Stilt Beach Resort
Stilts Calatagan Beach is one of the top-rated beach resorts in the province of Batangas. And, because of its overwater villas, this luxury resort was dubbed “The Little Maldives of Batangas.” This 24-hectare property boasts its white sandy beaches, namely Harmony, Serenity, and Destiny. The room accommodation is pricey compared with other resorts in the area but, I guess the ambiance and the view are all worth it.
After payment, were given a map and orange wrist band as proof that we are guests of the resort. The resort staff guided and assisted us in bringing our things to the cottage. The day tour starts from 7 AM until 6 PM.
What to Expect at the Harmony Beach:
The resort offers a day tour wherein visitors can access the beach facilities like the beach and pool area. Most of the day-trippers are accommodated at Harmony Beach. It has a long stretch of white sand with rows of open huts, pavilions, beachfront cottages, and floating villas.
The cottages for the day trippers depend on the number of guests. It has a kitchen sink, table/s and chairs, wall fan/s, griller, and outdoor lounge bamboo chair or hammock. There are available electrical sockets in each cottage for your electrical appliance and gadgets. Restrooms and shower rooms are just nearby in case you need one.
Cottage Rate:
- Big Pavilion – P 3,000 good for 50 persons
- Small Pavilion – P 1,500 good for 20 persons
- Open Huts – P 1,250 good for 15 persons
- Cozy Nooks (Wood tables) – P 600 good for 5 to 10 persons
The Beach: The water is clean and clear, but adults cannot swim or wade in the water as it is very shallow due to low tide. However, kids will enjoy swimming, splashing, and playing around. I did not see any single piece of trash floating on the water, but the seagrass occupied a large portion of the beach. It has creamy white sand but is not powdery. There are seashells scattered around, and walking barefooted gave a relaxing feeling. The resort uses feel-good beach/ocean quotations and wind chimes as beach accessories. There are also lovely plants and flowers everywhere. By the way, the gentle tinkling sound of the wind chimes adds to the relaxing vibes of the surrounding.
The resort allowed small pets without extra charge but must be on a leash. We brought our fur baby, Coco and, since the beach is not that crowded, we unleashed it for a while.
The Infinity Pool Area:
The resort has an impressive infinity pool where you can swim all you want. The kids and the kids at heart enjoyed it so much. It has a very peaceful scenery, with trees and flowers all around the place. There are outdoor showers near the pool area for rinsing off before and after swimming. The water is clear and without a strong smell of chlorine in the pool. The lifeguard on duty is very alert and helpful, particularly to the kids. Guests may use the smaller pools near the restaurant if the infinity pool becomes crowded.
The Restaurant: The open-spaced wooden dining area with a view of the overwater villas offers a relaxing feel. We tried their Pinoy halo-halo, Hamburger, and Pizza as we consumed the corkage fee that we paid at the entrance.
Toilets, Shower, and changing rooms: There are public toilets, showers, and changing cubicles for men and women near the cottage for guests on a day tour. It has a flusher, bidet, and toilet paper in each comfort room. The shower room’s flooring is not slippery, even if it gets wet. The water runs smoothly and uninterrupted.

Looks like you really had a fun beach getaway! I’ve been wanting to visit this place but never got the chance. We’re avoiding places with checkpoints for now, it’s hard to take risks in case we won’t be allowed to pass through after a long travel (we’re from Bulacan). Btw, you’ve got a cutie furbaby out there. Hi Coco!
Hi! I was elated you visitd my site. Yes, it was a brave move going to Batangas that time but Stilts gave us instructions on how to pass through the checkpoint. Thanks for complimenting our pet, Coco.
