FOR a number of notable individuals that have moved out of their city dwellings — to settle in the outskirts of the metro or to return back to their home provinces, either out of personal choice or circumstances due to the pandemic — most have noted a noticeably positive effect on their physical and mental health.
Others, who went further and pivoted to an irresistible coastal lifestyle by the accessible beach and its accompanying surrounding greeneries, have gained a permanent daily mood and health booster.
A private and sustainable community with a long stretch of beach, waters teeming with marine life and forest-lined mountains, Pico de Loro Cove offers all within walking distance from one's property along Hamilo Coast in Nasugbu, Batangas.
Just a mere 90-minute drive from Metro Manila, Pico de Loro Cove's health and safety protocols, which the estate's development and management have put in place, have transformed it from just being a weekend staycation destination.
The number of homeowners have more than tripled since 2020, as they settled into their new nature-filled, coastal life, considering this seaside haven their new permanent home.
Couple Francisco and Estrelita Chavez, both from an engineering solutions background, only used to be frequent visitors. However, when the lockdowns started, they chose to move to the property.
Retiree Ed Ong has enjoyed the fresh air most of all.
“Because I am surrounded by the sea and mountains here in Hamilo Coast, I am assured that the air I breathe is fresh and organic,” Ong asserted.
For activities, he continued to enjoy uninterrupted and laid-back jogs and strolls around the gardens and the Pico Lagoon.
Hamilo Coast was developed and managed by Costa del Hamilo Inc., a subsidiary of SM Prime.
