Costa Calatagan: Ortigas Land Launches Community-Centered Coastal Estate

Ortigas Land has officially launched Costa Calatagan, a 45-hectare leisure estate along a 424-meter beachfront in Batangas. This marks the developer’s first foray into the resort-residential space, blending private living with hospitality.

Located in Calatagan and accessible via Zobel Highway, Costa Calatagan features two main components: a private villa enclave and a resort managed by Ortigas Land. On launch day, 94% of Phase 1 lots were sold. Phase 2 is expected to open in 2026, alongside the soft launch of the resort.

Low-Density, Nature-Led Planning
The estate emphasizes low-density planning. Shared amenities include:

  • 5-hectare beach area
  • Seaside clubhouse with pools
  • Sports and recreation zones
  • Pedestrian trails and green buffers

Each element is designed to preserve open space and ensure long-term value. The terrain enhances view lines and separates product clusters.

Lifestyle Partnerships
Residents can enjoy added amenities through Ortigas Land’s partners:

  • Europa Yachts for charters and tours
  • Calatagan Golf Club, just 10 minutes away

These offerings expand recreational options for both residents and resort guests.

Ortigas-Managed Resort
The resort will feature over 123 villas and begin operations in 2026. Key features include:

  • Welcome pavilion
  • Five dining outlets
  • Guest pool
  • Access to estate amenities

Services will focus on high-value, low-density stays.

Private Villas: Designed for Serenity
The residential enclave includes 219 lots ranging from 450 to 700 sqm. Notably, the layout avoids back-to-back lots, improving airflow, light, and privacy. Some lots sit within mature mango and acacia orchards.

Private Villa homeowners get exclusive access to:

  • Infinity pool
  • Orchard yoga pavilion
  • Private clubhouse

Sustainability and Local Engagement
Costa Calatagan features:

  • Solar energy integration
  • Water reuse systems
  • Planned green farm for food and education
  • Local academic partnerships to build a trained hospitality workforce

Ortigas Land combines its mixed-use development expertise with a commitment to sustainable coastal living. Costa Calatagan positions itself as a new model for resort-residential estates near Metro Manila.
