There’s something about the mountains of Cebu – the cool air, the quiet, the way the trees seem to slow time – that makes it the perfect setting to celebrate love. And if you’re dreaming of an anniversary that’s a little more intimate, a little more meaningful, and completely unforgettable, Treehouse de Valentine is exactly where you want to be. Tucked away in the lush highlands of Balamban, this one-of-a-kind nature resort offers more than just a romantic getaway – it offers an experience. One that feels handwritten just for the two of you, complete with forest views, candlelit dinners, slow mornings, and the kind of peace that brings you closer together.
From the moment you arrive, it’s clear Treehouse de Valentine isn’t your typical resort – it’s a sanctuary. Perched above a gentle river and surrounded by thick forest, the treehouse is designed for privacy, comfort, and connection. You won’t hear the hum of traffic or the chatter of crowds – just birdsong, the rustle of leaves, and the sound of water flowing below your balcony. Inside, the space is warm and rustic with thoughtful touches: a cozy canopy bed, an open-air bathtub facing the trees, and a netted lounge perfect for stargazing or simply curling up together. It’s the kind of place that feels like it was made for two – making it the ideal resort for anniversary celebrations that are quiet, personal, and unforgettable.
What makes an anniversary stay even more meaningful are the moments you share beyond the treehouse – and here, those moments are easy to find. Couples can venture out to Campana Falls, just a short walk from the resort, where you can dip your toes in cool mountain waters and enjoy a quiet slice of nature together. For a little more adventure, take a scenic drive to Moalboal for a day trip filled with coastal charm and laid-back local spots. Free access to bicycles means you can explore nearby mountain trails at your own pace, and if you time it right, you’ll catch a breathtaking sunset from the cliffside, painting the sky in soft pinks and golds. And when the day winds down, nothing beats returning to your treehouse for a relaxing in-room massage, the perfect way to end a day of connection, laughter, and love.
Of course, no anniversary is complete without a special meal – and at Treehouse de Valentine, dining is part of the magic. The resort’s exclusive in-house bistro serves up comforting, home-style Filipino dishes in a cozy mountain setting, open only to staying guests. Think candlelit dinners under the trees, warm bowls of champorado on misty mornings, and shared plates of crispy pork belly or buttered chicken after a long, love-filled day. Whether you’re celebrating with something sweet and simple or planning a full-course meal for the occasion, the food here wraps you in the same quiet comfort as the forest itself. It’s this thoughtful balance of nature, flavor, and intimacy that makes Treehouse de Valentine a perfect resort for anniversary getaways – where every meal is made to be savored slowly, together.

If you’re the kind of couple who loves a little exploring, Balamban has a few gems up its sleeve – all just a short drive from the resort. Stroll hand-in-hand through the colorful blooms of Buwakan ni Alejandra, a garden that feels like a painting comes to life, or enjoy a peaceful picnic with panoramic views at Florentino’s Eco Park, often called the “Little Tagaytay of Cebu.” For something playful and lighthearted, Adventure Café offers ziplining and fun challenges if you’re up for a bit of adrenaline and laughter. These little detours add an extra layer of adventure to your romantic escape – turning your anniversary into a shared story full of sweet surprises and scenic moments.
