Get to know CaSoBe, a new beach and glamping destination in Batangas

Batangas has long been a top-of-mind choice for those looking for respite from the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila.

While there are already several established beachfront destinations in Batangas, including Laiya, Nasugbu, and Matabungkay, there is always room for more, and Calatagan South Beach (CaSoBe) is making a case as your new getaway destination.

Rivaling well-known beach havens in the country, Calatagan is a tourist and leisure destination that is only a two to three-hour drive from Metro Manila and not as crowded and bustling.

If you prefer more privacy, stillness, and exclusivity, the seaside community at the expansive 15-hectare resort estates CaSoBe should be considered as a choice for your accommodations.

At CaSoBe, the Crusoe Cabins (P8,000+/night) are a unique offering. These refitted container vans transformed into unconventional accommodations with modern amenities, provide a stunning view of the beach and the resort's tropical aesthetic.

The family-friendly cabin at CaSoBe features a queen-size bed, a bunk bed, a convertible sofa bed, a private bathroom, and a balcony featuring a suspended swing. It's a fitting choice for a group of four to five people.

The Calatagan resort also has a CaSoBe lighthouse, standing at 15.5 meters with a panoramic viewing deck of the entire property and the beach.

Aside from Crusoe Cabins and the CaSoBe lighthouse, the property is also gearing up to launch more accommodation options, such as the Cupola, a unique geodesic and dome-shaped accommodation with its own toilet and private jacuzzi for a next-level glamping experience.
 
Whether you visit during peak or off-season, Calatagan is a place full of diversions. At CaSoBe, guests can enjoy various activities, from Edna's boat ride for island hopping to Starfish Island, Little Boracay, sandbars, and coves to visiting the Cape Santiago lighthouse heritage site. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
