This beachfront villa is well-suited for a large family, as it can accommodate up to eight people in its three bedrooms. Located on a semi-private beach, you can choose to take a dip, do some kayaking, or just lounge around. It is perfect for a family staycation as kids can be entertained in a play area or at a fish pond. There is also a big tree house where the family can enjoy meals together or simply watch the day go by. The villa comes with an outdoor kitchen so it is best to purchase food supplies before coming here.

We stayed on Jan 15-18 and was very happy to have chosen the location - so peaceful and quiet just what we needed. We were welcomed by Peejay who was so warm and accommodating. We were taken care of by Jasmine and Ayzel who cooked and cleaned for us everyday - very much spoiled I must say. We are already missing them and the place ! On our last night we were able to join the local fishermen with their catch .. so memorable experience for us. Our stay was made comfortable by everyone from the van driver to and from Calapan and from the jeepney driver to and from Puerto Galera. We never had any problems with all our requests. We will definitely come back and stay longer ! Highly recommended ! Lucy, stayed January 2017

This beautiful place made our boracay vacation even better. We traversed through a storm and dealt with some flight delays but upon seeing this villa in person, it made our trip worthwhile. The kitchen is stocked with almost everything we needed. Cooking here was fun. The welcome basket was very generous that we didn’t get to finish it. Marina was very helpful arranging our transfer. The helpers made sure we returned to the house the way we came in the first day - all clean and neat. The place is 5mins away from diniwid beach which is a more quiet spot. Station 1 is easily accessible from there. Joan, stayed November 2016
4. Sambali beach house in Botolan, Zambales (from 317 USD; 25 USD per person mandatory food cost)
This villa provides something more than your usual jaunt to the beach. Aside from being able to accommodate up to 16 guests, it also offers buffet meals and snacks that are organic and locally-sourced from the nearby farm. The owners are believers in the farm to table approach in food, so for a food cost of 25 USD per person, you can enjoy three meals and two snacks served in an abundant buffet set-up. However, this is mandatory, so you’ll have to take a break from cooking for yourself. The beach is only a few meters away, so guests can take a dip or explore the beach.
The house is decorated with hardwood and a traditional local material called “sawali.” There is also a beautiful gazebo that can double as additional accommodations for larger groups of more than 16. Located in Botolan, Zambales, it can be reached via private car through the North Luzon Expressway or via bus from Manila. Once in Botolan, tricycles can take you to the beach house.
