flowers, and glasses of refreshing pandan juice. The Santorini-inspired architecture greets one with alluring white structures that depict simplicity. Decorated only with select neutral hues and bare, rock-solid spaces, the colored chairs and light fixtures were tastefully chosen to create a sense of a clear-headed recluse. After the welcoming remarks by the General Manager Rudolf Studer, the guests were ushered to their rooms and villas to freshen up before their respective private dinners held at various resort locations such as the Hotel Al Fresco Bar. Situated off the south west coast of Marinduque, this seemingly mystical island is easily identifiable from afar with of its white-washed structures that resemble the great Minoan architecture of the world’s glorious past. Its grandiosity shines in the lapis lazuli sea and bright sky. The island that used to be a ‘fantasy haven’ is now home for the beautiful recluse. RIGHT IN THE “HEART OF THE PHILIPPINES” “The resort promotes luxurious amenities, ultimate privacy, and pampering as only the Filipinos can deliver in the most unique resort setting in Asia,” said John Tanjangco, Bellarocca’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “The resort style and setting break free from the usual thatch-roof, native designed resorts that can be found anywhere in Asia. “Why in the Philippines? Well, the country is known globally for the Filipino’s exceptional service and innate gracious hospitality that remain unmatched anywhere in the world. These, together with the unique resort and its facilities, all in a private island setting, assure one of a truly amazing and unforgettable holiday. Moreover, its location in Marinduque offers something new, fresh, and intriguing. The location also adds mystery to the resort and the province.” BELLAROCCA: “BEAUTIFUL ROCK” Human culture associates the color white with purity, innocence, and cleanliness. It is often in this knowledge that guests see the luxury resort of Bellarocca as a secluded refuge where one can escape the hassles and stress of city living. In architecture, the use of this particular color leans toward its “cool” quality. And by that we mean its ability to retain a slightly cold temperature even in the blistering heat of the midday sun. Considering the fact (albeit ironic) that the “safe haven” lay bare amidst the waters of Marinduque, it could get searing hot during the summer, transforming the lush, green leaves of the trees to earthy brown. But still, the grand, white halls of Bellarocca remain cool to the touch. After all, white is balik!"#"$ February – March 2012 "1#"
