Nasugbu

A three-hour scenic drive

Living in Manila definitely has its perks. I’ve always likened it to New York in that it has everything a restless individual needs, and that is ample distraction. Oh yes, Manila will undoubtedly hold you captivated with its fastpaced corporate power jobs to its endless malls and sprawling event venues offering diverse culture, cuisine and entertainment experiences. However, while city life may not always be a bad thing, leading a busy, fast-paced lifestyle will eventually take its toll on most. Burnout, confusion, loss of inspiration—these are just among the unfortunate results that stem from a full-throttle existence. Luckily for weary city dwellers and habitués looking to escape the chaos, another benefit of living in Manila today is that the perfect weekend getaway is just a three-hour drive away.

Pico de Loro Cove 

Tucked cozily along the rustic shores of Nasugbu, Batangas, Hamilo Coast boasts of vast hectares’ worth of natural beauty spread across verdant forests, lush mountains, breathtaking coves and 25 kilometers of clear coastline. Within this abundant setting lies the ultimate leisure experience—Pico de Loro Cove, SM Land’s recently developed exclusive leisure community.

A sprawling 37.5-hectare property, Pico de Loro Cove is home to the first of SM Land’s many master-planned destination developments. It promotes a unique vacation lifestyle with its exclusive residential enclaves; its man-made salt-water lagoon, bordered by a two-kilometer promenade; and the recently opened Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club, which hold the key to various indoor and outdoor leisure activities both the laidback and adventurous resident and club member can enjoy.
