Coastal Luxury Community at Hamilo Coast Moves Closer to Completion

A premium seaside residential community within Batangas’ renowned Hamilo Coast is steadily taking shape as SM Leisure Resort and Residences (SM LRR), a subsidiary of SM Prime Holdings, prepares for the turnover of Balea Suites by the fourth quarter of 2027.

Positioned within the exclusive Pico Terraces enclave, Balea Suites represents the next phase in the evolution of Hamilo Coast as one of the country’s most sought-after coastal residential destinations. The development has already attracted strong interest from property investors and homebuyers looking for a balance between resort living and long-term value.

According to SM LRR, demand for units has remained robust, reflecting the growing preference for private vacation homes that offer both accessibility and exclusivity. Many buyers are drawn to the unique combination of beachfront leisure, mountain scenery, and a low-density environment that provides a welcome escape from urban life.

Balea Suites forms part of the larger Pico Terraces community, a P3-billion residential development designed to offer residents an elevated lifestyle experience. The project follows the successful introduction of Ardea Suites and continues the vision of creating a residential sanctuary immersed in nature while remaining connected to modern comforts.

Located within the expansive 5,900-hectare Hamilo Coast estate, Pico Terraces offers homeowners access to a carefully curated selection of amenities. Residents can enjoy landscaped open spaces, swimming pools, fitness facilities, and recreational areas designed to promote wellness, relaxation, and meaningful family experiences.

A distinctive feature of ownership at Pico Terraces is the inclusion of membership privileges to the Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club. Through bundled club shares, residents gain exclusive access to the estate’s premier leisure facilities, beaches, and recreational offerings, further enhancing the value of the investment.

The development has proven particularly attractive to Millennials and Generation X buyers from southern Metro Manila and nearby growth centers. Many are seeking secondary residences that provide an easy getaway while serving as a long-term asset in a high-potential location.

Industry recognition has also strengthened the project’s reputation. Pico Terraces earned top honors at both the 2025 PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards and the 2025 DOT Property Awards, receiving recognition for its thoughtfully planned design and resort-inspired concept.

As construction progresses toward completion, Balea Suites continues to reinforce Hamilo Coast’s position as a premier destination for those seeking a refined coastal lifestyle—one that combines natural beauty, exclusivity, and the comforts of a world-class residential community.
