Eastland Heights — home of ecotherapy lifestyle

City dwellers, with their bustling lifestyle, will surely find benefit from ecotherapy, a type of therapeutic treatment involving nature-based design to help improve mental and physical health.

Ecotherapy is based on the idea that people have a deep connection to and impacted by nature.

Among ecotherapy interventions are nature meditation, horticultural therapy, green exercise, nature arts & crafts, and forest bathing.

In the Philippines, ecotherapy is confined to dining, farm or spa and wellness destinations. Hence, availing them are similar to having holiday experiences.

With the goal of offering eco therapy as a lifestyle rather than holiday, Global-Estate Resorts, Inc. (GERI), the country's leading developer of master-planned integrated tourism estates, is offering Eastland Heights in Antipolo.

The sprawling township capitalizes on the natural environment organic to its 64-hectare property. Proposed amenities, residences, and other developments are being developed, mindfully designed to promote healing and wellness.

“The demand for living spaces near or nestled within nature continues to grow, especially as the world recovers from a global pandemic that forced us all to reassess our way of life,” Karen Piolo-Arcilla, vice president for sales and marketing, Megaworld Global Estate, Inc.

Eastland Heights is already offering green residential spaces within the mountainside property.

It is also home to Forest Hills Golf Course, the only golf club in the Philippines with two courses designed by golfing greats Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. This Eastland Heights centerpiece was awarded Best Golf Course in the World by the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) in 2000.

But the property wants to further grow its ecotherapy lifestyle community.

“We plan to build carefully curated spaces such as gardens, cafes and wine cellars, pet parks, camping stations, outdoor sports areas, aeroponic farms, and more to encourage a lifestyle built around nature,” Piolo-Arcilla continued.

Early this year, GERI launched its newest residential offering that hinges on this concept: The Daintree Residences.

This 12.6-hectare residential village is inspired by the Daintree Rainforest Park in Queensland, Australia which is famous for its biodiversity and rich ecosystem.

The Daintree Residences will feature around 200 lots, with planned amenities including a village clubhouse, a pet park and playground, meditation and therapeutic gardens, medicinal plant gardens, and jogging and bike paths.

Combining nature and learning, Eastland Heights will also build an educational institution called Bannister Academy. The private, co-ed international school will be open to learners from preschool to Grades 1 to 12. It is authorized as an IB (International Baccalaureate) World School offering the Diploma Program—meaning, the academy provides a rigorous, two-year, globally recognized educational program from Grades 11 to 12 that offers students the opportunity to attend top universities almost anywhere in the world.

Occupying a 1.1-hectare plot of land, Bannister Academy will feature state-of-the-art facilities including laboratories, a library, a music room, a garden, sports facilities, and an amphitheater.

Also in the pipeline are the tropical-themed resort called The Springs, an a themed retail and lifestyle hub.

Eastland Heights is an integrated lifestyle community managed and developed by Global-Estate Resorts, Inc. (GERI), a subsidiary of property giant and pioneering township developer, Megaworld.

GERI was hailed Best Lifestyle Developer at the 2022 PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, as well as Outstanding Developer of the Year in the 2018 FIABCI-Philippines Property and Real Estate Excellence Awards.
