2022 has been a year of “revenge travel,” or the year when our social media feeds were decorated with photos and videos of our family and friends finally pushing through their local or international vacations after years of being locked down in their homes. For sure many have already booked their travel itineraries for 2023, but if you haven’t yet – don’t worry! We listed down the holidays for 2023, and the possible vacation spots you and your family can book and enjoy!
Bakuran PH
Dona Remedios Trinidad, Bulacan
If you’re looking for a home away from home, this cozy spot in Bulacan is the one! Literally a bakuran transformed into a staycation spot for you and your family, Bakuran has three cabins named Balai Ate, Balai Kuya, and Balai Bunso. Aside from taking lots of Instagrammable pictures both indoors and outdoors, you may also enjoy swimming in the pool, cooking in their outdoor kitchen, and roasting mallows in their campfire!
Estancia de Lorenzo
San Mateo, Rizal
Estancia de Lorenzo is both an events place and a nature farm. If you or someone you know is planning an out of town event, this place is perfect! However, if you’re just looking for a weekend getaway, there’s still so much to do at Estancia. Your kids can learn at the mini zoo, swim in the pool, and run at the playparks! Adults can ride the ATV or relax with their Skinfinity services.
Forest Crest Nature Hotel and Resort
Nasugbu, Batangas
Looking for more adventures just a few hours away from the metro? Visit Forest Crest Nature Hotel and Resort for Rock Climbing, Tree Top Adventure, Zipline, Biking, and Obstacle Courses! Flora and fauna lovers also have their own space here at the Orchidarium and Butterfly Garden. This place is truly a treat!
Haven by the Lake
Cavinti
There seems to be no running out of nature-inspired staycation spots near the metro! Take your spot and bask in the beautiful scenery as you unwind, read, or write! Fancy a boodle fight-style meal? You may have it here, too! You may enjoy their balsa with your family, and stay in a glass house near the lake overlooking the gorgeous view! At night, roast some marshmallows in the campfire for some treat!
Cintai Corito’s Garden
Balete, Batangas
Get ready with your patterned and colorful outfits as Bali became closer with this staycation spot in Batangas! Pose in front of the Balinese-inspired structures and collect photos and memories before you enjoy swimming with your family! It’s like a two-in-one destination, with only one goal: to experience serenity as you take a break from your busy work life.
