Visiting Nuvali

Nuvali, a 1,600-hectare development that integrates central business districts, business process outsourcing campuses, stores and shops, restaurants, residential developments, schools, and civic areas. It is nicely located in Sta. Rosa, Laguna (Philippines) and its goal is to use land in various ways that are essential in supporting a modern metropolitan area.

Nuvali is one of Ayala Land's newest and fast progressing projects that is sure to be another success with its ecological aims to provide a healthier place for the coming generations.                                
To date, you can find several restaurants in Nuvali, including Pig Out, Starbucks, and Yellow Cab Pizza, among others.

Nuvali's recreational park is what people usually go there for too. It has an artificial man-made lake (Nuvali Lake) filled with colorful koi that you can feed. Children and adults alike love this!                
                                                                               To make sure that everything is in order and stays ecologically sound, they have a strict rule of feeding the koi only Nuvali fish feeds which you can purchase at about 15 pesos a pack – it's more than enough. :)




Another thing at Nuvali that kids will love is that you can also go for a boat ride in their water taxi. It will simply take you for a spin around the Nuvali Lake, and you can hire the entire boat for 180 pesos, or you can share it with others and just simply pay about 30 pesos.

The weekend we went to Nuvali there was a bazaar and it was fun looking through the stalls selling clothes, trinkets, perfumes, and many more.

And just near the restaurants stand Convergys (call center) Nuvali, which is very accessible to people living in the area.                                                                               
There's one thing I noticed about Nuvali too – it was so clean!

No wrappers lying around, no spilled food, and definitely no offending smells. And, their public restroom is also clean.
If you get the chance, perhaps you can drop by Nuvali and take in the sights, feed some koi, have some coffee or pizza, and take some pictures. :)
