Amara By the Sea

11/27/2009

The sea is a source of life. It never ceases to give us gifts of wonder and worth. This is why communities are born by the sea or around bodies of water. Cebu boasts of one such community, Amara. This is a high-end seaside residential development that sits on a 46-hecatare spread in Barangay Catarman, Liloan, Cebu, only 18 kilometers from the city. It includes Horizon lots perched on the promontory of Catarman with a panoramic view of the Camotes Sea. It is a joint venture project of Ayala land affiliate, Cebu Holdings, Inc., with Coastal Highpoint Ventures Development, Inc.

The term amara is derived from the Spanish word for the mooring rope used to anchor ships at port. Amara was so named to convey the idea of home where a family will find safe harbor. Amara also incorporates the Spanish words “mar”, the sea, and “amar”, to love, which is in fact the essence of the place. It is a place by the sea that you would certainly love.

Our ancestors could not have been wrong in choosing to live by seas and waterways. It is not just a life source for a multitude of living things, but likewise provides a source of regeneration and renewal. An exceptional quality of life is indeed found here, by the sea, where one gets fresh air, daily views of the sunset, peace and tranquillity.

Another remarkable feature found within the community is the century old Spanish lighthouse of Bagacay. Such structures are fascinating, since it brings one back in time and inspires feelings of safety and awe. It gives a historic view of the past, as well as guaranteeing a great view of the horizon every time. Imagine waking up each morning to marvel at that sight!

Amara also offers amenities for other activities from social and active to quiet and relaxing. On site stands a word-class clubhouse spacious enough to host three social functions simultaneously, swimming pools on different levels, pocket parks, and a sports center.

Walking through connecting parks, amid lush or manicured landscaping, even down to the sea front is a breathtaking experience which residents and guests of Amara can certainly enjoy. Amara is a seaside haven where you can rejuvenate your spirit and revitalize family ties. It is truly a pearl of great price, a gift of wonder and worth.
