Brittany's Crosswinds is the Perfect Weekend Destination

May 3, 2012 | 12:00am

After a hectic workweek at the capital’s business districts, thoughts of Manila’s weekend warriors turn towards the south – to a thriving community where relaxation and rejuvenation is a way of life. Brittany Corporation, a proud member of the country’s largest homebuilder, Vista Land, has created a sanctuary in Tagaytay where suits come off and footwear is optional. Crosswinds, a Swiss-inspired development, has now become a weekend essential to recharge during the long holy week holiday.

The Thriving Community

Brittany envisioned the Crosswinds development not merely as an escape but a true oasis where one can renew both the body and the spirit. At 2,500 feet above sea level, Crosswinds is a 100-hectare masterplanned estate of prime Tagaytay land.

Inspired by Switzerland, Crosswinds has literally created a sanctuary that stimulates and refreshes the five senses. The charming chalets artfully adorned with architectural details are a feast for the eyes. With the reigning peace, one can hear the sweet song of nature. The 20,000 pine trees that line the property bring the scent of the Swiss Alps to life.

Today, the community continues to thrive in Crosswinds. Construction for the third tower of the scenic condominiums dubbed as the “Grand Quartier” has already started. While just across the towers, the quaint banquet hall perfect for lazy brunches and special events will soon be completed.

The Alpine Village

Also much awaited is the upcoming Alpine Village. This collection of mid-rise condominium towers is strategically positioned near the entrance of Crosswinds. With the charming downhill slope in that area, the roadside entrances to the buildings will be located in the middle level of the towers. The roadside floors will be dedicated to charming commercial establishments. Imagine quaint cafes, specialty shops and unique restaurants are soon to enthrall guests. A sprawling organic market and fresh bread daily at the bakery are just a few of the things to look forward to. Unit owners will be able to live, shop and dine in a Swiss fashion.

Residents can also enjoy reinvigorating dips at the pool, leisurely strolls amidst the lush pine tree-lined landscape, hiking through the natural slopes to take in the fresh air and clear the mind of the work week’s worries.
