More than a residential development, it is a philosophy of living well, where daily life feels less of a routine and more of a retreat.

Santiago R. Elizalde, President & CEO of Roxaco Land Corp., frames it best: “I believe the true benchmarks of value in real estate today are privacy, serenity, and security. Exclusivity naturally follows as part of how the Anya brand is positioned, but at its core, our vision is to create sanctuaries where people can retreat, recharge, and reconnect.”

A Location of Lasting Value

Tagaytay has long been one of the country’s most beloved destinations, prized for its cool climate and accessibility from Manila. In recent years, new infrastructure projects have reduced travel time to under 90 minutes, cementing its appeal not just for weekend leisure, but as a viable hub for premium residences.

Elizalde emphasizes how this accessibility fuels long-term appreciation: “With the continued growth of Metro Manila moving southward, infrastructure development has played a key role in making Tagaytay even more accessible. This accessibility, combined with Tagaytay’s enduring appeal, has fueled significant property appreciation in the area over the last five to seven years.”

For Anya Villas, location is just one layer of value. Anchored within the award-winning Anya Resort property, itself a member of the Small LuxuryLuxuryA lifestyle defined by exceptional quality, craftsmanship, exclusivity, and sophistication, encompassing the finest products, services, and experiences that represent the highest standards of refinement and excellence.Go to Luxury Glossary Hotels of the World and a consistent recipient of international accolades, the development inherits a reputation for excellence in design, facilities, and hospitality. “These accolades, along with the resort’s reputation for world-class hospitality, form a strong foundation for long-term value appreciation,” Elizalde adds.

Boutique Scale, Grand Vision

At the heart of Anya Villas’ identity is its rarity. Only 17 villas will ever be built, each situated on a generous 500-square-meter lot. “The decision to limit the development to only 17 villas stems directly from our core vision: to create a serene, private, and secure environment for our owners,” Elizalde explains.

This intentional scarcity reflects the brand’s boutique philosophy. “We believe that scale should never come at the expense of quality or experience. By limiting the number of villas, we can focus on delivering the highest standards of design, service, and long-term value,” he continues.

Full-Service Living, Redefined

Anya Villa interiors offer a generous and warm space, with an emphasis on light and bringing the outdoors in.

What makes Anya Villas distinctive is its fusion of residential ownership with the DNA of five-star hospitality. “At Anya Villas, ownership comes with the assurance of a truly worry-free lifestyle,” says Elizalde. “Each villa is supported by the same hospitality DNA that has made Anya Resort renowned—from dedicated concierge services to full-service property management.”
