Club Balai Isabel + Summer Essentials

"To those who dream, there is no such place as far away."

Right on the shores of the world-famous Taal Lake and across from its volcano is a place where you can relax, connect and be with nature. Club Balai Isabel offers an option for an active lifestyle with all the comforts of city living. A mere fifteen minutes from the Tagaytay ridge, it offers an up-close and personal view of the lake and its world-famous volcano.

For years, Tagaytay has been made famous by its view of Taal Lake and its volcano. However, the lakeside towns never became tourist destinations due to the lack of resort facilities. Manila-based developer Techno-Asia changed that two years ago when it planned to create a residential resort community called Club Balai Isabel. Today, Techno-Asia’s vision has grown from a four-hectare private subdivision to a nine-hectare resort.

Club Balai Isabel’s amenities and facilities make it an excellent choice for holidays, corporate events, and special occasions. Enjoy the food served at the Terraza Cafe, take a refreshing dip in the pool, hang out in the cabanas; enjoy more active pursuits such as kayaking and sailing, or take a boat ride and get a closer look at a Taal Volcano’s crater on horseback or on foot.

In line with this, Techno-Asia will develop only thirty percent of the total land area in order to preserve the natural beauty of the land and to truly create a haven for city dwellers.

Since I have shared with you some of the features of the resort so before heading to this place, I would like to share with you some of the summer essentials you should bring/have:

* Swimsuit - a good stylish swimsuit creates a perfect ootd when you are on vacation. Look for a versatile one which you can wear with anything else just like what I wore in the photos.

* Hats - since it's summer and it's extremely hot, always bring hats with you to cover up your head to avoid a headache and heat stroke.

* Shades - since we mention cover up on our head, it's always a combo to bring shades too to protect your eyes from sun damage and you can also easily see even upon looking straight into the sun.

* Sunblock - when I am going out, I always make sure to wear sunblock every time, so I will be protected from harmful sun damage.

* Camera - would it be nice to capture great moments during your trip?

Would love to visit it soon?
