Why a Farm Stay Is the Perfect BER Months Getaway

The BER months have officially arrived, and for many Filipinos, that means the holiday season is just around the corner. As the weather gets cooler and Christmas plans start filling the calendar, it is also the perfect time to plan a relaxing getaway with family, friends, or loved ones.

Instead of spending your BER months in crowded malls or busy city destinations, why not slow down and enjoy a peaceful escape surrounded by nature?

SHALOM offers a refreshing way to spend the season. With fresh air, open spaces, outdoor activities, and comfortable accommodations, it gives you the opportunity to rest while still enjoying meaningful experiences with the people you love.

Here are some reasons why a farm stay at SHALOM can be the perfect BER months getaway.

1. Enjoy a Break From the City

The holiday season can be exciting, but it can also become overwhelming. Between shopping, traffic, work deadli

nes, and holiday gatherings, finding time to slow down can be difficult.

A farm stay gives you a chance to step away from the usual routine. Instead of spending your weekend surrounded by crowds and traffic, you can wake up to greener surroundings, breathe in fresh air, and enjoy a slower pace.

For those living in or around Metro Manila, Alfonso, Cavite is a convenient destination for a quick countryside escape without having to travel too far.

2. Experience a Different Kind of Staycation

A staycation does not always have to mean staying inside a hotel room.

A farm stay lets you experience the outdoors while still having a comfortable place to rest. You can spend your morning enjoying the peaceful surroundings, explore the property during the day, and return to a cozy accommodation when it is time to relax.

It is a great option for travelers looking for something beyond the usual city hotel experience.

3. Spend Quality Time With Family and Friends

The BER months are all about spending more time with the people who matter. A farm getaway creates more opportunities to disconnect from busy schedules and simply enjoy being together.

Families can spend the day exploring, eating together, and enjoying outdoor activities. Friends can use the getaway as an opportunity to catch up, take photos, play games, or simply enjoy a change of scenery.

Sometimes, the best part of a trip is not the destination itself but the time you get to spend together.

4. Enjoy Nature and Outdoor Activities

One of the biggest advantages of staying somewhere surrounded by nature is having plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

A farm stay can be a great starting point for a variety of experiences, from peaceful walks and outdoor games to farm activities and recreational experiences.

At SHALOM, guests can enjoy a peaceful environment while having access to a variety of outdoor activities, including archery, airsoft, pickleball, basketball, swimming, and more fun experiences within Camp Benjamin. 

5. Explore Alfonso and Its Countryside

It is a great destination for those who want to enjoy nature, experience cooler weather, and escape the busier parts of popular tourist areas. 

Staying in Alfonso also gives you the flexibility to enjoy both the peaceful countryside and nearby Tagaytay attractions during your trip.

6. Start Planning Your Holiday Getaway Early

The BER months can go by quickly. Before you know it, Christmas parties, reunions, and family gatherings will fill the calendar.

Planning your getaway early gives you more time to choose your preferred dates and accommodation. It also gives you something to look forward to as the holiday season approaches.
