These escapist vacation villas embody the comfort and luxury of a true sanctuary
From lush verdure to soothing seaside escape, the Philippines is home to plenty of incredible panoramas. To take advantage of these, travellers looking for a comfortable stay may prefer a villa or a rented home over a hotel room. Not only do villas and homes afford guests more space, but they also allow for a variety of scenic views from all around the locale. Neither can we forget that luxurious villas and homes allow guests more privacy, and thereby more quality time with loved ones and companions.

Treehouse de Valentine
It’s no secret that nature can heal the soul. For the ultimate retreat, venture to Cebu island, and escape to the Treehouse de Valentine. Romantic and serene, this incredible space offers guests the chance to dine in the heart of nature, bathe in a wooden bathtub or go for a swim in your very own private river.
Constructed mainly with wood, the Treehouse de Valentine features a rustic balcony that overlooks a gentle river. Those looking to melt their worries away can also spend an afternoon swinging around on the hammocks on their riverside patio. Alfresco spaces take advantage of the fresh air; as such, guests can expect the living room and kitchen to follow this design. Those who choose to spend their holiday here can also request for the onsite manager to arrange local tours to nearby restaurants and landmarks before heading back to the idyllic seclusion of the treehouse at night.
