"Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you; spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life." – Amy Poehler.
When you have adventurous friends, you can explore different places to unwind and chill when stress attacks, most probably planned and unplanned trips, and sometimes no destinations to go but just chill and have each other's company along.
Because today is weekend, time to go out and find space to unwind. Timely, one of my friends called to offer a short ride to Balamban Cebu. Since it's an unplanned trip of ours, whatever comes to our mind will be our destination.
When I needed a break, it was them whom I called up to for I knew we had the same vibes.
Short description of Balamban, Cebu
Balamban Cebu is one of the municipalities in the province of Cebu, located on the Western coast of Cebu Island. Bounded on the Bounded by the City of Toledo to the south, the Municipality of Asturias to the north, and the Tañon Strait to the west. This municipality is known for its scenic beaches, mountains, and cultural heritage. That is why it's one of the places where tourists and motorcycle riders go and have chill rides.
On our first stop, we had a chill moment at Balamban signage. It was located on the grassy part of Balamban maybe 2 minutes walk to reach the signage. The view from above and beside is too beautiful not to share. We laugh and talk for a while about how life goes and have our chill moments sitting on the grasslands.
And because we didn't have any planned destinations to go, my friend decided to have a stop at West 35 Eco Mountain Resort in Balamban. It was situated on the top of the mountainous area of Balamban. Approximately 30km. drive from Ayala Center Cebu and 800 meters from Balamban Proper.
Getting to know West 35 Eco Mountain Resort
As you enter the resort, you need to pay the entrance fee of Php85.00 or 1.17 USD for day use. Then you're good to go and explore the serene beauty of the resort.
The resort offers a 360-degree view of the Balamban Mountains and the nearby area. The peaceful and relaxing place has a lot of facilities for you to enjoy along with your family and friends or even your kids. They had playgrounds for kids to enjoy, swings, and great food to enjoy at the restaurant.
If you want an overnight stay and feel the delightful night ambiance of the place. This resort also offers an overnight stay for your family and friends you get along. They have non-airconditioned rooms and airconditioned rooms prepared for visitors. They have deluxe rooms, suite rooms, and group or family rooms. If you also want to have your meeting with your co-worker with a 360-degree view, they also have function rooms offered.
While roaming around, you enjoy the peaceful and tranquil view. The lush leaves of the trees in the mountains are delightful to look at. The mountains meet the clouds above, such an amazing view.
I was enjoying having a walk on their playground and swinging around on their swing. Seems like the child in me was brought back. It was a nice feeling hanging around and enjoying your free time swinging, with nothing to worry about.
My friends and I were trying to walk on the hanging ropes in the playground.
If you're tired of walking and feeling hungry, you can dine in their restaurant which offers delicious meals for everyone. But during our time of visit, we didn't have the time to eat at the restaurant because we were so full. So, we enjoy the view from afar of what the restaurant looks like.
In the lower area, you can find different rooms to stay. Having this view in the morning is also an amazing experience to cherish. With your family, friends, and partners you can have an unforgettable and worth-to-share experience.
That was our unplanned short ride with my friends. A worth-to-share experience. From the stunning view, the unforgettable experience, and the fun-filled moments with them. Let's enjoy every moment with our friends for time wasted won't be back again. Having our families and friends who inspire us to be grateful every day is worth keeping.
That's all for today's blog my dear friends. I hope you enjoy reading and upvoting my blog.
Have a nice day everyone. 😊
