Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar
A heritage beachside resort built from colonial-era houses rescued from across the country, open for day visits or overnight stays.
Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar sits on the coast of Bagac in Bataan. The developers dismantled more than 30 Spanish colonial-style houses dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, from various parts of the Philippines, and rebuilt them here brick by brick and beam by beam. The result is a “colonial village” of cobblestone streets, canals and stone bridges, with many of the old houses converted into guest rooms. Day tours cost about PHP 1,500–2,500 and include a guided tour, with optional meals. You can also stay overnight, and there are beaches and a swimming pool. Advance reservations through the official website are required. The site is about 170 km from Manila by road (about 60 km as the crow flies). Drive or take a charter for about 3–4 hours, or take a bus to Balanga and transfer.
