Tagaytay is one of the most peculiar destinations in the Philippines. Just a few hours’ drive away from Metro Manila, Tagaytay is mountainside town that sits on the crater of a volcanic lake, which holds an active volcano inside of it.
Taal Volcano, one of the smallest volcanoes and most active volcanoes in the Philippines, is the centrepiece of this cliffside town – which offers incredible views, great food and plenty of excellent luxury resorts.Tagaytay Highlands, an exclusive country club which is home to one of the most beautiful golf courses in the Philippines, is a main draw for the jet set of Metro Manila. Here you can enjoy indulgent spa treatments, golf amidst beautiful alpine landscapes, and plenty of family-friendly activities too.
