Weekend Getaways Near Manila: Staycations in Tagaytay-Alfonso You’ll Love
Living in Metro Manila can be exhausting—traffic, deadlines, and the daily grind. That’s why I make it a point to sneak in short getaways whenever I can. One of my go-to spots? Tagaytay-Alfonso.
It’s close enough for a spontaneous weekend trip (just about 1.5 to 2 hours away), but far enough to give you that fresh-air-and-peace-of-mind kind of vibe.
Whether you’re planning a chill couple’s retreat or just need a quick barkada escape from the city noise, here are three places I recently checked out—and honestly, I wouldn’t mind going back again.
Enriquez Villas and Resort
This private villa in Alfonso, Cavite gave me serious home-away-from-home vibes. It’s a 5-room villa with its own pool, air-conditioned rooms with bathrooms, and a huge living and dining area—perfect for big groups or family reunions.
The place is styled like a modern Filipino resthouse slash a Bali vibe with relaxing neutral tones, wooden accents, and a cozy outdoor area. We spent the night grilling, singing karaoke, and just chilling by the pool under the stars.
Rate: Around ₱12,000 to 20,000 per night for the whole place (good for 12–15 pax)

Silvinas Cabin and Resort
If you’re looking for a quiet escape with major rustic charm, Silvinas Cabin in Tagaytay might just be your new favorite spot. The moment we arrived, I got serious Baguio vibes—think pine trees, crisp mountain air, and nothing but greenery all around.
I stayed in one of their family rooms. It was the kind of peaceful that makes you forget your phone exists. They’ve also got a pool with a view and a bunch of IG-worthy corners around the property. Billiards table (for rent per hour) and they have their own restaurant offering breakfast and other food.
Perfect for couples, solo staycationers or with the family who just want to breathe and be still for a while.

If you’re all about that positive energy, then The Kawa Nook is totally your vibe. Tucked away in nature, this dreamy spot feels like a slice of Bali—minus the plane ticket. And yes, they have an actual kawa bath, complete with herbs and flowers!
Their cozy cabins are decked out in boho-chic decor, using natural textures that make you feel instantly at ease. I spent the afternoon soaking in a warm kawa tub while looking out at the trees, and honestly? It was the reset I didn’t know I needed.
Whether you’re escaping with your partner or just craving a solo self-care break, this place is a hidden gem.
