CaliRana is a 1.5-hectare private resort on the eastern fringes of man-made Lake Caliraya in Cavinti, Laguna some 95 kilometers south of Makati City or approximately two hours normal driving time from the country's financial center. Lake Caliraya which sits on a mountain cradle over 365 meters above sea level is blessed with cool weather all-year round making the place a perfect mountain getaway.
Getting to CaliRana is an experience in itself. The 30-minute motorboat ride from the ferry station affords a closer look at Lake Caliraya's coconut tree-bordered frontage meandering through numerous partially submerged hills forming both the lake edge and lake islands as gentle cold winds splash on the lake's pristine waters during the short journey.
CaliRana's location and amenities present a pretty picture of an ideal leisure escape. Within its sprawling locale, facilities include a picnic grove, swimming pools, cottages, fishing lagoons, kids' playground, activity pavilions, videoke kiosks, outdoor game courts, view decks and aqua sports. And then there is a wide loop of araucaria tree-lined lakeside promenade for viewing the serene lake water and sweeping mountain ranges, and a network of grass-thatched all-weather pathways ---flat, even downhill or uphill--- for strolling and jogging within CaliRana's wide expanse amid a surround of verdant hills and lush shrubbery.
Above all, CaliRana offers peace and quiet ---for savoring the breeze, for catching dragon flies during the day, or for moon-and-star-gazing all through the night.
Do all these minus the hassling stares and inquisitive looks of people not known to you. After all, CaliRana is a private resort. Just for you, your family and your friends. And nature.
