A MESMERIZING SWISS ESCAPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
This year’s holiday season gives you all the reasons to pack your bags and hit the road with your loved ones in tow.
Travel, after all, is probably one of the best gifts you can give yourself and your loved ones this Christmas, especially as the last two years of restrictions made us appreciate anew the joys of exploring destinations with family and friends. It has this amazing way of forging unique bonds and creating cherished memories among companions—more so if you choose to go on a trip during the most wonderful time of the year.
IDYLLIC SWISS ESCAPE
So make your Christmas getaway a tad more exciting this year. Head south of the metro where you’ll find this beautiful, idyllic Swiss escape that lets you revel in the charm and rustic elegance of the famed Alpine region, while you indulge in the merry festivities of this season.
Crosswinds, the 100-ha Swiss-inspired luxury community in Tagaytay City, will not only give you impressive, shimmering holiday displays worthy of your social feed, but it will also let you savor the beauty of this mountain paradise with its incredible scenery, cool clime, and fresh air scented by some 35,000 towering pine trees hugging its sloping terrain.
Plus, this upscale neighborhood touts a must-visit lineup of unique dining concepts that serve both sumptuous delights and refreshing sights. There’s a holiday market, too, as well as loads of activities and attractions you have to see. And with Crosswinds all decked out for the holidays—bright twinkling pixie lights, festive decor, and the works—you can almost imagine yourself in one of those famous Christmas markets of Europe. It’s indeed a Christmas wonderland at Crosswinds.
But don’t worry, because despite the array of activities Crosswinds has lined up for you, this serene destination will also have everyone sleeping like a baby at night as it is located in the quieter side of Tagaytay City.
STAY FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Obviously, a day trip is not enough.
Make your holiday vacay more memorable by booking a stay at Crosswinds Resort Suites, located right inside this premier Swiss sanctuary. Three towers will give you different options for your stay depending on how big your group is. There are studio units, as well as one- and two-bedroom suites, which offer sweeping gorgeous vistas of the Crosswinds community. Those looking to kickstart the day with a little workout can just head over to the swimming pool and wellequipped fitness gym located at the Grand Quartier 3. But if you’d rather enjoy the outdoors, you can walk, bike or take a hike along the many trails within this beautiful, peaceful community. The playground meanwhile offers a healthy, safe space for the young ones to run around and enjoy their lush surroundings.
Go ahead and commune with nature, breathe in fresh mountain air, meditate or read a book at the pocket gardens and quaint nooks you’ll find here. There’s now a view deck, the Bloomfield, and a strawberry farm—imagine that explosion of colors amid the stunning sights of nature.
And oh, if you’re planning to make a reunion out of this holiday trip, you can book one of the function rooms or even the banquet hall at the hotel so you’ll have an entire space all for yourselves.
But what further makes Crosswinds a truly magical destination is the fact that you won’t need to leave this beautiful community just to satisfy your cravings. Explore the grounds and take your pick— there’s Windmill Lausanne, Cafe Yama, Napa, Dear Joe, Andersen’s Bakery, Cafe Voila as well as Ruined Project? and Coffee Project near the entrance of Crosswinds. Your palate will definitely do some traveling too.
On Dec. 24, Crosswinds Resort Suites will let you in on an even more magical evening with its Christmas Eve gala dinner—a perfect way to celebrate the holidays with your loved ones. You have to book your tables early though as the dinner will accommodate only 50 guests to ensure everyone’s safety.
No doubt, a stay at this beautiful Swiss oasis is one sweet escape you need to have for the holidays.
