Two days after my recent Corregidor Island trip, I am back in the road again for another day of utter bliss. This time, I am headed to the beautiful land of Nasugbu, Batangas where I will be spending the whole day at the gorgeous Club Ananda of Sandari Batulao.
CLUB ANANDA
Club Ananda is a function area located inside Sandari Batulao which is a real estate property owned by Citystate Properties and Management Corporation (CPMC).
Situated at the foot of Mt. Batulao and Mt. Talamitam, Club Ananda is the perfect venue for wedding receptions and other occasions as it boasts its splendid amenities: the marvelous river pool, the astonishing white sand of the kiddie island, the relaxing cabanas, the sophisticated function hall, and more. To make it more interesting, it is only a few minutes away from the famous Caleruega Church and Chapel on the Hill!

HIKING ACTIVITY WITH SKY ADVENTURES PH
Having been invited as guest bloggers, my fellow guests and I were given the chance to try their optional hiking activity. We were accompanied by our guides from Sky Adventures who made sure to orient us about the dos and don’ts of hiking. As a hiker, I must admit that it is an advantage that I know most of what they were talking about. However, most of my fellow guests found it terrifying at first as they absolutely have no experience in the said activity. Luckily, through the course of time, they finally loosened up. I would like to commend our guides for their excellent assistance which made everyone at ease during the hike. Cheers for being awesome, guys!
If you want to relax and get an authentic taste of the outdoors, Club Ananda is the place to go! For more information and bookings for the hiking activity, you may contact +63 977 842 5607 or email skyadventuresph@outlook.com.
Overall, I must say that Club Ananda is remarkable, and it definitely is a sanctuary I’d love to go back to. With very accommodating staff members, impressive amenities, and awesome activities, I surely won’t forget my one-day stay at the amazing Club Ananda of Sandari Batulao! Props to the team for giving us an unforgettable and exceptional experience in this paradise!
