Hot Spring Vacation Homes for Sale in Los Banos, Laguna

Los Banos sits on a geothermal zone at the foot of Mt. Makiling. Properties in areas like Lakewood have dual water supply - both regular water and natural hot spring water piped directly to lots. This allows you to build private hot spring pools without drilling, a feature no other South Luzon destination offers.

Yes, and hot spring properties perform exceptionally well. Unlike Tagaytay (cool weather dependent) or Nasugbu (summer seasonal), hot springs have year-round appeal. Many Lakewood properties operate as successful private resorts on Airbnb with 50-70% occupancy. Always verify HOA rules before buying.

Los Banos is approximately 1.5-2 hours from Manila via SLEX. Take the Calamba exit and proceed to Los Banos. The Lakewood subdivision is along the National Highway near Splash Mountain Resort, making it easily accessible.

Lakewood Resort Estates is the established 42-hectare development with existing hot spring infrastructure and operating private resorts. Spring Oaks Residences is the newer 17.7-hectare expansion by Sta. Lucia with 534 residential lots at lower entry prices (PHP 1-4M). Both have hot spring access and Mt. Makiling views.

Different value proposition. Tagaytay offers cool climate and established tourism. Los Banos offers hot springs - a unique amenity that creates year-round rental demand. Entry prices in Los Banos are generally lower, and the hot spring angle provides strong differentiation for Airbnb listings. Best for investors focused on rental income.

Beyond standard checks: (1) Verify the property actually has hot spring water access - not all Los Banos lots do, (2) Check water pressure and temperature, (3) Understand HOA rules on commercial use if planning Airbnb, (4) Verify pool construction permits, (5) Check if existing pools/structures are compliant.
