Metro to Paradise Under 2 Hours: Stunning Laguna Airbnbs for a Quick Retreat
Some weekends are made for staying in bed. Others? For throwing a swimsuit into a tote, grabbing your besties, and driving down south ‘til the city noise fades out. Laguna’s calling—and these poolside Airbnbs are giving “quick escape turned core memory” energy.
From hot spring villas to lakeside stays, here’s your cheat sheet to living the lagoon life—one dip at a time.
For the post-hike girls who still want a soak
📍 Los Baños, Laguna
Soure: Airbnb
After a long trek at Mt. Makiling, there’s no better cooldown than slipping into a Balinese-inspired infinity pool filled with natural hot spring water. This Asian-style villa fits up to 16 people (yes, the whole barkada) and comes with a fully loaded game room—think billiards, karaoke, PlayStation, even beer pong. Ideal for big groups who like their R&R with a side of fun (and Bose speakers on full blast).
For the quiet-town romantics
📍 Liliw, Laguna
Soure: Airbnb
If your idea of unwinding means trading chaos for charm, head to Liliw. This cozy stay for four sits close to the town’s famous shoe street and café scene — perfect for slow mornings and short strolls. It’s the kind of spot where time moves slower and every corner feels like a soft reset.
For the chill-by-the-pool types
📍 San Pablo, Laguna
Soure: Airbnb
Somewhere between a sleepover and a self-care retreat sits this peaceful villa. With a private pool, it’s ideal for couples or small groups who just want to float, recharge, and maybe finish that book you’ve been “currently reading” for three months now. Bonus: you’re minutes away from the city’s Seven Lakes—perfect for a quick scenic drive before heading back for your afternoon dip.
For the ones who chase sunsets by the lake
📍 Lumban, Laguna
Soure: Airbnb
This lakeside home hits different. Accessible only by boat, it’s a mix of serenity and adventure—with a pool, campfire area, karaoke setup, and enough bunk-style rooms. It’s the kind of weekend you spend barefoot, roasting marshmallows under a sky full of stars, and wondering why you ever settled for regular Friday nights.
For the countryside cool girls
📍 Victoria, Laguna
Soure: Airbnb
Picture pool dips, videoke nights, and arcade matches that last ‘til morning. There’s a projector for cozy movie nights and a grill for the designated tita of the group. It’s the sweet spot between comfort and chaos—where your weekend feels like a reunion you didn’t know you needed.
