With 7,107 islands and having the fourth-longest coastline in the world, beaches in the Philippines come in many forms and sizes, from small desert islands to pink-sand beaches. The northern Island of Luzon is no exception to this, and also hosts several of the country’s most exclusive beach getaways, where you could rub elbows with the country and the region’s elite.
Anvaya Cove
Just less than 3 hours away from Manila by land, the Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature club is a beach resort community in Morong, Bataan. The upscale resort was developed and master planned for weekend getaways.
Access to accommodations at Anvaya are strictly for members only; shares to the beach club cost tens of thousands of dollars, and available shares to purchase are hard to come by these days.
Amenities at Anvaya include the Casitas, Bamboo Café, Tower Bar and Veda Spa.
Anvaya is also a treat for nature lovers, as the hilly terrain of the resort coupled with breathtaking views of the seas and mountains make for a great trekking and bird watching experience. Out to the sea, the resort offers wakeboarding, water skiing, kayaking, snorkeling and discovery diving.
Punta Fuego
