Rizal Date Ideas: What to Do, Where to Go and Where to Eat for A Romantic Date in Antipolo

Dates in Manila tend to look very similar to one another: going to the movies, eating in popular restaurants, or taking a stroll through the mall. So if you and your significant other are looking to change it up, you will love what Antipolo can offer.

With its fresh air, scenic sights, and a recognition of being the country's capital of art, you can already imagine a plethora of exciting things to do in Antipolo. If you’d like to take your special someone up north to Antipolo, Rizal, here are some activities and sights to consider on your itinerary:

If relaxation is at the top of the itinerary, Luljetta's Hanging Gardens is the place to go! Here you can really relax and indulge in a spa experience like no other with quality spa facilities, infinity and hydro-massage pools, plus an unobstructed view of Rizal’s lush green forests. Book a treat for you and special someone, and we can guarantee that they’ll have the most amazing time!

If you’re a couple that’s all about fun and adventure, an ATV ride through the scenic sights of Antipolo city can’t be beat. Not many couples would consider an ATV ride for a date, but that’s where they’re wrong! With a handful of trails to choose from, you can opt for a more scenic ride through Rizal’s lush green forests, or a more thrilling trail with challenging roads and rivers! Either one, we can assure you it’ll make for an enjoyable date. 

One of the best things about Rizal is the access to nature, and at Masungi Georeserve you’ll have nothing short of that. The 600-million year old rainforest is situated along the Sierra Madre  range and boasts some of the most impressive flora and fauna you could ever imagine! Needless to say, this opportunity will be a great way to reconnect with nature once again.

As a relatively long excursion (involving hikes, rope courses, and cave hopping to name a few), choosing to do this activity with your s/o would surely be an enriching experience. The best part? You can get a discount on your Masungi Georeserve Day Tour on Klook, too!

It doesn’t matter if you’ve been here before, a visit to Pinto Art Museum post-quarantine might just be an entirely different experience compared to your previous visit. With safety measures in place, the gallery can only accommodate a handful of guests at a time, allowing you and your partner the opportunity to enjoy your stay, and finally maybe take those photos free of photo-bombers.

Feast your eyes on the best 360-degree view of Metro Manila, Laguna de Bay, Sierra Madre Mountains and even the sunset, while enjoying a socially-distanced meal with a loved one. ArtSector Gallery and Chimney Cafe 360 has gained popularity over the past few months for its stunning overlooking views, and not to mention its unique gallery - which you can explore for only Php 200! A lunch and gallery date all in one? Yes please!
