After recovering from our COVID episode last month, we searched for the nearest beach where we can have fresh air, sun, and a different environment. Laiya, San Juan is the nearest beach from Lipa City and it is just a 3-hour drive from Metro Manila.
Camp Laiya has been gaining attention on social media so we decided to book with them. Their cottages and nipa huts are so cozy and have very tropical vibes and their price point is in the affordable range!
