Being able to live close to nature is a luxury in itself. Feeling the breeze by the sea while hearing the calm waves crash is a healing experience that washes away the worries of our busy lives momentarily. However, for a lot of people living near the beaches in San Juan, Batangas, this is an experience that is part of their daily lives. This is just one of the benefits of living in this municipality.
Pristine beaches
Known for its popular white-sand Laiya Beach, the municipality of San Juan is a place frequented by tourists looking for a relaxing escape where they can lounge by the beach and enjoy other water activities. For those wanting a quieter getaway, Hugom Beach is another alternative you can visit in this municipality.
Whether it’s a weekend relaxation, watersports or just enjoying the breathtaking ocean view with a wonderful change of scenery, visiting the pristine waters of San Juan provides a daily escape from everyday urban living with their calming rhythm. For its residents, the tranquility of its coastline is something they enjoy all year round.
Outdoor Adventure Opportunities
San Juan isn’t just beaches, it’s also a starting point for outdoor adventures. The municipality offers access to lush mountains and nature trails. One example is the lush nature trails such as Mount Daguldol which can be trekked to spectacular views over the coastline and verdant forests. The hike is moderate and safe for both beginners and experienced hikers.
Rich culture
Aside from being abundant in natural resources, San Juan is also a municipality that has a rich culture and can keep its traditions alive. An example of this would be its Lambayok Festival which showcases the town’s agricultural roots—lambanog (coconut wine), palayok (clay pot), and karitela (horse-drawn carriage). It is simple for residents to dip into this energetic local culture to discover engaging and inspiring experiences.
Better Accessibility to Modern Amenities
Despite offering residents and visitors a sense of rural tranquility, the strategic location of San Juan makes it accessible to modern services. Lipa City in the same province is a short drive away, which houses basic establishments, as well as hospital schools and business centers among others. Notably, there has also been considerable development in San Juan itself, complete with its local businesses making services and goods aimed at the needs of those who live there.
Another good thing about its location is that it is also only a few hours’ drive from Metro Manila, making it accessible for work or leisure trips to the city. Additionally, being located in the province of Batangas also makes it accessible to tourist destinations in CALABARZON such as Taal Lake and the famous diving spots in Anilao.
Affordable cost of living
The simple lifestyle in San Juan offers a more affordable way of living than compared to Metro Manila and other urbanized cities. From beachfront to rural, real estate options are available at very competitive prices. It is also generally lower everyday expenses, such as food and transportation, which makes it a practical choice for families, retirees, and working from home.
As it offers the calm of a coastal community blended with its rich culture and accessibility to more urbanized areas, living in San Juan allows you to enjoy the beauty of nature while still being relatively close to the conveniences you need.
