For many of us in the metro, a quick drive south to Tagaytay is the ultimate reset button—an escape from the city heat into crisp highland air and sweeping views of Taal Volcano. Usually, a Tagaytay weekend follows a predictable script: check into a hotel, snap a few photos of the lake, and hop in the car to brave traffic for dinner.
Splendido Tagaytay Hotel & Country Club is flipping that script. Located along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Highway in Laurel, Batangas (just minutes from the main Tagaytay ridge), this sprawling property is reimagining what a highland getaway looks like by bringing hospitality, sports, community events, and culinary experiences together in one self-contained destination.
From Golf Enclave to Full-Scale Lifestyle Destination
Originally established as a premier residential and golf community anchored by its championship 18-hole golf course, Splendido has long been a quiet sanctuary for golfers and country club members looking to avoid the congestion of central Tagaytay.
Today, under the management of Enderun Hotels—the luxury hospitality and property management group known for curating refined destination experiences across the Philippines—Splendido has entered an exciting new chapter. Rather than operating solely as a quiet golf retreat, the 172-room property is opening its doors wider to families, weekend warriors, fitness communities, and corporate groups. As Resident Manager Rey C. Pajarito Jr. puts it, the goal is to create a complete destination where guests can “stay, play, dine, work, relax, connect, and celebrate” without ever needing to leave the gates.
Rooms, Facilities, and Overall Aesthetic
If you appreciate classic country-club charm paired with breathtaking natural scenery, Splendido’s aesthetic hits the right note. Tucked away from the bustle of the main highway, the property leans into relaxed, laid-back highland living surrounded by rolling fairways and mountain greenery.
- The Rooms: The hotel houses 172 spacious, well-appointed rooms ranging from Superior Mountain View rooms to Deluxe Lake View accommodations with private balconies. Waking up to unobstructed views of Taal Lake and Volcano right from your balcony—coffee in hand—is easily one of the property’s biggest draws. Rooms are generously sized for families and barkadas, outfitted with comfortable beds, reliable Wi-Fi, and relaxing bath setups.
- Country Club & Sports Amenities: What truly separates Splendido from standard Tagaytay hotels is its massive Country Club and Family Building setup (connected by a convenient shuttle service). Guests have access to an impressive lineup of indoor and outdoor facilities open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM:
- Courts & Outdoor Play: Basketball, volleyball, badminton, pickleball, and an indoor professional-grade tennis court.
- Indoor Recreation: A modern bowling alley, billiards, table tennis, darts, and private KTV rooms.
- Wellness & Kids: An outdoor swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, spa services, and a dedicated Kids Club / children’s playroom. (Pro tip: While pool and gym access are typically included for hotel guests, court rentals and specialized clubhouse activities carry minimal fees, so be sure to ask at check-in and bring your own rackets if you’re planning a pickleball or badminton match!)
- Dining: You won’t go hungry on the property. Café Soto (on the hotel’s 4th floor) serves up hearty Filipino comfort food and international favorites alongside panoramic views, while Hermosa Restaurant (on the ground floor of the Country Club) offers another convenient spot to refuel after a game. Prefer a lazy night in? 24-hour in-room dining has you covered.

Whether you’re planning a multi-generational family weekend or a company offsite, Splendido hits a rare sweet spot: everything is already on-site.
- For Families: Keeping kids, teens, parents, and grandparents entertained in Tagaytay usually involves a lot of driving. Here, the kids can spend the morning at the Kids Club or pool, older siblings can hit the bowling alley or pickleball courts, and everyone can meet up for dinner at Café Soto or stroll through the Saturday Night Market without sitting in weekend traffic.
- For Corporate Offsites & Team Building: With customizable function rooms, banquet facilities, and flexible short- or long-term stay options, corporate planners can seamlessly blend productivity with play. You can wrap up a morning strategy session or seminar in the function hall and transition straight into an afternoon company sportsfest—complete with friendly tournaments in basketball, badminton, bowling, or billiards—all without coordinating external venue transfers.
