As the year draws to a close, we are starting to get more
free days than usual. Human resources may grant office holidays that are good
for at least a couple of days or may opt to give their employees half the day
off before the holidays commence. And because this is the case, this is the
perfect opportunity for a holiday stroll or getaway. With so many days without
having to go to the office, you would be left with absolutely no excuses as to
why you could not find the time for a weekend getaway.
And with the year drawing to a close, it is high time that
you visit these places. If booking a ticket for a Christmas getaway is not
within your options then among all the places you could potentially visit come
holiday season, Laguna should rank first on your list. There are boundless
activities one could potentially do, and a Christmas
Laguna getaway is
something a little closer to the metro and is something a little different than
usual. Additionally, Laguna plays host to Nuvali, which is a sustainable community
development—a collaboration between top developer Ayala Land and the Yulo
family. One of its long-standing primary goals is to remain a wholly
sustainable community.
Visiting Nuvali before the year ends is very much possible
as it only takes an hour to get there from Metro Manila via private vehicle
depending on traffic of course.
Additionally, there are buses and jeepneys that can take you there. So,
now that you have decided to give Nuvali a go, what should you do?
Well, there is a lot in store for you!
1.) VISIT THE
EVOLIVING CENTER
This architectural genius deserves a visit whenever you are
in Nuvali even just for the fact to see the breathtaking view and the artistic
brilliance incorporated into structuring and designing this particular building.
Apart from appreciating the visual aesthetics, this is the place to go to have
an in-depth view and insight of what exactly it is that Nuvali does. This is
where visitors learn how they integrate the green principle of Reducing,
Reusing and Recycling in their backyard along with other earth friendly and
green applications such as energy efficiency, waste management, etc. The
evoliving center is located at the heart of the community and features their
interactive exhibits (which is worth looking out for) and their corporate
offices.
2.) GO ON A BOAT
RIDE IN THE LAKESIDE
For individuals in search for a refreshing ride, Nuvali
features a Lakeside, which you can peruse from and appreciate from a distance
or can try navigating for only thirty pesos a head (Operating hours are between
8:00AM-5:00 PM every day). The boats can carry a minimum of six persons and a
maximum of twelve persons per ride so the ride can easily accommodate family
members or friends. Walking and biking around the area for those who wish to
stay away from the water is also an option for sixty pesos an hour. This is the
perfect opportunity to choose a cozy spot surrounding the area and have a
picnic together with family or friends.
3.) APPRECIATE ART
Art lovers, photographers, and selfie-enthusiasts will find
a multitude of activities to do in Nuvali with its scenic backdrop and creative
art installations. Traipse around Nuvali’s picnic grounds and look for perfect backdrops for artistic
photography or for your selfies to post on Instagram (with the breathtaking
view, you would hardly need a filter)-- or you can simply appreciate the
artistic installations by some of the well-respected artists in the country
such as Juan Carlo Calma, Eduardo Castrillo, and Mariano Mallari. If you book
an overnight stay or eat at Seda Nuvali, you will find more works from local
artists everywhere. This is one spot where Ayala shows its support for local
artists by utilizing their talents and featuring their pieces all over.
4.) SHOP AT SOLENAD
Running behind on your holiday shopping? Well, Nuvali has
you covered with Solenad 1 and 2 which feature a cluster of buildings teeming
with diverse shops, seasonal stalls (some good only for the week) and an array
of various restaurants. Considering the Christmas season, you can see the whole
area decked with lights and decorations having the general feel and aura of the
Christmas spirit.
5.) ENGAGE IN
SPORTS
Individuals wanting to burn some accumulated holiday and
Christmas calories can start in Nuvali as the place features a wide selection
of activities and sports to choose from. Offroad biking, field sports,
trekking, or wakeboarding—there is never a shortage of activities to burn those
extra calories in Nuvali.
