Missing the sun, sea, and sand? With its proximity to the Metro and numerous resorts to choose from, Batangas is undoubtedly a favorite destination for a quick getaway. Resorts in the area easily get packed but you can still have a slice of paradise among the crowd, right at La Luz Beach Resort, one of the most beloved beach resorts in Laiya, Batangas.

La Luz Beach Resort

La Luz Beach Resort didn’t begin as a business. For more than three decades, the nook in Laiya’s famous shores served as a private vacation home for a family. It was only until a few years ago that they opened to the public and it has become a favorite spot that vacationers keep going back to.

Laiya’s beaches are usually packed with resorts and tourists, but La Luz will give you a slice of peace and relaxation away from the crowd. The property is located at the farthest end of the shoreline and its unmatched beauty is just mesmerizing: cream sands, crystal blue waters, and lush greenery.

The rock formations are perfect for posing for the ‘gram. Want to take Little Mermaid-like photos on the rocks? You can achieve that at La Luz.

The resort boasts Pinoy interiors, with wood accents made of bamboo found around the property. Even the cottages and chairs lined across the shore are made of bamboo and resemble the classic bahay kubo. They’re perfect for relaxing by the sea when it’s still too hot to bask in the sun, or watching the sunset with a cold cocktail in hand.
