Your private sanctuary by the sea
Summer is the season of escape—a time to unwind, recharge, and enjoy life at a slower pace.
But not all vacations are equal. The best ones? They happen in places that feel like they’re entirely yours, those that offer a sense of exclusivity. There is something special about staying in a property like this, where privacy is not an issue, amenities are yours alone to enjoy, and every detail is designed for comfort and ease just for you and your people.
One with nature
Faith Sanctuary Resort in Botolan, Zambales captures this experience perfectly.
This private resort features four tropical huts—three rooms as well as a dining area—complemented by amenities that are designed to be one with nature such as outdoor showers, pocket gardens, and a swimming pool.
The huts themselves are a modern reimagining of the traditional bahay kubo—a structure inherently suited to the Philippines’ tropical climate. Embracing open spaces, large windows, and glass doors, the design encourages natural ventilation and invites in abundant sunlight.
Native materials enhance the warm, organic feel, while conveniences of contemporary touches ensure a high level of ease and functionality. The result is a space that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but is also exceptionally comfortable year round.
Sense of seclusion and serenity
Nestled in this quiet coastal town, Faith Sanctuary Resort offers the best of both worlds—just a minute’s walk from the untouched beauty of Botolan Point Beach and framed by the sweeping grandeur of the Zambales mountain range. The beach, a quiet, semi-private stretch of shoreline far from being crowded, offers a sense of seclusion and serenity.
With its clean and clear waters and unobstructed horizon, it’s the perfect vantage point for witnessing some of the country’s most breathtaking sunsets.
Iconic adventures
Botolan also serves as the ideal starting point for one of the country’s most iconic adventures: the Mt. Pinatubo crater tour.
Just 15 minutes from Faith Sanctuary Resort lies Camp Kainomayan, the designated takeoff site. Begin your journey here with an adrenaline-pumping 4×4 ride across dramatic lahar landscapes, followed by a scenic hike that leads to the majestic crater lake—an unforgettable reward at the end of the trail.
If you prefer cooling off, Tukal-Tukal falls is also a great place to visit. This four-level waterfals is named after the Sambal Botolan word “Tukal-Tukal,” which means “step-by-step” or “staircase,” a nod to the falls’ tiered formation.
For a completely different kind of thrill, hop on an ATV and ride through the lahar trails for a rugged and exhilarating adventure across volcanic terrain.
Don’t leave without sampling the local flavors: linga (sesame candies) deliver a sweet, nutty bite that’s beloved by locals, while the famous Zambales mangoes are an absolute must-try.
Private haven
Truly, the best summer vacations are those where you have the freedom to create your own experience.
At Faith Sanctuary Resort, you are given your own private haven–a place where you can unwind at your own pace, immerse yourself in nature, and enjoy the luxury of complete control over your time and surroundings.
