.Calaguas is Sweeter Second Time Around.

Up until now, I still can't believe that I was able to step my foot back again in this beautiful island where I first met my husband. We did it again via Travel Factor, the best and trusted travel group so far when it comes to cowboy trips like these and one of the pioneers who organizes frequent trips to Calaguas. Through Travel Factor, you don't have to worry about your food and your tent, for they will provide everything to you. All you have to do is to beach bum all day, swim in the crystal clear blue waters and enjoy the milky powdery sands between your toes. 
What's in my beach bag? : TF magazine, my favourite Alba organic sunscreen, Healthy Options snacks (except for the Maltesers hehe), my favourite book & Lagu beach mat
Beautiful people we've met in Calaguas via Travel Factor.
We've also noticed a lot of developments around the area such as these open-air "environment friendly" villas, and decent bathrooms with shower and bidet. Yes! You've heard it right! There are already bidets in Calaguas! This upgrade is very surprising knowing that it has only one toilet bowl for the entire island last 2010. 
The next day we visited Bagasbas Beach for surfing!

Buri Resort & Spa Private Villa Getaway

I've been receiving a lot of inquiries about our private villa getaway last weekend so finally here it is! Presenting to you our favorite snaps in this posh 4-star boutique resort nestling in the beautiful island of Puerto Galera, Buri Resort and Spa. This resort has only 12 luxurious villas giving you a more private, secluded and romantic ambiance perfect for honeymooners and weekend staycationers. The whole place has an overall tropical look and feel because of the colorful flowers and palm trees surrounding the entire island. Their food, rooms, services and amenities were truly impeccable! We wouldn't mind going back again for a longer villa getaway!
Reaching this hidden gem is very easy and convenient. It would only take you 2 hours to travel by land from Manila to Batangas Pier. Once you've reached the pier, you may park your car in the secured parking lot (240 php for 24 hours, 10 php per hour) within the compound then ride a ferry boat (230 php + port fees)all the way to Muelle Port in less than an hour. From Muelle, a small private boat transfer organized by the resort will transfer you to the private island in less than 5 minutes.


Book your villa this summer and experience our villa getaway too!!! :)
