Fitness and recreation are equally prioritized here. Members can enjoy indoor golf, pickleball, yoga, and Pilates, ensuring well-being remains a focus amidst a busy schedule. Balesin City strikes a perfect balance, providing a space where productivity and relaxation coexist harmoniously.
Balesin Pines – A Mountainside Haven
Nestled near Baguio City, Balesin Pines emerges as a tranquil escape surrounded by nature’s splendor.

Balesin Island – A Tropical Retreat Enhanced
Balesin Island continues to shine as a premier tropical destination, now enriched with impressive updates. The villas in Balesin Village, redesigned by Head of Design Rico Sison, feature light-filled interiors and elegant finishes that embody island luxury. These refreshed spaces offer a sophisticated yet serene environment for guests to unwind.
Beyond the villas, adventure awaits aboard the M/Y Obsession, a 38.5-meter superyacht sporting a sleek new look and upgraded interiors. Members can embark on scenic boat tours to “Secret Beach” or “Turtle Cove,” or engage in water activities like kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling. The island’s coral reef rehabilitation efforts have revitalized its marine life, making every aquatic experience visually stunning.
Dining options have also been refined. Bali Warung serves authentic Indonesian cuisine, Costa del Sol Casa Grande offers Spanish-inspired dishes, and Han-Gang Mama Lee brings Korean flavors to the table. Classics like kilawin at Clubhouse Dining and Fish Fun remain beloved staples, ensuring a memorable culinary journey.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Balesin’s evolution goes beyond luxury—it’s deeply rooted in sustainability. By September, a solar farm will generate up to 60% of Balesin Island’s energy, significantly reducing its environmental impact. In April, Hiraya Farm will open for immersive tours, collaborating with Gourmet Farms to optimize the island’s produce. Guests can enjoy native snacks and teas crafted from fresh, homegrown ingredients, bringing a true farm-to-table experience to life.
This harmonious blend of indulgence and responsibility underscores Balesin’s dedication to preserving its natural beauty while delivering world-class amenities.

Leading this ambitious venture is Alain Borgers, Alphaland’s Executive Vice President for Hospitality. With over four decades of experience, Borgers ensures that every guest encounter reflects the highest standards of service and luxury. His expertise reinforces Balesin’s reputation as a destination where every detail is meticulously considered.
From refreshed villas to innovative sustainability initiatives, Balesin Key members can expect a consistently exceptional experience across all three locations. It’s a testament to the club’s commitment to excellence.
