(SPOT.ph) When we think of a quick beach getaway from the Metro, some top-of-mind destinations include Batangas, Bataan, Zambales, Subic, and La Union. While all these spots are beautiful, let's face it: they can get pretty crowded, especially during peak season. If you want a quiet, low-key getaway with virgin beach vibes, add Agdangan, Quezon to your itinerary.
Agdangan is a quiet fishing municipality about four hours from Manila and generally flies under everyone's radar, but it's time to change that! If you want to explore this hidden gem in the South, consider booking a stay at the Talisay Villa in Agda Beach Villas. These beachside villas are one to watch. Not only do they have a great location right on the pristine beach, but they're also bang for your buck. Rates start at P17,000 per night for up to nine guests—that's just roughly P1900 per head.

Check out the Talisay Villa in Agda Beach Villas in Quezon:
The Talisay Villa is the larger of two villas in the one-hectare Agda Beach Villa property. It boasts an 80-meter private beachfront where guests can enjoy sunset views, calm, tranquil seas, and an infinity pool boasting views of Tayabas Bay.
More than just another Airbnb with picturesque views, Talisay Villa is perfect for families who want to get away from the fast-paced city life while still enjoying the comforts of urban living.
Despite being located in the quiet, rural municipality of Agdangan, the Talisay Villa is equipped with modern creature comforts, including fast internet speeds, smart TVs, and luxurious amenities such as hotel-quality mattresses and toiletries at par with resorts in most beach destinations.
Talisay Villa's Facilities
Talisay Villa has three major areas: the Common areas, the Bedrooms, and the Pool Deck. Here's what you can expect from these different hangout spots in the villa.
The Common Area
Talisay Villa's common areas include a 10-seater acacia-wood dining table, a lounge area, and a pantry with kitchen appliances such as a refrigerator, water dispenser, microwave, coffee Maker, and rice cooker. There's also a powder room for guests who need to freshen up quickly.
What's great about the common area is that despite being indoors, it still has a clear view of the beachfront. This allows families with children to keep an eye on them while they play by the beach, or simply lets guests enjoy the beach views without having to step outside.
Another common area you can use is the outdoor kitchen and dining area. This is your space if you want to cook meals that can't be done in the pantry or if the group wants to eat under the shade of trees. You can bring your ingredients and cook your meals during your stay instead of ordering from nearby restaurants or online.
Here's something fun to do when staying at Talisay Villa: buy fresh fish from local fishermen in the morning. The area surrounding Agda Beach Villas is a bustling fishing village. Head down to the beach around 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. to see fishermen selling their catch by the beach. This is a surefire way to get the freshest seafood around. Buy your pick of seafood, then head back to the villa to cook and enjoy it for lunch.
The Bedrooms
Talisay Villa is good for up to nine guests at a time, and all these guests need a place to sleep. Lucky for you, this villa has three bedrooms where you can get your much-needed rest.
The first bedroom is the master bedroom. It's a 60-square-meter space with an ensuite bathroom, a workstation with a view of the beach, a 65-inch smart TV, a queen-sized bed, and a daybed that can be transformed into a single bed if needed.
The master bedroom also opens up to a private deck with a set of lounge chairs where you can sit back, relax, and soak in the beachfront scenery.
Fun fact: This bedroom has the best views from the house. If you time it right, you can open up the curtains to watch the fiery colors of the sunrise in the morning or the beautiful sunset in the afternoon.
Bedrooms two and three are relatively smaller without beach views. Despite this, both are well-designed spaces. Each one comes with an ensuite bathroom, a 65-inch smart TV, a writing desk, and an outdoor deck for enjoying serene garden views. The only difference between these two rooms is the beds: one features a queen-sized mattress similar to the master bedroom, while the other has two single beds.
The Pool Deck
The pool deck is arguably one of the best spots in the house. It is connected to the common area, making it easy to access from the main house, and has great views of the property and the beach. Guests can lounge around the poolside, as there are four pool chairs and loungers scattered on the deck.
This pool is handy during low tide when the water near the shore is too low to swim in. Instead of going farther from the coast, guests can simply soak in the infinity pool offering a pictureque view of Tayabas Bay and bask in the optical illusion of being in the sea.
The pool itself is a marvel. Lined with Sukabumi stone tiles, not only does the pool mimic the look of natural ponds, but it also has a touch of luxury that adds an extra oomph to the experience. Even if you don't get to swim on the beach, this pool more than makes up for it.
Things to do in Talisay Villa at Agda Beach Villas
Aside from lounging around and enjoying the peace and quiet of this under-the-radar destination, guests can also keep busy with the different activities they can do onsite.
While the pool at Talisay Villa is stunning, guests who want to have saltwater on their skin can swim at the beach. Enjoy the ebb and flow of the waves or splash around the seawater. Fair warning: the waters are home to jellyfish. Peak jellyfish season is from March to May. At this time, it's not advisable to swim in the sea as guests may get stung, but if the call of the ocean is irresistible, know that Agda Beach Villas installs a net that may keep out larger jellies from a portion of the beach.
Alternatively, you can still enjoy beach vibes without getting in the water by tanning or relaxing under the trees by the shore. The coastline is a combination of fine sand, small stones, and broken corals. Walking barefoot is ok, but maybe bring a pair of reliable aqua shoes just to be safe.
For more active guests, there are also complimentary non-motorized activities available at the property. Two-seater kayaks and stand-up paddle boards are free to use anytime on the property. Just make sure to return them afterward.
The entire property is a one-hectare piece of land, so there's lots to explore. If you plan to check out other parts of the area besides the immediate beachfront, you can also use bikes for free. If you have a taste for adventure and want to do away with the usual two-wheeler, you can rent a UTV and explore the property in style.
Other activities you can do in the area are island-hopping adventures, getting a massage, and touring the town of Agda. Should these interest you, just inform the host upon booking or the caretakers on site so they can help arrange these activities for you.
Talisay Villa is at Agda Beach Villas, Sitio Punta, Barangay Silangan Calutan, Agdangan, Quezon Province. Rates start at P17,000 for up to nine guests. Book this property on Airbnb. For more information, visit Agda Beach Villas' Facebook page.
