas offer the best of luxurious and exclusive resort living.

Life is fun again at Landco’s Playa Calatagan, Playa Laiya, and Playa Azalea

Playa Calatagan is Landco’s 95-hectare leisure tourism estate squared neatly away in Brgy. Sta. Ana, Calatagan, Batangas.
