Panay Island, home to nearly four million people of Malay royalty and Ati descent, is a treasure trove of marine life and agricultural bounty. Located amidst the Sibuyan Sea, Panay comprises the Visayan provinces of Iloilo, Antique, Aklan, Capiz, and Guimaras.
Known for its colorful history, progressive urbanization, entrepreneurship, and natural wealth, Panay is an excellent place to do business and grow one’s family and future. Panay is also a top tourist destination in the country, boasting pristine azure seas, a fascinating history, a rich cultural heritage, abundant natural resources, and a stunning coastline. Its verdant cliff sides and fine white-sand beaches, including the internationally acclaimed Boracay Island, make it a paradise for families seeking a place to build their future.
Camella, the most trusted and preferred homebuilder in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, has expanded into Panay with two major communities in Aklan and Capiz.
Aklan: A bewitching blend of history and modernity
Aklan, bordered by Capiz and Antique, is the oldest province in the Philippines. It is one of the few provinces with virgin forests and boasts a delightful diversity of geography, with over 30% of the province on mountains or foothills and the rest on rich flatlands, mangrove bayous, and white sand beaches.
Aklan’s natural heterogeneity offers a diverse spread of agricultural and marine produce, unique arts and crafts, and a progressive urban sprawl blending ancient landmarks with modern amenities. The province is home to one of the country’s fastest-growing international airports that attracts visitors and investors from Korea, China, Hong Kong, and the Philippines daily.
Taking advantage of all these features for Filipino families, Camella has chosen to build an expansive, 11-hectare development in Barangay Jayao-Jayao, Numancia, at the center of bustling Metro Kalibo, Aklan’s capital. The Italian-inspired community is built on a circular master plan radiating from a beautifully landscaped rotunda. A tree-lined avenue leads to a broad collection of homes in soothing colors of Mediterranean earth, seashells, and sunlight. Each home carries the homebuilder’s excellent knack for space-planning and creating comfortable and flexible floor plans.
An Italian-inspired clubhouse serves as the heart of the delightful community, offering rooms for intimate functions and grand celebrations. Rejuvenating green spaces, including parks, gardens, and nature paths for biking and strolling, as well as a swimming pool, ball court and playground, enhance the community’s recreational activities, especially during summer.
The community is conveniently located just 10 minutes from Kalibo, offering residents access to essential amenities, schools, hospitals, businesses, and landmarks. Hospitals like Dr. Rafael Tumbokon Memorial Hospital and St. Gabriel and St. Jude are within nine minutes, while colleges like Aklan Catholic, Aklan Polytechnic, Northwestern Visayan, and Aklan State University are accessible within eight minutes. Gaisano Mall is just a seven-minute drive, and other attractions like the Doña Crispina Beach Resort and Hotel, Museo It Akean, and Bakawan Eco-Park, are nearby. The public market is conveniently located outside the entrance, and Caticlan Port is just an hour away, leading to the enchanting Boracay.
Capiz: Where nature and progress merge seamlessly
Right beside Aklan, sharing its northern coastline, is the first-class province of Capiz. It features an 80-kilometer coastline with rich fishing grounds and mangrove swamps converted into fishponds. Its unique brackish water, found nowhere else, supports marine life and aquaculture, earning it the title “The Seafood Capital of the Philippines.” These swamps produce some of the world’s finest milkfish, crabs, prawns, shrimp, scallops, oysters, and the famous Diwal-or Angel wing clams.
Capiz, with its rich history, was once part of Aklan and a Malay stronghold until the Spanish, led by Miguel Lopez de legazpi, landed on our shores. The Spanish were said to be amazed by the island’s lushness and exclaimed, “Pan hay en esta isla!” (there’s bread in this island!). According to historians, this could be the origin of the island’s name of “Pan-ay” in Capiz. Panay became the Spanish’s second settlement in the country after Cebu with Capiz as the seat of Christianity. The Philippine’s second oldest church and Asia’s largest church bell can be found in the province. The name Capiz itself is derived from the word “kapid,” meaning twin, as the Datu’s wife was said to have just given birth to twin daughters when the Spanish arrived.
Amidst the captivating history and magical wealth of resources Capiz offers, Camella chose to create a centerpiece for successful living. Built on 12 rolling hectares in Barangay Sibaguan, Roxas City, Camella Capiz is a Spanish-inspired haven decked with homes in the colors of the Mediterranean sunlight as it bounces off cliff side rocks and beached coral. A central rotunda that greets residents and guests upon entering the property’s securely guarded gates welcomes one into a haven of plazas and parks lushly landscaped in the colors and blooms of the Spanish foothills. Camella Capiz offers a selection of model homes that carry the same flexible and exquisite space planning the developer is known for.
At the community’s core is a clubhouse featuring function rooms, a swimming pool, ball courts and playgrounds, as well as open spaces, and biking and jogging lanes where homeowners and guests can bond and rejuvenate.
Camella Capiz, conveniently located in Roxas City, offers easy access to business, healthcare, entertainment, and education. The city airport, beach, and deep-sea port are within a short drive, while public transport provides seamless movement. Camella provides the perfect community for showcasing Capiz’s thriving business environment.
