Spend a Soulful, ‘Holy Week’ Break in Antipolo

Holy week or Semana Santa is considered as the most solemn week in the Philippines—a predominantly Catholic country.

While it serves as a time to reflect on faith and the Passion of Christ, Holy Week has also become an occasion for families to spend memorable moments together, aiming to get away from the hustle and bustle of the metro life.

One of the must-visit places that’s just a few kilometers away from Manila is the Loreland Farm Resort.

Located in San Roque, Antipolo, Loreland offers a promising get-away for those who want to experience spiritual rejuvenation, as well as total wellness or a moment to reconnect with Mother Nature.

A cozy spot for the tired soul, the 8-hectare farm resort has its own chapel and Stations of the Cross for families and groups who are planning for a prayer retreat. It also offers five swimming pools, 50 room accommodations plus cottages, in-house restaurant, function halls, and a convenience store.

Moreover, as it is situated amidst the rolling hills and green landscapes of Antipolo, the resort’s hanging garden and spa, also called "Luljetta's." may delight one’s senses for its naturally sculpted beauty as it overlooks the skyline of Metro Manila and Laguna De Bay. It boasts of three infinity pools, hydro massage, heated Jacuzzi, and a hanging garden restaurant.

But for the adventure-seekers, there’s Camp Tipolo Adventureland, a 12-hectare outdoor team-building park that is located inside Loreland. It offers adrenaline-pumping activities such as the Tarzan Jump, Spider Web, Balancing Log, Mudslide, Hanging Bridge, Tight Rope, and X-trail.

Strategically positioned along Bo Colaique, the resort also puts the city's major attractions within easy reach, including the Antipolo Cathedral, which is only 3 kilometers away from the resort.

For those searching for a soulful place this summer, Loreland Farm Resort is indeed the place to be with its breathtaking scenery and recreational spots that are perfect reflection and relaxation.
