Nuvali History

Long ago, the lands which are now occupied by Nuvali were once part of the land owned by the friars during the Spanish Colonial era. It was then acquired by a group of American entrepreneurs after the former Spanish masters were booted out of the country. They then developed the lands as a sugar plantation and in 1948. The land once again transferred ownership - this time to a Filipino statesman named Jose Yulo

Today, the former Friar land-turned-sugar plantation-turned high-end community is one of Laguna's pride. It doesn't stop there though, Nuvali is continuously being improved to satisfy the needs and the wants of its community and also the community around it.

Here's my favorite part of Nuvali: the lake with tons of carp!!!

Usually, when we say community, we'd be reminded of houses, streets, roads, and also buildings, but even if it is a high-end community, Nuvali is known for being a haven where man and nature coexist. Its 1860 hectare property is still covered with at least 80% nature. Nuvali's infrastructures were designed and built so that it would complement the beautiful scenery that surrounds it.
