Tagaytay Highlands: Paradise on earth

MANILA, Philippines - Tagaytay Highlands, home of first-class leisure and recreational amenities as well as magnificent architectural structures, has become not just an ultimate world-class golf and recreational destination but also a magnificent getaway against the stressful urban life. It is a perfect haven to enjoy everything that life has to offer. Tagaytay Highlands is a paradise here on earth.

It is home to three residential communities, namely: the Highlands, composed of the Pinecrest Village, The Villas, Belle View and The Woodlands, among others; the Midlands, which boasts the Lakeside Fairways communities called Kew Gardens, Terrazzas de Alava, Tivoli Place, Lakeside Enclave, Cotswold, Katsura, Yume, and Sycamore Heights; and the Greenlands, which has the Plantation Hills, The Parks at Saratoga Hills, The Verandas at Saratoga Hills, and Fairfield.

Tagaytay Highlands is likewise home to two world-class championship golf courses.

The Tagaytay Highlands International Golf Club boasts its Swiss-engineered cable cars to ferry you through its course, and the Tagaytay Midlands Golf Club, which has the country’s only 48-seater funicular system.

 And to provide a wider choice of options for the sports enthusiasts, there is The Country Club at Tagaytay Highlands where one can enjoy a game of squash, or challenge oneself by going go-karting with all its twists and turns, and how about doing a few laps swimming in more than 2,000-feet above sea level?

 For pampering after a round of golf, there’s The Spa and Lodge at Tagaytay Highlands. With a full range of facilities including relaxation therapy, one can treat and pamper oneself by having a massage (single/couple) as administered by the Spa and Lodge’s professional personnel.

Tagaytay Highlands has always given its residents and club members the utmost importance. Security, medical and firefighting services are provided 24/7. Basic utilities such as power supply and water are ensured. It even provides rental and leasing services. All these guarantee residents and club members a community that enjoys the majesty of nature — from the cool, clean air to its topography, or being nestled so high one may actually experience being above the clouds.

From here you can also enjoy views of Taal Lake and volcano, an unlikely union of the natural forces of water and fire. Tagaytay Highlands founder Willy Ocier revealed that most of their guests in fact feel like they are not actually in the Philippines whenever they are up here. Indeed, Ocier was never wrong in saying that this is something that Filipinos should be proud of because Tagaytay Highlands is conceptualized and built by Filipinos.  

The Greenlands will soon have another masterpiece of luxurious modern living at Nob Hill. This latest residential development will have modern homes that are also eco-friendly. Made out of natural light stone, painted cement finishes, stainless steel and powder-coated metal trims, and glazing, natural wood finishes and trims, this quintessential home will be composed of simple, geometrical and rhythmical lines, light and calming colors, and large openings that will draw light and fresh air inside and contribute to an environment-driven way of living.

What else do they have? The Highlands China Place, the Highlander Steakhouse, the Country Club, the Sports Center, the Fishing Pier and the Animal Farm, among others. Internet access is not a problem because the clubhouses are Wi-Fi zones. Lastly, it has close proximity to educational institutions such as St. Scholastica’s College, Caritas Don Bosco, and De La Salle University-Canlubang.
