Look at the waves crashing, the breathtaking sunrise and gorgeous sunset, the crystal blue water, the rolling hills and long stretches of white sand beaches. I love the feeling of the grainy sand all under my toes. Guess where I am? Exploring the Maldives of the Philippines! Sure, everyone thinks Stilts is a paradise, and it is. Beautiful swaying palms trees, lovely flowers bursting with color at every turn, and warm, tropical breezes day and night. The island itself is like a fairy-tale garden, an ocean of flowers and exotic trees. Stilts Beach Resort is a perfect sanctuary and secret, magical nooks await.
Harmony and serenity makes Stilts Beach Resort one of the most charming places in Batangas. You can stretch out on the pristine golden-white sand while listening to the pounding of rhythmic waves lapping at the shore, just a few feet from your tanned and contented toes. That rhythmic washing of the waves is the perfect sound to lull your senses into a deep and untroubled sleep, and when you awake, you feel fully refreshed and alive, for the first time in months. The air has the tang of salty freshness that only comes from the sea, and the birds warble and chirp in the dense foliage that surrounds this magical beach. Having the beach to yourself is a treat anywhere but in Batangas, having a pristine beach to yourself is a miracle, and that is only one of the magic of Stilts Beach Resort. Take a walk along the shore and you can see bits and pieces of shells washed up from the reef offshore. Bleached white from the unrelenting tropical sun, they find their way into a pocket as a reminder of this peaceful time. Later, when I’m back at home, I’ll feel them and look at them occasionally to remember my perfect sanctuary. They instantly transport me back to my days in Batangas. I can smell the vivid scent of salt and sea, hear the sound of the waves and feel the blistering sun. If I close my eyes, I can almost hear the roar of the surf, and feel the tiny wavelets tickle my toes before they rush back to their mother ocean.
Finally my day is done until tomorrow calls. Finished. The beach is peaceful. The warmth has gone. The moon has taken over me. The stars popping out of nowhere, lighting up the night’s sky. The only sounds I can hear are the waves crashing on the sleeping sand and the biting and the whistling of the wind, I feel the perfect combination of beauty and serenity, I feel free, free to fly, to enjoy life.
