Living life closer to nature in Pampanga
Pampanga is poised to be the next master-planned megalopolis and Metro Manila’s development counter-magnet. At the center of it all, Ayala Land Inc. and Leonio Land Holdings Inc.’s have developed Alviera, a booming large-scale estate that weaves comfortable urban life with nature’s scenic landscapes.

It is a dream for any urbanite to work their way up the corporate ladder during weekdays and climb the peak of the mountains on weekends. After gliding from several meetings for five days, a few days off certainly call for a relaxing recharge and a breath of fresh air. 

But as you strive in the bustling city, the reality shows how you choose to stay on bed whenever you can, always setting aside the chance to go on an adventure. 

And when your alarm goes off in the morning, your mind keep ringing life’s what ifs: “What if I wake up to the sound of chirping birds and not the thought of getting stuck in horrendous traffic?” and “What if I had the time to balance work and play?” 

With Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) and Leonio Land Holdings Inc.’s (LLHI) booming large-scale estate Alviera in Porac, Pampanga, you can finally turn "What if?" into "Why not?"

A balanced after-work life

Central Luzon is among the deeply treasured jewels of the Philippines as it houses the culinary capital, Pampanga. 

Today, Pampanga is poised to be the next master-planned megalopolis and Metro Manila’s development counter-magnet. At the center of it all, ALI and LLHI have utilized the province’s roaring growth and natural laid-back beauty and developed Alviera, a first-of-its-kind estate up north. 

Alviera sets itself apart as it flawlessly weaves comfortable urban life with nature’s scenic landscapes. Here, your next-door neighbors are the picturesque mountains of Porac, which also doubles as your trail for wandering, running and biking. 

The 1,800-hectare mixed-use estate has been designed for a healthy after-work life. It houses recreational facilities if you want to take things light, at the same time entertainment facilities are open if you feel like ending the day on a high note. 

Alviera, a sustainable mixed-use estate, will be divided into four districts. The City Center will accommodate corporate offices, regional malls, the Alviera Country Club and Ayala Land Premier. The West Side will have educational institutions, wellness and leisure attractions, hotels, and retail spaces. The East Side’s industrial parks and residential communities will further boost the region’s economic growth. The 5-km long Greenbelt will house themed gardens, libraries and greenhouses, which will rouse healthier lifestyles. (Artist's Perspective)

With Alviera, ALI and LLHI exemplify what they are best known for – creating sustainable mixed-use estates. It is divided into four districts, namely City Center, West Side, East Side and Greenbelt. 

Built as the central business district, the City Center will accommodate corporate offices, regional malls, the Alviera Country Club and the Ayala Land Premier for its residential community.

The West Side will give prominence to vibrant mountain ranges, which are the ideal backdrop for educational institutions, wellness and leisure attractions, hotels, and retail spaces.

The East Side’s industrial parks and Avida and Alveo’s residential communities will further boost the region’s economic growth.

Linking and complementing the entire Alviera estate is the five-kilometer long Greenbelt. Alviera’s green space will house the 25-hectare La Salle Botanical Gardens, which house 25 gardens, a full-scale laboratory, plant nursery, greenhouses and libraries.

A rewarding timeout

Uniting the perks of urban living and nature, Alviera is being developed to bridge people to the unique and majestic landscape of Porac while supplementing a well-balanced lifestyle. 

After a busy day at work, who doesn’t want to hear their kids’ exciting stories from school? If you are looking for a new fun place to bond with your loved ones, then Alviera Country Club is the place to be. 

With the spacious 5-hectare area, you can choose from world-class amenities such as the luxury sports club, game facility, indoor and outdoor tennis, badminton, volleyball and basketball courts, billiard halls, a network of pools and the Splash Park. 

Situated in the heart of the emerging estate, Alviera Country Club was designed by famed architectural firm Leandro V. Locsin Partners of Architects to accommodate the lifestyle that you truly deserve.

Do you need to regain your creative juices for innovative ideas? A few minutes away from your work or doorstep, the country club’s jacuzzi, steam bath, gym, dance studio and wellness spa are built to let you sweat off the day’s load. 

For a refreshing venue for meetings or events, the Country Club’s al fresco cafè, boardrooms, multi-purpose hall and expansive grand hall — accommodating about 600 guests — can inspire you to think of innovative ideas or turn up the fun, while the splendid greenery allure you in the background. 

To cap another productive day, Alviera Hotel lays a few steps away from the Country Club. The 50-room hotel will pamper your friends or business partners as they complete their tasks in town. 

You can’t call it a trip to Porac, Pampanga without savoring the local cuisine. Serving the world’s and country’s best dishes in one roof, Alviera Country Club’s specialty restaurants have everything your palate could ask for. 

While savoring the scenic view and sipping refreshments, chefs at the open kitchen will prepare your favorite meals right in front of your eyes. 

An adventure out in the open

All while placing the people in the midst of progress in Central Luzon, Alviera’s ideal location brings people close to nature where they can breathe, trek, camp and enjoy the mountainous views and high elevation. 

Now, you can finally splash into your much-awaited weekend adventure at Alviera’s Sandbox. Inside the 6-hectare adventure destination, the sky is literally the limit to what you can do. 

For first-time thrill seekers, the Giant Swing should be on top of your agenda. It is the country’s tallest swing and two of your best friends can accompany you as you feel the rush of air. If you feel strong enough to conquer heights, buckle up and try Asia’s first roller coaster zip line.

If these raised your adrenaline to a whole new level, make sure to keep your heart steady with its newest installations, City Kart Racing and The Splash Tub, a Wipeout-like water obstacle course. Later this year, Sandbox will launch the action-packed Airsoft and Paintball Fields. 

Alviera’s ideal location brings people closer to nature. There, they can breathe fresh air, trek, camp and enjoy the mountainous views and high elevation.

Out in the open field, the little ones can enjoy kite flying and kite-making activities, while the grown-ups can be kids again playing Frisbee and RC planes. 

Of course, nothing can dethrone the classic attractions: Aerial Walk Challenge, Outdoor Archery, ATV and UTV rides, and Adventure Tower’s Free Wall, Rappel Wall and Wall Climbing. 

Alviera, a 1,800-hectare sustainable estate by Ayala Land and Leonio Land features a diverse mix of residential dwellings, commercial districts, industrial parks, institutions and leisure facilities to attract local and international markets and support local economic growth.
