Hotels in Calabarzon, Philippines

Calabarzon is a region south of Manila, on Luzon island, with a tropical climate that splits into a dry season from November to April and a wet season from May to October. It's famous for the Taal Volcano, the smallest active volcano in the Philippines, where you can hike up to the crater lake, and for heritage towns like Taal and Silang, home to Spanish-era churches and the Aguinaldo Shrine. During the dry months, you can dive in the clear waters of Anilao in Batangas or swim at the beaches of Nasugbu, while the wet season brings cheaper hotel rates and lush green hikes around Tagaytay Ridge, perfect for savoring hot bulalo and viewing Taal from a safe distance.
