Marinduque may not be the first thing to come to mind when thinking of a beach getaway, but the island is teeming with places to discover and fall in love with. For the times you wish to get away from it all and feel recharged again, have The Traveler’s Cottage saved in your bookmarked stays:

The Traveler’s Cottage at Balai Lahi

Set in a beautiful and thriving garden facing the sea, The Traveler’s Cottage makes a perfect escape to get a shade darker, read a good book, and have the crashing waves as your background music. With so much nature surrounding the cottage, it’s easy to feel relaxed once you settle in. Commuting to this scenic property may look intimidating, but the long journey will be worth it.

The Traveler’s Cottage is one of the properties at Balai Lahi that’s ideal for couples and solo travelers. There’s a bigger stay, Porto, which is a home away from home for groups. This dream cottage has everything you’ll need: a queen-sized bed, a movable breakfast nook, a kitchen, and a postcard-like view of the sea.

Whether you’re in need of inspiration or looking for the perfect honeymoon getaway, lazing around in this scenic hideaway sounds like a dream. Who wouldn’t love to wake up to a garden and sea view?

Do take note that the cottage is not airconditioned, but electric fans are provided.

There are no food services on the property but you’ll still get to enjoy breakfast in the shared pergola. According to the owners, the place is still accessible for deliveries or you may connect with local cooks to have your meals prepared.
