The Santorini of Ilocos Sur
Nestled on the hills of Santiago Cove in the town of Santiago at Ilocos Sur, Vitalis Villas is not as far as you’d think it is. Santiago is one of the few towns that you will have to pass by when you enter Ilocos Province. So whether you are traveling with a car or commuting up north, you’ll definitely see the hotel on your way especially when you are heading to Vigan or Laoag.
The Grecian appeal exuded by Vitalis Vilas is timeless. You’ll get your friends asking if you left the Philippines and went to Greece once you post a picture of yourself at the resort. Nobody will doubt that you are still in the country because this luxurious hotel looks a lot like the island of Santorini.
Once you get to the resort, you’ll be greeted by a 900-meter stretch of white sand and shoreline. The hotel is perched high on a mountain cliff near a local fishing village, which will remind you of our ancestor’s simple way of life a hundred years back. The whole place is so huge that you actually need to use a golf cart so you won’t easily get tired when you roam around. Nonetheless, you can always take a plunge into their pools anytime. It will be nice to bring your family and friends to this beautiful paradise and find the perfect spot where you can enjoy the wide and open view of the Santiago Cove and the Pacific Ocean. The way the ocean transitions into different shades of blue is absolutely the kind of relaxing sight that you need. It becomes even lovelier at night when the whole place lights up.
Exceptional blue and white accommodations
Vitalis Villas does not just offer a wonderful sight externally. It also has a gorgeous and relaxing ambiance inside. Vitalis allows you to experience the kind of vacation that you’d never want to end as they offer highly personalized and unique accommodations to their guests. Butlers are assigned to each villa. They will politely greet you by your name once you arrive and they will be able to assist you whenever you need them throughout your stay. Almost a hundred percent of their staff is from Ilocos, allowing you to fully experience the most out of the hospitality of the locals.
Their stylish and spacious villas are covered in white and a hint of blue a la Santorini. You’ll surely have a satisfying stay because everything you need is already provided by Vitalis Villas—from TVs to air-con to WiFi connection and room essentials. All their rooms have a kitchen equipped with cooking tools, a refrigerator, a microwave oven, and a coffee and tea station. All you need to bring are utensils and food and your family getaway is already complete. Also, their rooms have twin-sized sofas at the living areas, which you can convert into a sleeping area at night if you are traveling in large groups. Aside from these, a state-of-the art bathroom is also available. You can also enjoy the ocean view from your villa because all their rooms have nice verandas that open up to the sea. Their accommodations are inclusive of breakfast and free use of billiard tables. You can also rent a videoke machine while you’re there or treat yourself with their massage and spa services.
Recreational outdoor sports and activities
Since the hotel is just a few steps away from the beach, you can enjoy the clear and pristine waters of the ocean and try various water activities like kayaking, jet skiing, scuba diving, wakeboarding, and snorkeling. Should you decide to try these activities, Vitalis Villas has brand new watersports equipment that you can choose from.
If you want to see a view of the entire Vitalis Villas, they also have a zip-line facility that starts from the tower by the hilltop and ends at the resort where you’ll be picked up. You will surely have an amazing view of the entire place up there.
With enough supervision, your children will also have fun playing at the beach because the waves are usually calm. You can also check out Vitalis’ very own mini zoo and meet Fabio—their miniature Shetland pony, and visit their zebras, camels and donkeys. You are entitled with free entrance to the zoo once you are checked-in.
Gloriously delicious dining experience
Vitalis Villas also offers a good selection of delectable dishes through their Fisherman’s Boat Grill. While enjoying the scenic view of the ocean, you will excite your senses with different dishes made from meat and seafood straight from the sea. All their meals are seasoned and grilled to perfection and dining boodle style is a must-try. With their selection of Mediterranean food to classic Filipino dishes to native and exotic Ilocano favorites, your appetite will surely be satisfied. To name a few, their menu is mainly composed of pita breads, pizza, dips, and hummus. Bagnet and katuray pizzas, Malaga fishes, as well as uni pastas are some of the hotel’s signature dishes.
You can also choose from their wide selection of liquor, hand-crafted cocktails, and fine wines as you indulge yourself with the breathtaking view of the sunset.
Vitalis Villas is the latest addition to the roster of first class hotels and resorts that are managed by ArtStream Hospitality Management Group Incorporated, an art hotel group that utilizes euro-artistic charm in each of their hotels. All of their properties, such as Hotel Rembrandt in Manila, Hotel Luna in Vigan, and Le Monet in Baguio, are named after well-known artists.
