IN the wake of the country’s most blistering-hot summer comes refreshingly cool and wet weather. Right on cue, intermittent rain and thunderstorms blow cooler winds around the metropolis, bringing relief to our heat-blighted populace. After being tethered to their homes, Filipinos are hankering for a bit more fun and adventure.
Fortunately, at premier residential and leisure complex Tagaytay Highlands, there’s no stopping residents and guests from engaging in stress-busting outdoor pursuits–rain or shine. Right after a downpour, for instance, residents can take invigorating brisk walks on Tagaytay Highlands’ wet trails and pathways.
Those who need more vigorous exercise can opt to run or jog–or hop on their bikes and go pedaling near the Sports Center. They may also bring their kids to the fishing pier or the go-karts for some bonding time.
Meantime, resident golfers can head for the fairways. The Highlands is home to 2 championship-level golf courses: Tagaytay Highlands International Golf Club and Tagaytay Midlands Golf Club, both offering spectacular views of Taal Lake, Laguna de Bay, and Mount Makiling.
Tagaytay Highlands is not all adrenaline and adventure, though. In fair or rainy weather, homeowners and guests may indulge in more relaxing yet active pursuits such as mountain trekking, or heading over to the Highlands’ specialty restaurants that offer various cuisines and gourmet delights.
Situated at the Highlands Golfers Lounge and the Midlands Golfers Lounge, Concha’s Garden Café offers beloved Filipino comfort food such as its best-selling Laoya, an heirloom dish similar to ‘beef nilaga’.
For a taste of delectable Chinese treats, Filipino foodies need only to head for Highlands China Palace for their dim sum that comes steamed or fried. Time-honored favorites are different variants of Siomai, Steamed Prawn Dumpling, Steamed Spinach Dumpling, Sesame Balls, Spicy Chicken Feet, Shrimp Century Egg Roll, and so much more.
On those evenings when residents prefer to stay in, food delivery and take-out options are available at other food and beverage outlets.
In recognition of its steadfast commitment to continuously provide safe and secure facilities for its members, residents, and their guests, Tagaytay Highlands has recently been awarded the Safety Seal of the City Government of Tagaytay. The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development has likewise named Tagaytay Highlands’ developer, Highlands Prime, Inc., a subsidiary of SM Prime Holdings, as one of CALABARZON’s 2021 Outstanding Developers for Open Market Projects.
