What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Anya is among its finest addresses: 82 suites across 7.2 hectares of gardens, the architecture rooted in indigenous materials and shaped by natural light.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Pineapple plantations border the estate, and the entrance road winds through a quiet forest just off Calamba Road.
The rooms
Suites open onto private balconies facing the grounds, with abaca furnishings inside and deep soaking tubs in the bathrooms.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool looks out across rolling lawns, lined with white parasols and sun loungers on the terrace.
The spa and gym
Therapists practice Filipino hilot massage in treatment rooms with private gardens, and the gym looks out onto tropical greenery.
Restaurant
Samira by Chele Gonzalez
Chef Chele Gonzalez cooks over a Josper grill for his six-course tasting menu, with tables looking out over the gardens.
How it began
The name Anya comes from the Sanskrit word for limitless, inspiring dining venues like Samira, which translates to wind.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
