Hamilo Coast is SM Land's premier residential leisure destination development in Nasugbu, Batangas. Encompassing vast hectares of land, thirteen coves, and kilometers of the finest coastlines in Nasugbu, Hamilo's long-term masterplan is envisioned to provide a network of leisure communities with a variety of lifestyle experiences.
 

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 Papaya Cove in Hamilo Coast, and vice versa. This mode of transportation will potential reduce travel time to 1 ½ hours only as well.
 

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.
 

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.
 

Given such wealth of natural beauty and resources, SM Land 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 WWF-Philippines specifically on three areas of work—coastal resource management, solid waste management, and the development 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-Philippines and the local government.

SM Land 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. You may read more about these efforts in articles contained in our website.
 

The 37.5-hectare Pico de Loro Cove is the first leisure community to rise in Hamilo Coast. Nine mid-rise, low-impact condominium buildings—along with an exclusive Beach Club, Country Club, and Pico Sands Hotel—circle a man-made saltwater lagoon comprise Phase I of Pico de Loro Cove.

Pico Sands Hotel is targeted for completion by first quarter of 2011.
 

The intent for the beachfront of Pico de Loro has been reconsidered from earlier plans in order to prioritize the preservation of the natural beauty of the area, and to enhance it further through landscaping. Near the Beach Club, the sandy beachfront has been designated and developed as courts for beach volleyball and soccer. A low wall feature has been built separating the sandy area from a grassy, gently mounded lawn area envisioned for use by members and guests for social gatherings and other recreational activities. The rest of the beachfront is left as an open recreational park for the Pico de Loro Cove community.
 

Selected ground floor units at the condominium buildings have been identified and will be developed as retail and service outlets in the future.

The Maragondon to Ternate section in Cavite, on the other hand, which is 8 kilometers in length including a 250-meter tunneling section, has already been programmed for funding by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). It is still difficult to ascertain its date of completion as this is a government-initiated and funded effort.
