Celebrate life, celebrate the world through the resort’s various chalets representing the continents of the world- Chalet d’ Australia, Chalet d’Antartica, Chalet d’Africa, Chalet d’Asia, Chalet d’Europa, and Chalet d’America. The resort can be a nice retreat from busy Manila, a haven to build further your romantic relationships, or spend time with your family.

Jose Rizal spent a happy childhood in Calamba. His family cultivated vast lands leased from the Dominicans. They were the first family to build a stone house and buy another stone house in Calamba.

The original house for the Rizal family was burned when Jose Rizal was already a wanted man by the colonial government. It was restored mainly through the contributions of school children and was inaugurated on June 19, 1950.

5.) Selfie with Calambanga

Calambanga is the Big Claypot icon of Calamba City located near the Calamba Rizal Shrine and St. John The Baptist Church.

6.) Pray at ST. John The Baptist Parish

In this church, the Philippine national hero Dr. Jose Rizal was baptized to the Roman Catholic faith.
