Anvaya Cove Beach & Nature Club

Located at Morong, Bataan, the Anvaya Cove Beach & Nature Club is for the exclusive use of its members that they can extend to their families. It has a Tropical-Asian theme with the natural backdrop of the mountains and with the ocean at the other side. They have the beach to boast off and at the same time they also have a lagoon. Both offer recreational activities for the members. They have an eco trail, ziplines, rope course and camping grounds for the adventurous. There is a cafe, a spa area, cottages and rooms where you can check in.

In a cloudy friday morning of July, we have our hopes for a sunny afternoon to take a dip into the ocean, as we travel from Manila to Bataan. On our way to the Club, we are all too happy to pass by the picturesque mountainous and forested area of Subic. What a view to behold.... via the new SCTEX, we are able to drive thru the place smoothly.
When we arrive, we are delighted to ride a golf cart from the clubhouse to our room at a far end of the club. The carts will take us to where we want to go-- we just have to call. Bamboo, trees and other plants nestle beside the rooms and the suites giving the place a natural peaceful ambience. The ocean is shallow so we are able to linger in the water for quite sometime. There is also a pool you can enjoy, a lookout tower where you ogle out into the ocean and a bar for partygoers. The place offers all the comforts of a vacation you can think of. Thankfully, we know someone who is a club member =)

Mt. Samat


Bataan is a province of the Philippines occupying the whole of Bataan Peninsula on Luzon. The province is part of the Central Luzon region. The capital of Bataan is Balanga City and is bordered by the provinces of Zambales and Pampanga to the north. The peninsula faces South China Sea to the west and encloses its arm, Manila Bay, to the east. (wikipedia)

Bataan will always be remembered as the place where one of the fierce battles of World War II occurred. The Battle of Bataan is famous in history. It was one of the last stands of the American and Filipino soldiers before they were overwhelmed by the Japanese forces. In fact a 95-meter-high cross called the “Dambana ng Kagitingan” was built at the top of Mt. Samat in memory of those who perished in the war. Relic of artilleries can be found here at Mt. Samat. There are several old cannons displayed in this mountain. A museum has been created to house small artilleries, ammunitions and other memorabilia of the war. According to the caretaker of the museum, when the Japanese forces invaded this mountain not a single human being survived. Bataan fell on April 9 and the infamous Bataan Death March began. Around 70,000 captured American and Filipino soldiers were forced to march more than a hundred kilometers from Bataan to Tarlac.

Other attractions in Bataan are the Death March markers, fine beaches in Bagac and Morong, Mount Natib, Abucay Church, and the aborted nuclear power plant in Morong to name a few.
