Green Canyon Eco Art Resort: Tarlac’s Secret Nature-Filled Hideaway is Just a Short Roadtrip Away

Located in the borderline of Clark Freeport Zone and Bamban in Tarlac, Green Canyon Eco Art Resort is less than a 3-hour drive from Metro Manila, making it an easy choice to be part of your roadtrip travel bucket list.

When people think of spending weekends and vacations up north, they typically think of the beaches of Pangasinan or La Union, the chilly weather and beautiful pine trees of Baguio, or the heritage sites in Ilocos. Little do people know that there’s an eco art resort located in the borderline of Clark Freeport Zone and Bamban, Tarlac. Green Canyon Eco Art Resort is less than a 3-hour drive from Metro Manila. It's easily accessible, and should make it in your local travel bucket list!

Green Canyon Eco Art Resort promotes positivity of nature and wellness. Their aim is to provide for their guests a getaway venue experience that is engaged with various outdoor recreational activities and comfortable amenities. The resort also helps local communities by employing Aetas from the nearby village.

You may opt for a day tour or an overnight stay at this unique nature-filled hotel. Let’s take a stroll around the 29 hectare property, shall we?

Green Canyon wants to connect people of different backgrounds to the beauty of nature, so they carefully planned everything – from the location down to the design of the hotel and other amenities. The hotel’s intelligent design minimizes heat and optimizes the circulation of air in the structure, all while providing natural daylight and scenic views around the hotel.

The hotel lobby looks an art exhibit of its own because of exquisite wooden pieces. All featured accent art pieces found in the property are crafted by one of the owner’s sons, Filipino artist Niccolo Jose.
