SM Leisure Resort Residences, a subsidiary of listed property developer SM Prime Holdings Inc., is reintroducing its expansive Hamilo Coast in Batangas—not just as a weekend escape, but as a permanent address—with the launch of Pico Terraces, a mid-rise residential enclave nestled within 2.3 hectares of prime seaside real estate.
Unlike traditional resort communities, Pico Terraces is designed with permanence in mind. With 80 percent of its land dedicated to open space, the development strikes a balance between privacy and immersion in nature. Project completion is slated for December 2027.
Set within Pico de Loro Cove, Pico Terraces offers easy access to key amenities: just an eight-minute walk to Pico Beach and six minutes to both the Beach Club and Country Club. Its 211 units—housed in the Ardea and Balea Suites—come in one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts, catering to varied lifestyle needs.
“Pico Terraces is envisioned for families and individuals seeking a life shaped by both comfort and nature,” said Shirley C. Ong, executive vice president and business unit head of SM Leisure. “It offers enough distance to disconnect, yet remains within reach for ease of access.”
Only two hours from Metro Manila and 72 kilometers from SM Mall of Asia, the development makes both mountains and the sea equally accessible—perfect for impromptu retreats or extended stays.
Homeowners also enjoy membership at the Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club, which offers an array of land and sea activities—from coastal diving and kayaking to nature trails, camping, and indoor sports like bowling, basketball, and pickleball.
“Pico Terraces is a premium coastal community in tune with the modern desire for slower, more intentional living,” Ong added.
