Timberland Highlands Resort

Perched in the mountains of Timberland Heights in San Mateo, Rizal, this family-friendly resort is a quick escape from the city. It’s minutes from Quezon City and within easy reach of SM North EDSA, Avilon Zoo and La Mesa Eco Park. Expect mountain-top calm with skyline views of Metro Manila.

Newly refurbished, air-conditioned rooms feature minibars, LCD TVs, balconies or terraces, complimentary Wi‑Fi and in-room basics like hairdryers and safes. Rooms come with bathrobes and slippers in select categories. Wander the lush tropical grounds for a true nature-meets-city staycation vibe.

Multiple pools (indoor and outdoor), a sauna, spa center and massage rooms set the tone for relaxation. Active guests get a fitness center, gym, table tennis and outdoor activities around the estate. Kids stay busy in playrooms and a children’s play area. Other perks include karaoke, a library, BBQ area, concierge, tour desk, transfer service, on-site parking and free Wi‑Fi—plus a resort doctor on call.

High-speed wireless internet throughout, 24-hour reception, luggage storage and business services make this a solid pick for corporate events or meetings. The resort also positions itself as a venue option for celebrations and small conferences; limited onsite parking is available.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve meals and cocktails, with a poolside bar for relaxed evenings. Room service is available and full breakfast is offered daily (served for a fee). The resort’s BBQ area is great for group gatherings and casual feasts.
