Tagaytay has earned its reputation as the Metro Manila staycation capital for good reason: it is close enough to reach after work on a Friday, yet distant enough to feel like a genuine escape.

At Luxa Stays, we take the Tagaytay staycation seriously. Our properties are not generic rental homes — they are carefully curated spaces designed to deliver a premium, hotel-quality experience with the privacy and flexibility of a private home.

Whether you're planning a barkada weekend, a family holiday, or a solo retreat, Tagaytay offers something rare: cool air, dramatic natural beauty, excellent dining, and a pace that actually allows you to rest.

Our Luxa Villa accommodates groups of up to 15, with a private heated pool overlooking Taal Lake. The Luxa House offers a more intimate escape for couples and small families in the lush hills of Silang.
