Batangas Resorts List | Real Stays, Reviews & Travel Experiences

March is here, and it is the time of the year again when we start planning for summer adventures. It is not easy to research and reserve because we all know that most of the resorts are fully booked during April and May. It really pays to reserve in advance because summer is #peakseason. 


Speaking of summer getaways. If you are living in Metro Manila and the southern part of Luzon, Batangas is a popular summer destination because of the beach resorts. We live in South Luzon, so it is our go-to place if we want to have fun in the sun. There are so many resorts in different parts of Batangas, but I will share the resorts that we have tried in the past. 

Batangas Resorts

1. Golden Sunset Resort

Golden Sunset Resort is located in Calatagan, Batangas, owned by Ricky Reyes. The resort has different types of swimming pools, but no beach (just beach sand). It offers an outdoor museum, playground, butterfly garden, and serendipity spa, which you can visit during your leisure time. During our visit, there was a parade of sea creatures. The place is a little bit big, but don’t worry, there is a mini-jeepney inside the resort that transports guests.

2. Kabayan Resort

Kabayan Resort is the cheapest resort that we’ve visited in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas, because the entrance fee is only P100 for adults and P50 for those 11 years old and below, so it is not surprising that the place is crowded during peak season. It offers both a beach and a swimming pool, but there will be an additional fee if you want to use the swimming pool. You can bring your own food and drinks without a corkage fee.

3. Blue Coral Resort

Blue Coral Resort is the second beach resort that we’ve tried in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas. The resort facilities, rooms, and services were good, but the food was just ok for us. Food and drinks are not allowed, so you have to avail of their food package for P1,100 per person, which includes buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

4. La Luz Resort

Another beach resort that we’ve visited in Laiya, San Juan Batangas, is La Luz Resort. The resort is always fully booked even in the lean season, so make sure that you make a reservation for a day trip and an overnight stay. The day trip fee is P850, which includes buffet lunch and merienda; you can add buffet breakfast for an additional fee of P200 per head. The beach resort has no swimming pool.

5. Stilts Calatagan Resort

Stilts Calatagan Resort is one of the resorts that I’ve been meaning to visit, but their room accommodation is quite steep in my budget, so we just had a day trip. It offers a beach and a swimming pool. The beach in Calatagan, Batangas, is not as good as Laiya, San Juan, Batangas, so manage your expectations. Food and drinks are allowed, but with a corkage fee. I like the service at Stilts Calatagan, and if ever I have a budget, I would like to revisit the place, but this time for an overnight stay in one of their cottages.

6. Canyon Cove Resort

Canyon Cove Resort is located in Nasugbu, Batangas. Just like other resorts, this place is always fully booked, whether in lean or peak season. We just visited this place last November, and my mom wanted to have an outing here, but when I checked the March weekend schedule last November, fully booked na agad. The resort has both a swimming pool and a beach. I prefer the beach in Nasugbu compared to Calatagan and Laiya, San Juan Batangas (hindi kasi bigla lalim and hindi maalon).

9. Hamilo Coast Pico De Loro 2018

We stayed at Pico Sands Hotel, but you can also rent a condominium in order to enter Hamilo Coast Pico De Loro. The place is big, and it offers both a swimming pool and a beach. You have no reasons to get bored here because they have a lot of activities that you can do. They have several restaurants so you'll never get hungry. Two days and one night are not enough to enjoy the place, medyo bitin pa.

10. Acuaverde Beach Resort

This is the fifth resort that we have tried in San Juan, Batangas. It is the sister company of Acuatico Beach Resort but they do not have a swimming pool. Whether you will book for a day trip or overnight stay, the package includes three meals. This is a pet-friendly resort so you can bring your pet for a fee.

12. Palm Beach Resort 2019

Palm Beach Resort offers a day trip and an overnight stay. They have rooms for a couple, a family, and even for a big group. They have 2 swimming pools, a beach, a playground, and some team-building facilities. The place is big, so sometimes going from one place to another makes you feel tired, but they have a shuttle service for that. The shore of the beach is a little bit rocky, so it is better to bring your aqua shoes, or you can borrow them, depending on availability. For an overnight stay, you need to avail yourself of their full-board meals at P1800.

13. The Farm at San Benito 2019

The Farm at San Benito is not a beach resort; it is a Health and Wellness resort, so if you are looking for a peaceful place, then visit this holistic sanctuary. They have activities for kids and adults, some are free, and some are for a fee. The only disadvantage is that everything is expensive, but if you have the budget, then treat yourself and stay here.

14. Lilom Resort 2022

Lilom Resort is the second resort that we have tried in Anilao, Batangas. This is a rustic resort with 7 rooms only, so you can book the whole resort if you want an exclusive stay. The rate includes full-board meals, so getting hungry is never a problem.


15. The Henry Resort Taramindu Laiya 2022

I celebrated my birthday at The Henry Resort Taramindu Laiya, it is the former Taramindu Beach Garden. It offers both a swimming pool and a beach. Their room is good for 2 to 4 people only. It has its own restaurant, which is called Apartment 1B.

The property blends modern comfort with a calm, natural setting, making it ideal for weekend getaways, intimate gatherings, retreats, and slow, restorative stays.


18. La Chevrerie Resort 2023

La Chevererie Resort & Spa is the fourth resort that we visited in Anilao, Batangas. It is a five-star resort that offers both a pool and a beach. It has only 13 rooms, so if you want privacy, you can add this to your choices.

19. Nawa Wellness Resort 2024

If you’re looking for a more peaceful and wellness-focused stay in Batangas, Nawa Wellness Resort is a great escape from the usual crowded beach resorts. The resort has a relaxing atmosphere with modern tropical interiors and plenty of greenery that instantly makes you slow down and recharge. What we loved most was the calm environment, perfect for couples, families, or even a quick self-care weekend. The amenities are well-maintained, and the overall experience feels more premium and private compared to typical beach resorts in the area.


20. Ybonita Farm and Villas 2025

Ybonita Farm and Villas gave us a relaxing countryside escape in Batangas that felt very different from the usual beach trip. Surrounded by nature and open spaces, the farm stay offered a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere that’s perfect for families, barkadas, or anyone wanting a quiet weekend away from the city. We stayed overnight at the cozy Yvatan Villa and enjoyed a well-prepared package that made the experience feel hassle-free and memorable.


21. Matabungkay Beach Hotel 2026

Matabungkay Beach Resort remains one of the classic beach destinations in Batangas, especially for travelers who want a convenient and family-friendly vacation spot. The beach area is known for its floating cottages and calm waters, making it enjoyable for swimming and short boat rides. During our visit, we appreciated the wide beachfront, relaxing sea breeze, and nostalgic resort vibe that many Batangas travelers grew up with. It’s a solid choice for weekend getaways, reunions, and casual beach trips without traveling too far from Manila.


So far, these are the resorts that we’ve visited in Batangas. Care to share your favorite resort?

Thank you for sharing this. I am from Quezon City and the South area is also our favorite destination during summer because its only a few hours from us. This post is definitely a good resort guide for people like us. Thanks.

Yes, I would love a beach na hindi biglang lalim because we have little children. Also, I prefer a resort with pool AND beach. Pico de Loro is a good option, although there's membership or you have to be vouched by the member or something. But, in the late afternoon, there are jellyfish already swimming beside us. Yikes!

Michi said...

Pico De Loro is nice too but quite expensive for non members. Scary naman ang jellyfish.

Farida said...

Wow, so many resorts in Batangas! And I bet, from your experience, you can identify which resort has good water sports facilities, the best for the budget conscious and so on. Yes, summer is undeniably here! :)

Blessing said...

Wow, what a beautiful place and resort to visit. You really got me on this and I feel like flying over there asap.
Anyways, enjoy and have fun. Thanks for sharing all the amazing pictures.

We were able to go to a few resorts in Batangas but haven't been at the ones mentioned above. Summer is already and we have to plan again for the outing for family and the company I belong to.

Jhaney said...

Oh, now I'm drooling over the pictures. I'm a beach lover and I can remember when I was still in the Philippines, my family always go to Batangas for family outing. A week before going to KSA, my sister and her husband brought me to Batangas to get the last taste of beach even if it has typhoon that time. LOL

Dominique Goh said...

Whao there are so many different resorts to stay at at Batangas. I too think that Cannon Cove looks the most grand place to stay at.

Len said...

thanks for this post, now i have an idea where can we enjoy this summer at batangas, nice places!

theresa said...

Now we have hints for R and R activities for our annual event.

Nilyn said...

Oh my, these beaches are as mouth watering as food! lol! Summer's really almost here! :)

Chin chin said...

I also want to go to the beach with my family because my kids haven't visited one since we came to the Philippines. Thanks for the list of resorts we could choose from in Batangas. Perhaps we could visit one this summer...

RUBZONLINE said...

Wow! You've traveled a lot! Thank you for sharing these beautiful resorts in Batangas. I may not be able to visit them soon but this list is very helpful. Thanks again!

Mommy Maye said...

Yay. Summer is here. Hopefully we can hit a beach this summer. I am sure Matthew will enjoy it this time.

Ron Leyba said...

BATANGAS is one of those places to visit when summertime hits. The beaches, the white sands and the mini-island resorts there are all amazing!

Unknown said...

Been here! Yeah, awesome place for RnR :-)

Grown-Ups For A Day! said...

Like Cym, I look for a resort with the best of both worlds - clear, kid-friendly beaches and a swimming pool too. My girls tend to panic when they hear the sound of water by the bay. I bring them anyways; just so they will find that there's nothing to be scared about. In time, they will fully enjoy it.

Mrs. Chubs said...

this list is so timely! nakakalokang magbook ng pangsummer outing namin sa office, kundi puno na yung resort, ang mahal naman

Michi said...

True, so sometimes I prefer to have an early summer outing to avoid the peak season rate. :)

Michi said...

My son prefers pool than beach so it is really nice if the resort offers pool. :)

Michi said...

Philippines has a lot of beautiful beaches so it is really fun to spend summer here. :)

Unknown said...

I've only been to Laiya. Stilts looks inviting. Only if they're all accessible by public transpo.

Melgie Campbell said...

I'm missing the Philippines so much with this post. I love seeing all the beautiful resorts that surely give relaxation to the whole family. So perfect for summer coming up. Thanks for sharing Sis
