Between the northern part of Mt. Makiling and the north shore of Laguna de Bay are the towns of Calamba, Los Banos, and Bay in Laguna Province, Philippines. These cities have some of the hidden treasures you should visit in this time of the pandemic.

This resort combines the best of both worlds – Laguna’s famously pure and pristine waters with the concept of a public spring and resort. Located at Brgy. Perez, Calauan, Laguna, this hot spring is surrounded by lush and healthy greenery. This is a little more gimmicky than the other paths but still gives a healthy and natural retreat from Manila’s sprawl.

A 300-year-old tree, known as the Amlang Tree, can be found deep within the rainforest. This resort contains a natural jacuzzi pool and a thermal pool, for starters. Six natural springs with varied heat temperatures also enhance blood circulation and soothe tired muscles.
The resort offers plenty of lodgings and cozy amenities to make your stay more enjoyable and convenient. While it is nestled inside a quiet jungle, it also has a quaint touch of the past.
