If you’re planning to go on a getaway you can flaunt on the ‘gram, add The Beach Calatagan in Batangas to your resort options. It has IG-worthy beachfront seats that you can access at a wallet-friendly price.

Swimming in the sea and taking photos for Instagram aren’t everything you can do at the resort.
Day tour pass holders can rent their opaque and clear kayaks as well as their pedal boats. For those seeking an individual water activity, there’s also paddle boarding.
Meanwhile, those who aren’t too keen on navigating in the water may simply jump to their heart’s content on their water trampoline.
