Have you ever seen a Christmas tree that not only dazzles with holiday cheer but also tells a story of sustainability and nature? Imagine a tree crafted from recyclable materials, designed to honor sea turtles and their incredible journey.
Pico de Loro Cove at Hamilo Coast in Nasugbu, Batangas, kicked off the holiday season in style with its grand Christmas tree lighting on November 16, 2024. The ceremony, held at the Beach and Country Club, was attended by prominent guests, including Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club (PDLBCC) executives, Chairwoman Elizabeth Sy, President Rita Dy, Pico Sands Hotel (PSH) General Manager Maxi Gavino, SM Leisure Resort Residences Business Unit (SMLRR BU) Head Shirley Ong, and SM Hotels and Conventions Corp. (SMCC) Senior Vice President Walid Wafik.
This year’s theme, Home For The Holidays, was brought to life through the centerpiece of the celebration—a stunning 30-foot Christmas tree. Inspired by sea turtles, the tree symbolizes homecoming and the warmth of the season, with the turtles' journey back to the sea mirroring the feelings of comfort and belonging that Pico de Loro Cove aims to offer.
"This year, our decorations reflect the theme 'Home for the Holidays.' Turtles are at the heart of our design, symbolizing their journey back to the sea after nesting in the cove. Just as they find their way home, we invite our members and guests to experience the warmth and comfort of home with us, creating cherished memories with their loved ones. Tonight, we gather to witness the beautiful illumination of our Christmas tree, and we hope you share in our excitement as we look forward to a memorable holiday season here at Pico de Loro Cove," said Gavino.
The holiday decorations, a mix of eco-friendly and sustainable designs, were crafted by the Pico CRAFTMas team. Using upcycled and locally sourced materials found within the property, the team created innovative and heartfelt displays, underscoring the cove’s commitment to both creativity and sustainability.
Guests were treated to a night full of festive cheer with lively entertainment and a sense of excitement for the season ahead. Dy shared that there would be plenty to enjoy during the holidays, from delicious dining options to spa experiences and much-anticipated events like the Christmas hampers sale and the New Year’s Eve countdown party at the events park garden.
As guests step into Pico de Loro Cove, they’ll be captivated by the Christmas tree, a breathtaking symbol of joy and warmth that illuminates the holiday season. Whether it's your first visit or you're returning to create new memories, the cove offers a welcoming, festive atmosphere that truly feels like home for the holidays.
