Immerse in the healing wonders of nature at Eastland Heights, a rising township in Antipolo by Global-Estate Resorts, Inc
Ecotherapy, or the concept of healing by communing with nature, isn’t exactly new. At certain points in our lives, we’ve all craved the enveloping peace and quiet of verdant sceneries, hoping those same merits take root within our restless minds and bodies. Perhaps it’s due to the pandemic’s lingering impact or the city’s ever-increasing congestion, but we’re also starting to wonder how to turn these unmistakable benefits into something more lasting, one that is capable of enriching our every day in immeasurable ways.
Guided by this very idea, Megaworld subsidiary and tourism estate developer Global-Estate Resorts, Inc (GERI) has master-planned a sprawling 640-hectare development called Eastland Heights in Antipolo. A mountainside sanctuary, this invigorating, new township ensures that soothing breezes, endless greenery, and the mellow chorus of chirping birds will always welcome you home.

“The demand for living spaces near or nestled within nature continues to grow, especially as the world recovers from a global pandemic that forced us all to reassess our way of life,” shares Karen Piolo-Arcilla, vice president for sales and marketing at Megaworld Global Estate, Inc. Thus espousing a lifestyle that wholly embraces slower-paced comforts and the unrivalled marvels of the outdoors, GERI has curated a host of amenities and residential spaces that solidify Eastland Heights as a pioneering ecotherapy-centric community in the Philippines.
Amidst the lush Antipolo address are venues to enjoy with the whole family and the kindred spirits you’ll likely meet next door. There are aeroponic farms to showcase your green thumb at, gardens and pet parks for leisurely walks, as well as designated grounds for outdoor sports and camping activities. Coupled further with soon-to-rise cafes, wine cellars, and a themed retail hub in the area, all of these purvey a nature-filled life with health and wellness at the crux of it.

It follows that the new residential offerings within Eastland Heights deliver this concept in distinct ways. Unveiled early this year, The Daintree Residences is a 12.6-hectare village that takes inspiration from the Daintree Rainforest Park in Queensland, Australia. With 200 lots on offer, The Daintree Residences makes a fitting choice for discerning homeowners who have much to reap from the amenities in the enclave. These include meditation and medicinal plant gardens, a village clubhouse, a pet park and playground, as well as jogging and bike paths.

Growing families in Eastland Heights will also have one less worry, as the development will soon be home to a new campus of Bannister Academy, a private, co-ed IB (International Baccalaureate) World School open to learners from preschool and Grades 1 to 12. Occupying a 1.1-hectare plot of land, the school will feature state-of-the-art facilities including laboratories, a library, a music room, a football field, a basketball court, and an amphitheatre where plays can be staged.
GERI recently opened a tropical-themed resort in the mountainside township as well, ensuring that residents need not travel far for their relaxing getaways. The Springs is a sprawling destination with various experiences and amenities in-store, from swimming pools and cabanas to private spa rooms and massage huts.
