Tucked at the end of Pag-Ibig Street near Tagaytay Public Market, Ezra Viniti Resort gives you a quiet retreat, allowing you to escape from the noise of Metro Manila and even from the bustle of common Tagaytay destinations. But what’s even more remarkable is how Ezra Viniti Resort is designed around nature, with sustainability and respect for the environment in mind.
Interior designer Carlo Mecate, who designed the cabins at Ezra Viniti Resort, shares, “When we first surveyed this lot, it was all pineapple fields and all plantations. So, what we did, we got the topography of the land. We marked where the trees are. The design actually revolves around the trees or where the trees are, so we don’t have to cut anything.”
The resort has four cabins, with floor areas that range from 109 square meters to 177 square meters, including the decking. “All the cabins are actually colored black so that they will just blend in with nature,” explains Eric Po, managing partner of Ezra Viniti Resort.
Each cabin is also surrounded by glass windows and sliding doors to integrate indoor and outdoor spaces. The bathrooms in the cabins also have a pocket garden to further bring the outside in.
Butterfly roofing on each of the cabins also serves two purposes: to maximize natural light through two clerestory windows on opposite sides of the cabin, and to collect rainwater through a cistern. The water is then used for the plants.
All cabins boast an open layout that make the spaces feel expansive. Only Vijaya—the biggest cabin at 177 square meters—has enclosed bedrooms. Meanwhile, the rest of the cabins—Prana, Shanti, and Ananda—have open sleeping areas with curtains you can draw for privacy.
“I think what I wanted is to promote togetherness for the group or for the family that is staying here in the cabins,” Mecate explains. With the open layout, the guests can enjoy meals, watch movies, or play board games and interact with one another without walls cutting their connection.
Staying at Ezra Viniti Resort offers more than just an opportunity to unwind and relax. Upon leaving this quiet sanctuary, guests take with them not only a rejuvenated body and mind but also lessons on sustainability, mindful design, and harmonizing innovation with nature preservation.
