Often, when we need a break from the city, the closest refuge most go for can be found by driving south to Tagaytay.
Tagaytay, after all, is close enough to Metro Manila and doesn’t take much time to travel to. There’s a good mix of developments in the area, though not to a point that it loses its provincial charm. Many find it an accessible way to beat the heat, simply rolling down their windows to feel Tagaytay’s cool breeze. And for some, it’s worth taking the trip to feel a taste of the luxurious life by booking a stay at Anya Resort Tagaytay.

You can also request customized scents and pillows to cater to your needs.

A taste of the high life also comes from having a meal at Samira by Chef Chele Gonzalez. You can enjoy a whole six-course menu or simply enjoy the signature Grill Experience. There’s also the poolside restaurant where you can treat yourself to brick oven-baked pizza after a relaxing swim.

Another way to feel at ease is by visiting the Niyama Wellness Center. On the launch of Anya Villas, guests were treated to a gong and on-body Nepalese bowl sound healing session hosted by Tet Fojas-Bachmann. Through this method of sound therapy, vibrations caused by the sound emitted by the bowl are said to relax various parts of the body. It also helps clear the mind and lets you concentrate on meditating. Other wellness activities guests can partake in include yoga sessions, the art of tai chi, or low-impact exercises like aqua fitness.
