A Quiet Weekend In Batangas

Nakakamiss mag picture, nakakamiss din mag blog. In an era of overflowing content, sometimes we simply want quiet. Amidst the noise and people desperate for attention, we occasionally seek a place away from it all. Recently, I enjoyed a tranquil weekend at Punta Verde Resort in Batangas. 

It had been a while since our last long drive, and I was initially skeptical due to the weather radar predicting total cloud cover with a 30% chance of rain. However, the experience turned out to be a refreshing break. We drove through SLEX, took the Batangas-Ibaan Exit, and continued along Batangas-Taysan Road. While I’m uncertain whether I’d recommend this route for sedan drivers, we made it through just fine. Along the way, we also passed by Malabrigo Lighthouse, a historical gem worth stopping by.




Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised by the serene atmosphere of the resort, even on a weekend. It was exactly what we needed to escape the hustle and bustle. Although the frequent trips up and down to the beach could be a bit tiring, especially given the 200+ flights of stairs, the resort's two large infinity pools provided a perfect alternative for those not keen on the climb. For future visitors, I’d recommend choosing accommodations closer to the main area to minimize the trek. 

  


On our way home, we opted for a longer route to avoid the challenging spots along Batangas-Taysan Road, especially with the impending rain.

Here’s to more weekends like this, where quiet moments become cherished memories.
