Gone for the Weekend: Anvaya Cove

It’s another girlfriend getaway trip for the weekend! This time, it’s at the beautiful Anvaya Cove in Bataan.

The trip getting there was quite long but the scenery along the SCTEX and the gigantic trees and awesome foliage through Subic made it all worth it—and it helped that I was just in the passenger seat and not actually driving. As a suggestion, leave Manila as early as you can. The trip took us more than 5 hours since we stopped over for lunch and we got stuck in traffic due to an accident along NLEX. Without any stopovers, you can reach Anvaya from Manila in less than 3 hours.

The Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club is an ultra exclusive members-only resort and residential community in Morong, Bataan developed by Ayala Land Premier. That said, special thanks go to B. because without her, this getaway would not have been possible 😉

Three of us (including me) stayed in a Garden Room while the other three were in an Anvaya Suite, complete with a super roomy king size bed, living room, and patio (all the better for late night card games!). Only a maximum of three persons are allowed in each room and they seem to be very strict about this policy.

Other facilities include a spa, library lounge (with lots of board games), and a business lounge.

The place is also perfect for runners, especially in the morning. The Asian-Tropical minimalist design of the pavilions and villas seemed to just blend in to the natural scenery. It was luxurious and well-maintained but not too manicured and stylized.

Aside from the sprawling pool, Anvaya boasts one of the nicest beaches around. The sand is not at all white and is in fact quite blackish, but it was surprisingly powdery. And the powder soft sand extends even far out to the waters of the cove, making it perfect for swimming, especially at low tide. Not surprisingly, the rest of the afternoon was spent by the beach then the pool then drinking cocktails by the pool 🙂 (while Nes and Ash were busily eating their chicken nachos inside!) This is indeed the life 🙂 Nothing more to say, except that it was a great weekend. 🙂 Cheers!

How to Get to Anvaya Cove:

From NLEX, take the SCTEX Exit, enter the Subic Freeport Zone through the Subic-Tipo toll gate. Once inside Subic, go in the direction of the Subic Airport/Morong gate, then exit Subic through the Morong Gate. When you see a fork in the road, keep left. Keep on driving until you see the Anvaya Cove gate on your right.

You can go to Anvaya only with a member or as an unaccompanied guest (for certain seasons and with conditions). For rates and other details, please click here.
