Lakeside Hut in an Island for 2 (Exclusive Stay)

“Isla Serenidad” offers an exclusive private island adventure and retreat away from the city life. It is an unspoiled, off-grid, semi-secluded, and self-catered private island in Lumot Lake, just few hours away from the metro. It can be reached by a 7-minute private boat ride with a serene view of the Lumot Lake and the Mount Banahaw. The island is quite huge and is surrounded by trees and a freshwater lake. There is no WiFi in the island, but you'll find a better connection with nature, yourself, family and friends. You can go fishing (bring your own rods), lake swimming (with life vests provided), kite flying, bring a Frisbee or soccer ball, read a book, write a blog or novel, organize your life plans, unplug from the city life, or just unwind on a hammock underneath a tree.
