Infinity Pool Resorts in Rizal With a View: Lake, Mountain and City Lights
Infinity pool resorts in Rizal with a view: City on a Hill, Luljetta's and Thunderbird, plus lake and mountain view resorts, and how to check an infinity pool before booking.
Only a few resorts in Rizal have a true infinity-edge pool with a view, and we could confirm three from their own pages or booking listings: City on a Hill Private Villas in Binangonan (a private infinity plunge pool in each villa over Laguna de Bay), Luljetta's Hanging Gardens and Spa in Antipolo (infinity pools in its cliffside spa), and Thunderbird Resorts Rizal in Binangonan (advertised as an infinity pool by some listings). Punta de Fabian in Baras, Bakasyunan in Tanay and Altaroca in Antipolo have view settings but not a confirmed infinity edge. Pick by view: the lake and Sierra Madre from Binangonan, mountains and the city from Antipolo.
Disclosure: this guide is published by City on a Hill Private Villas, the first entry below. We describe our villas from first-hand knowledge; the other resorts are described from their own pages, the Rizal provincial tourism directory and booking listings, linked under Sources. Updated October 2026.

1. City on a Hill Private Villas, Binangonan
Each of the three villas, Zachary, Zoie and Zuriel, has its own 28 sqm infinity plunge pool with a jacuzzi about 2 ft deep, used only by the group renting that villa. The pools look over Laguna de Bay and Talim Island, with the Pililla windmills and the Sierra Madre to the east and the Metro Manila skyline to the west after dark. Zachary faces the sunrise, Zoie the lake and windmills, and Zuriel the sunset and city lights.
- Heating: jacuzzi heating is a paid add-on in Zachary and Zoie, not yet available in Zuriel; the pool itself is not heated.
- Group size: 20 guests as standard; up to 25 in Zachary or Zuriel and 30 in Zoie with approval at ₱500 per extra guest; 60 to 80 across all three.
- Rules: no lifeguard, so adults watch children; no running or diving.
See the pool and jacuzzi guide and which villa sees which view.
2. Luljetta's Hanging Gardens and Spa, Antipolo
Luljetta's sits on the cliffside of the Loreland property in San Roque, with gardens looking toward the mountains of Antipolo. Its spa day pass, as sold on Klook, includes the infinity pools, a heated jacuzzi, a hydro-massage pool and saunas. The pools are part of the spa and shared with other spa guests.
Best for: couples and small groups who want a spa day with a view. Check: age rules and whether an overnight room includes spa access.
3. Thunderbird Resorts Rizal, Binangonan
Thunderbird's own site describes the resort overlooking the Sierra Madre, with room views of Laguna de Bay in the morning and the Manila skyline at night. Some booking listings advertise an infinity pool; others simply list an outdoor pool, and some guest reviews mention pool upkeep. Ask which pool your package includes and whether it faces the lake.
View resorts without a confirmed infinity edge
- Punta de Fabian, Baras: lakefront suites and a lagoon-shaped pool with a jacuzzi on three hectares, per the provincial and Baras municipal tourism pages.
- Bakasyunan, Tanay: described by the provincial office as a forest setting with a cool climate and panoramic views; listings show two outdoor pools and a children's pool.
- Altaroca, Antipolo: a mountain resort whose listings describe three outdoor pools and a children's pool, one set among bamboo.
Private pool houses on Airbnb sometimes have infinity edges too. Ask for a photo taken from the pool edge, not only the drone shot.
Lake, mountain or city lights: which view?
| View | Where in Rizal | Best time |
|---|---|---|
| Laguna de Bay | Binangonan ridge, Baras lakeshore | Golden hour, about an hour before sunset |
| Sierra Madre | Tanay highlands, eastern Binangonan, Antipolo | Clear dry-season mornings, roughly December to May |
| Metro Manila lights | West-facing slopes of Antipolo and Binangonan | About 20 minutes after sunset, on clear evenings |
Haze often softens afternoon views; clear mornings after rain give the sharpest mountains.
How to check an "infinity pool" before you book
- Ask for a recent photo or video from the pool edge, showing the view.
- Is the pool private to your group, or shared with other guests or day visitors?
- How deep is it, and is there a shallow area for children?
- Is the pool or jacuzzi heated, and what does heating cost?
- Is there a lifeguard? If not, who supervises children?
- What are the pool hours, and is night swimming allowed?
