Roxaco Land Corp., led by chairman Pedro Roxas and president and CEO Santiago "Santi" Elizalde, is set to start next month the expansion of its 7.2-hectare Anya Resorts Tagaytay property. The expansion would complete the third phase of the development of the resort covering over two hectares.

The completed initial first and second phase covered five hectares encompassing the 72-suite hotel resort and a private residential area comprising eight villas.

The expansion was revealed by Anya Hospitality Group managing director Juan Roca and Anya Resort general manager Mikel Arriet over the weekend.

According to Roca, the third phase of development would involve the construction of bigger and more exclusive villas that would cater to guests seeking more privacy. Access to the new development may even be separate from the existing resort as a creek actually separates the existing property.

Anya Resorts GM Mikel Arriet added that the expansion would also involve the construction of a much more comprehensive wellness facility that would expand the spa and personal fitness services already offered by its existing Niyama Wellness Center.

The new wellness facility, Arriet said, would include more treatments and offer vitamin and hydration drips in addition to the inner journey retreats, movement classes and mindful dining already offered at Niyama.

The new development, of course, offers the same investment opportunity to interested investors who want to buy a unit through which they can earn a revenue share under the management of AHG. Completion of the new expansion, Arriet said, could take two to three years.
