Welcome to Villa Escudero, a serene retreat just two hours south of Metro Manila—perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of city life. This refreshing countryside getaway invites you to unwind and recharge while immersing yourself in Filipino culture, heritage, and hospitality.

​

Begin your visit with a leisurely tour of the plantation aboard a carabao-drawn cart, serenaded by a traditional folk band. This full-day tour offers a fascinating glimpse into Philippine history, customs, and rural life—along with a taste of authentic local cuisine.

​

Explore the on-site museum, which showcases the Escudero family's extensive private collection of religious, historical, and cultural artifacts—some dating as far back as the pre-Hispanic era. A highlight of the day is lunch at the Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant, where a traditional kamayan (hands-on) feast is served at bamboo tables right at the foot of a gently flowing waterfall. Let the cool spring water rush over your feet as you enjoy a truly unique dining experience.

​

After lunch, take part in outdoor activities like bamboo rafting on the lagoon, or take a refreshing dip in Villa Escudero’s spring-fed swimming pools. Cap off your visit with the Philippine Experience Show, a colorful presentation of native dances from across the country that celebrates the rich tapestry of Filipino culture.
