“As the largest eco-development of Ayala Land south of Manila, Nuvali was intended to be an estate geared towards building an environmentally sustainable community. Nuvali is located in Sta. Rosa, Cabuyao and Calamba, Laguna, in a 2,290- hectare mixed-use estate that has made eco-living into reality. About 50% of the estate is dedicated to green and open spaces with natural and man-made attractions that encourage outdoor adventure.

Shop ‘til you drop. Christmas time is the perfect excuse to shop!
