Why, you say?
Because everything we need for our retirement is over there!
• the cost of living is amazingly affordable
• the climate is mild (not too hot/not too cold)
• living is “safe and secure” (like anywhere in the world)
• the people speak English, no need to learn a new language
• people are friendly, hospitable, warm and somewhat “Westernized”
• majority of the people are Christian, so there are no dietary laws to observe
• the country is lovely and the night life in the city is alive
• so many more other reasons!This little country seems to be the best place for retirement!

MUNTING BUHANGIN BEACH CAMP
Munting Buhangin has extensive sports and recreational facilities for guests.
The sand in Munting Buhangin is light brown and pure. No pebbles or corals to prick your feet. The sun is in perfect supply, kissing our skin golden; and the Sea isn’t too salty, it didn’t hurt the eyes too much.
Aside from the clear, unspoiled beach and warm camp, Munting Buhangin Beach Camp’s 24-hectare property features a more active, challenging and fun-filled nature-based learning experience.
The nature trail gives access to the world of plants, flowers and other forms of wildlife. Further exploration of the forest familiarizes one with the generic names of the existing floras and faunas and interesting treks will lead to new discoveries that only nature can offer.
STILTS CALATAGAN BEACH RESORT
STILTS Calatagan Beach Resort is set amidst twenty four (24) hectares of rolling hills and white sand beaches, near Cape Santiago and Palo Bandera Point. Inspired by the pre-colonial era when natives used to construct their houses on stilts above the waters of Balayan Bay, STILTS’ unique attractions are its eight (8) cottages perched on stilts over the water. Overlooking the South China Sea, each cottage has a private veranda where you can enjoy gentle breezes and picture perfect views of the sea and the aquamarine seabed. For those who can’t wait to get into the water, each cottage also has its own wooden stairs leading straight down to the sea.
With long stretches of white sand on both sides of the resort, there is a wide array of activities to choose from – swimming, beach volleyball, snorkeling, fishing or simply sitting back, relaxing and soaking up the sun’s rays. The resort will soon offer scuba diving lessons for interested guests.
