[Press Release] Hamilo Coast

I. What is Hamilo Coast?
Hamilo Coast is SM Land’s premier coastal development in Nasugbu, Batangas. Encompassing vast hectares of land, thirteen coves, and kilometers of the finest coastlines in Nasugbu, Hamilo’s long-term master plan is envisioned to provide a network of communities with a variety of lifestyle experiences.



II. How do I get to Hamilo Coast?
Hamilo Coast is accessible by land travel through the traditional Tagaytay route going beyond to Nasugbu, Batangas, which takes approximately 2 ½ to 3 hours. By air on a helicopter, travel from the Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City will take as fast as 20 minutes.
A national highway is being constructed that will traverse Ternate, Cavite going to Nasugbu, Batangas. Once this Ternate-Nasugbu highway is completed, land travel to Hamilo Coast can potentially be reduced to 1 ½ hours only.
A ferry transport service is also being developed that will depart from Mall of Asia Complex to Hamilo Pier in Papaya Cove, Hamilo Coast, and vice versa. This mode of transportation will potential reduce travel time to 1 ½ hours only as well.



III. What is the weather condition/climate in Hamilo Coast?
Nasugbu, Batangas, where Hamilo Coast is located, generally experiences two types of seasons: dry season from November to April and wet season for the rest of the year. January is the coolest month, registering an average temperature of 25.8 degrees Celsius, while April is the warmest month registering an average temperature of 29 degrees Celsius.
IV. What makes Hamilo Coast’s location and natural environment special?
The Coral Triangle is the world’s center of marine life - a vast, majestic and colorful coral nursery covering 5.7 million square kilometers of ocean, encompassing the islands and waters of the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and beyond.
In the Philippines, the Verde Island passage is one of the most significant links to the global ecosystem of the Coral Triangle. Located between Batangas in Luzon and Oriental Mindoro, the Verde Island waterway is the 'center of the center of marine biodiversity', describing the density and concentration of its coral and underwater life in comparison to the rest of the Coral Triangle.
Hamilo Coast, being situated in Nasugbu, Batangas, is fortunate to be part of the Verde Island passage in the Philippines and of the global Coral Triangle.



V. How is the developer taking care of such natural resources?
Given such wealth of natural beauty and resources, Costa del Hamilo Inc. has committed itself to the sustainable development of Hamilo Coast and has made this a deliberate part of its operations and plans. It works closely with the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF Philippines) in specifically on three areas of work—coastal resource management, solid waste management and use of renewable sources of energy. Three of its thirteen coves—Pico de Loro, Etayo, and Santelmo—have successfully been declared as marine-protected areas with the help of WWF and the local government. Costa del Hamilo Inc. has also been undertaking proactive measures to conserve and support the environment, such as clam seeding, coastal clean-ups, release of pawikan (sea turtle) hatchlings and identification of adult pawikans, as well as forming bantay dagat or marine patrol groups and cooperatives that support the local communities in order to engage them as stewards of the natural resources.
VI. What is Pico de Loro Cove?
The 37.5-hectare Pico de Loro Cove is the first coastal community to rise in Hamilo Coast. Eight mid-rise, low-impact condominium buildings—along with an exclusive Beach and Country Club, and Pico Sands Hotel comprise Phase I of Pico de Loro Cove.
