Punta Fuego, also known as Point of Fire, is an 88-hectare flamed-shape exclusive residential resort in Nasugbu, Batangas. It has twelve white sand beaches, varied natural rock formations, underwater caves excellent for diving and snorkeling experience, and coral reefs with rich marine life. This flamed-shape peninsula is one of the three land masses jutting out of the coastline of Nasugbu into the South China Sea.

Sort of History

Historical accounts show Punta Fuego as the site of battle between the Spanish Galleon San Diego and the Dutch battleship Mauritius, which was said to carry a crew of pirates on December 14, 1600. “Fuego!” the Spanish captain commanded, “Fuego!”, thus the name Punta Fuego or point of fire.

Wonderful Development

Decades after the battle, Punta Fuego became the "Pedrosa's" and the "Roxas" Family Estates. During that time, there were no roads, electricity, and modern amenities, only white beaches and beautiful seas.

In 1997, Roxas Hacienda was developed into Peninsula de Punta Fuego by Landco Pacific Corporation and Roxaco Land Corporation. While in 2001, the Pedrosa Family estate was developed into another enclave in Punta Fuego, the Terrazas de Punta Fuego, by PeACE, Landco, and Roxaco. Their goal to build a premiere seaside residential community that will preserve the best of nature while introducing the modern amenities of a world-class resort was achieved. In 2001, the ceremonial ground-breaking signaled the start of development of Terrazas de Punta Fuego.
