Villa Jovita: Bali of the South

This September the resort opens its Bali inspired corner to everyone.

There’s no need to fly to Bali to get an instagrammable photo. In fact, Villa Jovita did a pretty great job at creating this Bali corner. Anyone who sees your photo would think you really did go to Bali. When I went there, we were joking about ‘checking in’ at Bali when we post our photos on Facebook. Haha.

Just look at these photos.

The resorts Bali inspired corner more than exceeded my expectations. It’s like getting transported to a magical place that you never want to leave from.

At first, the swing might look a bit daunting, but the moment you’re up in the air, you’d wish it went on and on and on. The view is beautiful and combined with the fresh air hitting your face, it all feels amazing!

If it were up to me, I’d rent the nest for the night and sleep there. Hahaha. It’s just so cute and well made, you’ll want to take a gazillion photos.

I’d love to come back here. It’s like my small happy place. *insert smiley

When I went to the resort, there was only another group and me. Needless to say, I had tons of fun walking around the resort and swimming.

The staffs were very accommodating, and I even had the chance to meet Miss Mariza, the resort owner. She was very friendly and kind in assisting me with the Bali inspired corner of the resort. And since I was all alone, she was the one who took these awesome photos of myself.

I’m forever thankful Miss Mariza.

Amenities

Aside from the Bali inspired corner, the resort has five natural pools. The deepest is at 5ft. There’s also a recently built pool which has a slide. If you’re a group, there are tables and cottages for rent for the day. There are also shower areas and toilets in the resort so be sure to bring your shampoos, towels, and soaps.

That stuff floating on the pools are leaves and petals from the nearby plants.

After going to Villa Jovita, you can opt to visit Taal Heritage Town which is just a few minutes away. You can either ride a tricycle or a jeepney heading to Lipa and drop off here. Taal Heritage Town is the so-called ‘Vigan of the South’ with its abundance of ancestral houses lining the streets. You will also see here the biggest cathedral church in Asia. And if you want to enjoy a cup of coffee, check out Cafe G. It’s a pretty cute cafe – definitely instagrammable!
Reserve your room before going.
It’s best to visit during the weekdays to avoid the crowd.
