Coasting along Hamilo Coast

MANILA, Philippines - Lifestyle personality Tessa Prieto-Valdes has traveled far and wide, but one breezy Friday afternoon at a photo shoot, she found herself in a destination she had never been to before — Hamilo Coast, in Nasugbu, Batangas.

Hamilo Coast is SM Land’s 5,800-hectare master-planned development envisioned to provide a network of dwelling options and leisure communities — from waterfront locales to secluded, exclusive coves.

These will provide endless options for relaxed and leisurely living, all set amid some of the most stunning tropical seascapes, comparable to some of the world’s top travel destinations.

Pico de Loro Cove, the maiden development within Hamilo Coast, offers exclusive leisure condominium living with breathtaking nature and seaside views. The community is already brimming with energy as the first batch of unit owners in its Jacana cluster of condominiums has already started moving in. SM Land recently dressed up the ground floor units of its Jacana phase with furniture and accessories from lifestyle store Our Home to further provide prospective unit owners with a vision of the ease and convenience of condo leisure living.

As brand ambassador of Our Home, Tessa visited Pico de Loro for an exclusive publicity effort with the lifestyle brand.

Pico de Loro Cove makes it easy for families and individuals to adopt a vacation lifestyle with its pioneering seaside condominium concept plus an exclusive leisure club community with its Pico de Loro Beach & Country Club. Tessa remarks that while there are many options to enjoy the development, one does not feel constricted because the land is not burdened by excessive structures, offering guests many breathtaking views and open spaces for active leisure or relaxation after a hectic week in the city. Through the panoramic windows of a condominium unit, Tessa notices the work being done on the four-hectare saltwater lagoon which will serve as a central feature for the condo cluster, and says that she can already imagine walking around the lagoon.

There is a myriad of land- and sea-based activities offered like scuba diving, kayaking, racquet sports, and many others. Apart from the Beach Club, a more social venue where members and guests can lounge around or enjoy its sumptuous offerings is the place’s signature restaurant, the Sun Coral Café, among other dining venues. The Country Club will soon be completed and will offer the usual amenities and facilities of a city club such as basketball, badminton, bowling, and other recreational activities — the only difference is that it is situated amid a breathtaking natural environment.

It is easy to find one’s own spot of happiness in Pico de Loro Cove because it combines play and relaxation in a place that you can call your second home. It is secure and secluded, with all the conveniences of utilities and modern amenities. True to SM Land’s vision of creating Hamilo Coast as an enduring leisure destination for generations to come, Pico de Loro Cove’s ease and convenience of a weekend getaway is just the start of an exciting development that will surely be home to countless vacation memories for Filipino families.
