A retreat you won’t want to miss this summer is right at Sol Y Viento Hotels and Resorts, a sanctuary nestled among lush landscapes and offering panoramic views of Calamba City, Laguna.
This year, Sol Y Viento promises to be a fantastic summer getaway with its “Soak in the Sun, Stay for the Springs” campaign, celebrating the perfect blend of sun-soaked adventure and rejuvenating relaxation.
The resort hotel offers a refreshing alternative, such as its natural hot spring pools, elevated views of Laguna de Bay and Mt. Makiling, and a cool breeze you won’t find in the lowlands. So, whether you’re planning a romantic escape or a fun-filled family vacation, Sol Y Viento has something fun for every kind of traveler.
“Our goal is to encourage guests to experience summer the Sol Y Viento way—where fun never ends, and the healing begins. We’re positioning ourselves as a unique highland resort getaway that brings together natural hot spring wellness, scenic views, and family-friendly fun, all just a short drive from the city,” says Shanen Nogus, Sol Y Viento Hotels and Resorts Director of Sales and Marketing.
Summer is calling, and so are the savings
Local and foreign guests can take advantage of great discounts that fit their budget. Sol Y Viento has special weekday rates, group discounts, and bundled packages with inclusions like boodle fight, buffet breakfast, all-day pool access, and wellness add-ons.
Fun water activities for all ages
The 12-hectare mountain spring resort understands the importance of having family-friendly amenities and guarantees a meaningful, enjoyable experience for guests of all ages.
“We’ve curated experiences for families to reconnect and unwind together. Our Costa Tropical water playground is a hit with children and parents alike, with large water slides and features perfect for bonding. We also have spacious accommodations recommended for groups, families, and couples,” shares Nogus.
Sol Y Viento has two distinct pool zones namely, Costa Brava and Costa Tropical. Costa Brava, located within the main hotel area, offers a relaxing escape with two lagoon-style pools ranging from three to five feet deep, which is ideal for a refreshing swim. It also features two outdoor jacuzzis, filled with natural hot spring water maintained at a soothing 38 to 40 degrees Celsius, perfect for relaxation and wellness.
Costa Tropical, on the other hand, is all about fun and excitement. This vibrant area boasts two giant water slides and interactive water features. It is open exclusively on weekends, making it a favorite spot for families and thrill-seekers alike.
“Aside from our weekend-only Costa Tropical waterpark, kids will love our lagoon pools, outdoor jacuzzis, and open-air spaces for safe play. Parents can join the fun or they can simply relax in our hot spring pools while their kids enjoy the same activity,” states Nogus.
Hotel amenities to pamper guests
Nogus knows that when one chooses a hotel, he or she considers the quality and range of amenities available. Thus, the Sol Y Viento team never ceases to find ways to enhance its overall guest experience, making their stay more enjoyable and memorable. It offers thoughtful additions like welcome drinks, provision of an on-call professional therapist for in-room/outdoor massage, and other complimentary amenities that complement the season and events.
“We’re currently exploring partnerships to offer sun protection essentials, basic swimwear, and floaties for purchase at our front desk or convenience corner soon,” says Nogus.
Gustatory delights
Guests are treated to various culinary options at Sol Y Viento. There is Café Sabroso, the all-day dining restaurant that offers hearty local and international favorites.
Barrio Fiesta, on the other hand, specializes in Filipino cuisine, delighting every guest with nostalgic flavors and classic dishes.
Those who wish to dine under the moonlit and starry skies, Porto Bar offers a hilltop weekend lounge overlooking the city lights, providing an elevated dining experience with cocktails and tapas.

Customer satisfaction is a top priority for any business, but for Sol Y Viento it’s the entire purpose. Each and every member of the hotel staff is passionate about making every guest’s stay special. From a warm welcome greeting to excellent service, Sol Y Viento truly stands out from the rest.
“What sets us apart is our sincere hospitality, rejuvenating hot springs, and a place that feels close to home but far from ordinary. We’re proud to be Laguna’s first professionally managed resort, and we’re constantly evolving to bring more value, comfort, and joy to every guest,” declares Nogus.
