A perfect getaway, an ideal remedy
In times like these, wouldn’t it be nice if you can simply whisk yourself to a private getaway, where you can just be surrounded by seemingly endless open spaces, breathe in some cool fresh air, enjoy some time off grid, and somehow be less worried of contracting the dreaded COVID-19?
With Metro Manila under another lockdown—and the strictest one at that—a getaway somewhere exclusive sounds like the perfect remedy for your health and well-being.
Right outside Baguio City is Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges, an 82-ha masterplanned development that can fittingly offer you a peaceful, upscale sanctuary 5,300 feet above sea level, enabling you to simply revel in the beauty and bounty of nature.
Alphaland COO Mike Asperin shares that there’s nothing quite like the feeling of waking up to see a sea of clouds literally below you and the breathtaking vistas of beautiful mountains—in fact, on a clear day, you can see Mt. Pulag from Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges. It’s a wow experience, he says, to simply enjoy a truly fresh breeze—that’s pollution-free mountain air—while watching the sun rise.
“The potential is great. We see Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges as a place where people would want to come to relax. And it’s starting to happen. Now, it’s becoming a wedding destination as well. Those who come here to visit the chapel are overwhelmed when they see the vistas because you won’t see anything as pristine as this,” Asperin explains.

And there’s more where that came from as they have thousands in their nurseries ready for planting once these grow to four feet high.

This means that while the loghouse itself is owned by the buyer or investor, the land will be proportionately owned by all the target 300 homeowners.
What’s good is that Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges places a premium on health, safety and security, giving homeowners that much needed peace of mind. Stringent health and safety protocols are implemented to ensure the well-being of all residents, while the property is completely encircled by a perimeter fence to provide absolute security for homeowners, with outposts built along a perimeter road.
As of June this year, there are already 49 fully built up homes and quadruplex lodges, offering modern conveniences along with the rustic quaint charm of the old Baguio City, says Asperin. The target is to have 300 homes.
Buyers and investors can choose from five designs for single-family homes, which can have four, five or six bedrooms. The quadruplex lodge meanwhile offers three-bedroom units.
Each home is guaranteed to maximize the views of the surrounding pine-forested mountains and will be turned over fully furnished, at par of course with the Alphaland standard—stove, appliances, two fireplaces, furniture, decorative furnishings, luxury bed + bath linens, a Japanese hot tub and a sauna. Each home will also be constructed from imported western cedar or pine logs from Scandinavia.
Amenities here include the Clubhouse Inn where you can find a grand fireplace, several sitting and lounging areas, a karaoke room, a fully stocked bar, two indoor dining areas, outdoor dining area, as well as 12 suites here that offer magnificent mountain views. There’s also a mini sports center and helipads, while key services are offered on demand.
