Re-energize your body and reconnect with your soul in the Sermon on the Mount Retreat Resort in Gaas, Balamban.
This retreat in Cebu encourages its visitors to meditate on the mountainous backdrops and cool climate of Balamban with friends or family. The tranquil atmosphere and verdant backgrounds of the place will surely put the body in a trance.
Although it is just an hour’s drive away from the Metro, the surrounding mountains seclude the resort and remove any trace of the city. The rustic interiors and cliffside views create a peaceful ambiance for intimate moments between friends and family either while sharing a coffee on their cliff-hanging tables or watching the sunrise while soaking in the pools.
The canopies created by the trees are perfect for morning walks and basking in the beauty of the forest. For a more relaxing indoor experience, there are saunas in the resort that the adults will surely love.
Sermon on the Mount Retreat Resort is literally a home away from home. It comes complete with cozy shared rooms and a kitchen that is complete with cooking utensils. The rooms of the resort are exclusive to one group at a time only which allows everybody to spend moments together uninterrupted.
Groups may bring their own food and store it in the refrigerator and grill some meat on the barbeque come dinner time.
After sundown, everybody can spend time appreciating the view of Mt. Manunggal on their wide, wooden deck or patio. Rooms don’t even need fans because the natural air conditioning provided by the surroundings is enough for a good night’s sleep.
