A weekender’s favorite south of Manila, Batangas has everything that makes a tourist destination in the Philippines



Enjoy everything Batangas has to offer, from white sand beaches and islands to gorgeous mountain hiking paths, diving spots, history villages, and delectable local food. The province of Batangas, is about 2 hours and 100 kilometers from Manila, is a popular weekend escape for locals because to its beaches and islands, beach resorts, fantastic diving places, mountains, and other attractions that can all be found in one place.



The beach that we went to is San diego lian beach resort. The accommodation we checked-in includes two bedrooms with two double decks and matress, gastove, two restrooms, one large table and some chairs. 



How to get to San diego lian Batangas? Here are your options on how to go to Batangas.

Travel time to Batangas is approximately 2-3 hours depending on where location you are going. 

 By Land: Private Vehicles and Public Bus

traveling by land is the most preferred way of going to Batangas. For private vehicles, you need to pass through the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) going to STAR Tollway before exiting at various towns and cities in Batangas.

By Air (Outside of Manila)

 The nearest airport to Batangas is the Philippines’ main airport hub of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Metro Manila. The airport’s terminals 1, 2 and 3 and the Domestic Airport Terminal 3 are in Pasay City. Upon arriving at these airports, you will then take a three-hour land trip to Batangas.


In our case, we went there using a private van. Driving a private car from Manila may take the Silang-Aguinaldo Highway, Tagaytay-Sta. Rosa route, or SLEX.

I was pleased with these children who are minding their own business and just enjoying the sea. I realized that i miss being child again. 

Bonfire night is the best night hanging out with good friends.

One of the things you can do with your friends is to do a beach bonfire where you can just hang out with friends, cook some marshmallows and play games or just chill and appreciate the beauty of the sea and the sky full of stars.

All I can say is batangas is one of the best and convenient to go when you are planning to have an outing with your friends, loved ones and your family. Because it's easy to go, it's close to manila and the prices there and the rates of the beach resorts are very affordable (Budget friendly for students like us)
