The Casa Amara View
From the main highway, we turned left going to Brgy. Imelda. The access road is rough, but our companions who were in their subcompacts easily handled the terrain. A few meters from Casa Amara, an overlooking view of the sea will greet you and we immediately realized then that this will be a different San Juan experience. Casa Amara itself looks like a castle from afar, situated on top of a cliff, right beside the sea. We get mixed feelings of excitement, anticipation, and fear because of how high the house in relation to the sea below.
Get ready for an amazing long weekend this March!
Bambu is an events place, cafe & bar, resort located at Daang Janopol, Brgy. Santor, Tanauan, Batangas offering Asian and American cuisine by Chef Abe Arayata, and Chef Ariel Atienza. A private modernized farm built for the perfect outdoor and indoor dining experience. Surrounded by bamboo trees where family, friends, and loved ones can enjoy the spacious ambiance and fresh air. The perfect getaway for any special occasion, and holiday getaways.
Bambu started as a rest house of the Arayata family. Then, luckily Mr. Abe Arayata the son of the owner got inspired to be a chef and to create his own restaurant someday because of his grandparents who taught him how to cook when he was young. He saw the potential in the place and created multiple services such as a restaurant, events place, and a resort inside.
Today, Bambu is a family-owned business not only known for its exclusivity, but also for its delicacies such as Tahong Sisig, Hamonado Crispy Pata, Garlic Rose Mary Pork Ribs, and Kalabasa Cheesecake. It’s a farm to table restaurant by Chef Abe Arayata a graduate from Enderun Colleges, and Chef Ariel Atienza our local chef who worked at a 5-star hotel in Saudi Arabia.

The Bamboo Plants are a personal collection of the owner’s grandfather and father. Parking space can also accommodate a lot of vehicles because the place is intended to cater to tourists who travel to Batangas and nearby cities and municipalities like Tagaytay and Laguna.

Aside from being the owner, he is also the head chef of Bambu. His love for cooking was the influence of his mother and his grandmother.
His passion for cooking was influenced by his mother and grandmother. At first, the place was just a farm and a rest house used by the family. After graduation, he thought of investing for the betterment of the place and eventually developed it into a restaurant. He is also fond of organic farming, the herbs that they are using for their dishes are found within their backyard. As for the meat and seafood ingredients, they purposely restrict the number of inventory to guarantee the quality of every dish. Customers may call ahead of time to secure a specific meal. Menu Chef Abe is very fond of Filipino cuisine and a fan of the dishes cooked by his mother and grandmother thus giving him inspiration for the menu plus some twist to entice your palate.
Bambu Cafe Bar and Events also gives opportunities to local talents as they are open for local bands to perform on the restaurant and local entrepreneurs as they have a corner for local products here in Batangas.

Worshops and Retreat:

Community Advocacy
Sefriya draws inspiration from the quiet wisdom of nature—how the sun, the river, and the flowers exist not for themselves, but to give and sustain life around them. We believe that true beauty mirrors this pattern of generosity, which is why Sefriya is more than just a hotel and farm in Alitagtag—it is a social enterprise rooted in service. Our mission is to create a space that nurtures not only rest and reflection but also opportunity and upliftment for the local community.
In response to the challenges brought by the pandemic, Sefriya became a place of hope, employing locals based on heart and potential, not just credentials. Thirty percent of our profits are reinvested in community development projects, including our flagship Sefriya Scholarship Program, which supports students with both promise and purpose. Every stay at Sefriya helps fuel dreams, build futures, and create a deeper kind of restoration—one that extends far beyond the self.
