This heritage resort in the small fishing village of Bagac, Bataan spans a total of 400 hectares. And though only 26 hectares of the vast area has been developed so far, the historical resort continues to grow.

The site houses several exquisite heritage houses, some of which are replicas, but the majority of which are the actual structures, carefully deconstructed at their original site, transported, reconstructed in Bagac, and then restored.
