Bannering itself as “the gateway to excitement and adventure in the Bicol Region,” Naga City is best known as “the happy place,” as Nagueños are said to be perennially smiling and welcoming. Naga City possibly has more nicknames than any other Philippine city, including “One of the Seven Golden Cities of the Sun” as dubbed by Nick Joaquin himself. It has also earned for itself a number of accolades, like one of the “Most Business-Friendly Cities in Asia,” and 2022’s “Most Competitive Component City in the Philippines.”
Naga City is also the Bicol Region’s business, commercial, educational, financial, medical, cultural, and religious center; as well as the premier tourist service center for Region V. Serendipitously, it is also where Santerra by Vista Estates is rising as both a nature and lifestyle city.
Santerra is located in the middle of Naga City, which itself is in the center of Camarines Sur. Sitting at the southeastern portion of Luzon, Naga City is connected to the country’s capital via the Maharlika and Andaya Highways. Situated at the “Heart of Bicol,” it is also the hub for goods from both Manila and the Visayas.
Santerra is conveniently perched between uptown and downtown Naga. To its left is downtown Naga, which contains the city’s CBDs. To its right is uptown Naga that abounds in nature-inspired attractions such as hot springs, waterfalls, and Mt. Isarog Natural Park.
Santerra… Right in the heart of everything
Dedicated largely to nature and designed to foster holistic wellness, Santerra is named from conjoining the Latin words “sani” for health and “terra” for earth. “Terra” is actually the Roman goddess of the earth. Thus, in tribute to the goddess and Vista Estates’ dream to elevate the lives of its residents, the 64-hectare development is being blueprinted as a nature reserve within which residences––both vertical and horizontal—commercial hubs, and business centers will nestle.
Anchored on wellness, Santerra will be an urban respite where city living perfectly melds with nature’s abundance—allowing one to live a more zen and serene lifestyle.
The green metropolis will dedicate areas as plant sanctuaries, and has been master planned to respond to the many aspects of wellness. Physical wellness will be nourished by places for exercise and sports; as well as groceries, restaurants, and shops that will offer healthier and eco-friendly choices. Sustainable building and better air quality will further help strengthen the body. The estate has close proximity to the region’s top educational institutions and will answer the needs for mental wellness. One’s emotional and social wellness will be nurtured by a feeling of community that will foster family values and neighborly bonding. A church within the metropolis will feed the spiritual wellness needs of the residents. Beyond all this, Santerra will be a place where the land is held sacred. In response to today’s much-needed environmental wellness, there will be materials recovery facilities around the estate, as well as recycling, segregation, and carbon emission reduction programs.
