Story of Tirta Spring Villa
Only a 1- to 1.5-hour car ride from Manila to Los Banos, Laguna via SLEX, Tirta Spring Villas is located inside Lakewood Estates, a gated subdivision where there are roving guards and a guardhouse, making the place safe for guests. The property has a total of 4 car slots inside. It also 8 perimeter cctv cameras for enhanced security and extra peace of mind.
“Tirta” is a Sanskrit word meaning sacred or holy water. Hot spring water is an abundant resource found at the foot of Mount Makiling and in the Los Banos area. We found it enchanting that there exists a place with a majestic mountain view and abundant hot spring water (70-90degrees) just an hour away from Manila. We frequent the Los Banos area for hiking, trekking, and swimming. We were quite familiar with the place and wanted to share the experience with others. We have a #dreamteam of partners who are all very hands-on at Tirta Springs.
We have 2 hoteliers on the team, both with extensive 5-star hotel background. An architect partner with comprehensive experience in beautiful high-end projects, who fell in love with the place at first sight visit. Our other partner is an obsessive-compulsive mother who willingly took up the challenge of operations and housekeeping to make sure the property is very clean and sanitized for every guest.
