It's officially summer which means it's time to take that well-deserved vacation! If you haven't got anything in mind yet why don't you check out these peaceful resorts in Batangas that will make you feel as though you're vacationing abroad?

In a recently uploaded episode of I Juander, motorist backpacker Ronald Lagbo went on a motorcycling adventure to discover these resorts in Batangas that pay homage to countries such as Indonesia, The Netherlands, and Greece.

First on his list is this Bali-inspired resort in Lipa City, Batangas. Enter Cintai Corito's Garden. The place is filled with humongous Buddha statues which can also be seen in numerous temples in Bali, Indonesia. For only PhP2,300, tourists can experience the resort's signature Indonesian massage with lunch included.

Gelene Irish Pasia, sales and marketing executive at Cintai Corito's Garden, explains, “Ang Cintai ang meaning nya is 'love' in English. Then Corito's Garden is the name of the owner. The family gusto talaga nila mag-travel around the world. Ang favorite place nila to go to is Bali, Indonesia.”

The next destination on Ronald's list is this resort in Balete, Batangas that is a nod to The Netherlands. Only 30 minutes away from Lipa, the Old Grove Farmstead pays homage to the common attractions of The Netherlands: their red barns and windmills. For only PhP750, tourists can roam around the place, eat a scrumptious lunch spread, and take selfies with the sheep.

Last stop for Ronald's motor adventure is this Greece-inspired resort in Mabini, Batangas. More than an hour's drive from Lipa, Camp Netanya is the dubbed "Little Santorini of Batangas" because its architecture pays homage to the Grecian destination. For only PhP2000, guests can embark on numerous relaxing water activities such as snorkeling and kayaking, and use amenities available at the resort.
