The Great Summer Escape 1:

VALLE VERDE MOUNTAIN SPRING RESORT

Ravina Sur, Sibunag, Guimaras, Philippines

by Pepin

A world on its own sitting above the highlands of Guimaras, the picturesque view of Valle Verde Mountain Spring Resort is unlike other summer escape you can find in the region. It is a weekend haven of bliss and relief, especially for busy strangers.

Modelled along massive loads of earth where subtle trees and blossoming bushes are abundant, this spot is perfect for private getaways, group gathering, and any other special occasions as well. It boasts a swimming pool walled with a garden that is set on steps. There is also a spring pool that welcomes guests downhill with glee after enduring a very challenging pathway. This location is also the starting point for more rough trek and mountain hike. And the cottages and pavilions rise on hard ground where anyone can be at the command of nature day and night.
