Relatively the youngest among the brood of developed resort towns in Batangas, Calatagan still maintains its laidback atmosphere that is rare to the more popular and mainstream coastal towns like Nasugbu, San Juan, Lian, and Mabini. Eliciting an exclusive village aura, the town still has that indie vibe that is ideal for those looking for a quieter weekend beach destination, especially during the summer season.
Comfortably nestled on a peninsula, the town faces the Verde Island Passage on one side and the Balayan Bay on the other. Its most distinct characteristic is its shallow waters, even more pronounced during low tide. Some visitors take a stroll for several meters from the shore, sometimes even reaching the reef drop-off zone! This makes its beaches appealing to those traveling with kids.
Resorts & hotels lining the Calatagan shore caters to different types of holiday-goers. Some attracts beach campers, others offer full-service facilities. Furthermore, certain properties also provide venues for special occasions and gatherings such as weddings and company outings.
Heading to Calatagan to get some “vitamin sea” or celebrate a special occasion? Here are the top resorts, hotels, and accommodations in Calatagan as rated by online users, in no particular order.
