Kabayan Beach Resort

Kabayan Beach Resort (formerly Laplaya Beach Resort) opened in 1996. As with every other endeavor, Kabayan Beach Resort started small. In fact, it was initially just a rest house for the owners who wanted occasional breaks from the hustle and bustle in the metropolis. The serenity of being in the midst of clear blue waters and fine white sand never failed to rejuvenate them. Eventually, they were encouraged to share their place and provide areas where people can recharge and soothe frayed nerves...

Kabayan started by building two small fan cottages and a pavilion. Not long after, demand for more cottages grew not only from private individuals but from corporate clients as well. Now, Kabayan Beach Resort boasts of 19 well-appointed air-conditioned cottages and a multi-purpose hall for social and corporate requirements such as parties, weddings, seminars, and the like.

Kabayan Beach Resort is a pioneer in many ways. They were the very first resort built along the white sand beach of Laiya, San Juan Batangas. When others followed and built fan cottages as well, Kabayan upgraded their cottages and built air-conditioned ones. Soon after, others followed suit. Still, Kabayan managed to come up with services and amenities that are uniquely theirs —a few of which are: KTV rooms, a television set with cable service at the pavilion and in all of the cottages, a chapel with anticipated mass every Saturday, dormitories and a multi-purpose hall for seminars, a beach side bar, and a swimming pool for adults and children. Needless to say, Kabayan Beach Resort constantly strives to establish better standards of products and service—all for the continued satisfaction of their guests.

Kabayan Beach Resort takes pride in the amenities/ activities they have made available for guests’ pleasure and enjoyment. One will always find an activity suited to one’s personal style— whether slow and quiet, or action-packed—because Kabayan caters to the varied interests of its guests.

Matabungkay Beach Resorts

A long brown sand beach that goes for 5-kilometers, located at the town of Lian, Batangas in front of the China Sea. Well-liked among local and foreign tourist alike. It’s clear waters ideal for water sports such as yachting, swimming, boating, fishing and skin diving. Along the beach are several summer cottages. Excursions are presented by local boatmen to Fortune Island, an uninhabited isle off the coast. It is feasible to rent floating bamboo picnic huts anchored out over the reef, which is a good base for snorkelling and partying.

The experience of having white beach, a beautiful sunset and the unsophisticated atmosphere made Matabungkay a drive-away beach destination for tourists coming from Manila and nearby provinces. It is also one of favourite destinations of call center parties or team-building activities.

The area has little to offer other than swimming and watching the sunset but good enough for an inexpensive trip. Unlike other beaches, Matabungkay offers practical options for low-budget vacationers. Families who are incapable to afford costly restaurants bring their barbeque sets and cook their food the way they want at the beach or at their rented open cottages. Others spend their day barbecuing on the shaded raft floating several meters off the shore. These floating sheds are rented out by villagers which they remark a purely Matabungkay way of picnicking.

For posh tourists, they can choose from luxurious resorts located along the right strip of the beach.
