Countryside Getaway (Formerly Villa Escodero)

A convenient and refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, take this chance to recharge your batteries and enjoy a variety of fun filled activities in a rural setting of the Escudero Coconut Plantation. About a two hour drive south of Metro Manila, this quaint and historic villa is set amidst a pastoral grove inside a coconut plantation, a picturesque showcase of old plantation life. Guests will tour the plantation on board a carabao drawn cart while serenaded by a native band.

This resort villa also has its own museum which houses the family’s vast and interesting collection of historic, religious and cultural artifacts, some dating back to pre-Hispanic times. The highlight of your day may be sitting down to a sumptuous lunch served beneath a man-made dam with your feet immersed in cool rushing waters from a nearby lagoon. A swim in Villa Escudero’s spring-fed pools will complete your memorable visit.
