Greenbelt

In the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila, where the cold grey of concrete is more prominent than natural greens, it is hard to imagine an area of leisure and recreation where one can enjoy the fresh air. However, an idyllic place like this does exist in the heart of Makati City, a place lush with greenery and watery pools: Greenbelt.

Developed by Ayala Land Inc., Greenbelt started out as a single mall, which is now known as Greenbelt 1. Since then, the area has been further cultivated to make way for the beautiful parks and gardens that give a breath of life to the city. Three more malls have been put up (Greenbelts 2 to 4), and all four buildings are connected by airy walkways.

Greenbelt's parks and gardens are populated by a wide range of greenery, from orchids to bamboo and palm trees. Moreover, each area has its own theme, like the tropical garden and the zen garden. And in the midst of nature's beauty sits a small chapel that holds regular services; what better way to renew the spirit?

Even the buildings and structures contribute to the laid-back ambiance of the place. Drawing inspiration from Asian and Zen style, they are designed unlike any other mall in the city. Space has also been provided for performance and event venues, and benches made available for those who want to just sit down and take in the atmosphere. Fountains and ponds alive with its own animal population add to the relaxing feel.

The malls themselves provide a variety of choices in entertainment and leisure. The cinemas are some of the best in the country, and the shops offer just about everything the discriminating shopper desires. Furthermore, one can choose from many bars, restaurants and cafés where they can have a meal or enjoy the nightlife.

So if you ever find yourself craving for a quick getaway from the stresses of daily life, your ticket to a relaxing escape is just a stone's throw away from the business center of Makati. Give yourself a break and visit Greenbelt.
