My First Valza Experience in the Philippines

I had an incredible opportunity to experience a unique floating venue—a valza—while spending quality time with my partner’s extended family. This first-time adventure was both relaxing and memorable, setting the stage for a day filled with laughter, delicious food, and serene moments.

Discovering ValzAlcedo in New Washington, Aklan

Our journey took us to ValzAlcedo, a charming valza located in New Washington, Aklan. We were there to celebrate a special birthday within my partner’s family, making it the perfect occasion to enjoy a delightful lunch on board. ValzAlcedo stands out as a hidden gem, offering a blend of traditional charm and modern comforts.

A Spacious and Innovative Layout

The valza impressed me with its thoughtful design and spacious layout. It featured distinct areas for dining and lounging, ensuring that every guest could find a comfortable spot to relax. One of its most unique features was a square opening that could be fitted with an additional basket-like structure. This design allowed guests to dip their feet or even enjoy a little swim, adding an extra element of fun to the experience.

Embracing Nature and Comfort

The day was enhanced by the fresh air and cool breeze, creating an atmosphere of pure relaxation. The exceptional food complemented the natural setting perfectly, making every bite a delightful experience. One of the highlights was the second floor of the valza—a cozy space ideal for a quick nap or simply soaking in panoramic views of the tranquil waters.

Reflecting on a Memorable Journey

This adventure wasn’t just about celebrating a birthday—it was about discovering a new way to connect with nature and appreciate the innovative spirit of local design. The serene waters, inviting ambiance, and warm hospitality left a lasting impression on me, inspiring a deeper appreciation for the simple joys in life.
