Cavinti Laguna summer destinations


'Biyahe ni Drew' featured three destinations in Laguna where you can rest, relax, and rent a whole island!

Biyahe ni Drew traveled south of Metro Manila to explore the hidden gems of Laguna's eco-tourism capital, the town of Cavinti.

In its recent episode, the team featured three destinations in Lake Lumot where you can rest, relax, and even rent the whole island!

Paradis Island

Paradis Island promises a romantic escape with its Bohemian-inspired ambiance that is definitely Instagram-worthy at every angle.

This private island houses two villas, and as owner Maureen Grace Usacdin explains, the package starts at "PhP 5,900 a night and then it covers three people. And then every additional guest would be PhP 1,000."

The package also includes access to their amenities such as the glamping tent and tree house, and activities like swimming, kayaking, and taking a hot kawa bath.

Isla Maria

On the other side of Lake Lumot, Isla Maria offers a colorful and playful atmosphere which is perfect for a fun-filled barkada getaway.

For only PhP 800 per head, you can already own the whole Isla Maria for a day! According to one of their staff, “Maraming kasamang activities 'yun--unli kayak, tapos may fishing, island hopping, unli videoke, tapos 'yung hatid-sundo kasama na po.”

Mahatao Island

For those who are bit low on budget yet still want an island accommodation, Mahatao Island is perfect for you.

For just PhP 500, you can already chill at their floating nipa hut or revel at the beautiful sunset view on their floating swing.

“Actually, 'yung sunset po kasi dito very nice kaya very chill po dito. Kapag every lulubog 'yung araw, okay po mag-chill sa swing,” said the owner of the property, Faith Acosta.

On top of that, their PhP 5,000 package -- which is good for 10 persons -- already includes unlimited kalamansi picking!

“Puwede po nila i-uwi [ang kalamansi]. 'Yun na po 'yung parang souvenir namin sa mga guests namin na nandito,” Acosta explained.
