SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime), through its leisure resort residences developer Costa Del Hamilo Inc., is investing P3 billion in M Village, a flagship eco-resort community at Hamilo Coast’s Marina Estates.
M Village was recently recognized as Highly Commended Best Subdivision Development at the 13th PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards. The village is designed to deliver a complete marina lifestyle experience where waterways and green corridors are integral to daily life.
Located in Nasugbu, the 12-hectare M Village sits on the western seaboard of Batangas, facing the calmer side of the West Philippine Sea. The area is lined with deep, naturally sheltered coves like Papaya Cove, which make docking and anchorage safer than exposed beaches.
“M Village is a unique property because it combines upscale coastal living with seamless access to both nautical adventure and nature,” said Shirley C. Ong, Executive Vice President and Business Unit head of SM Leisure Resort Residences.
More than 60 percent of the estate will remain as open space and natural systems, wherein over four hectares will house shared amenities including a clubhouse, bi-level pools, a rain garden, family parks, an esplanade, and a wide lawn for gatherings. The first phase offers over 170 residential lots which allow residents to station 4- to 6-meter boats and jet skis right at their doorstep.
M Village brings together the expertise of Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo (WATG) Singapore as concept planner and Joel Luna Planning & Design as master planner. WATG is the global design firm behind Regent Bali Canggu, Nobu Residences Los Cabos, and several Four Seasons properties. Their involvement positions M Village as community built to global standards, with a premium aesthetic that aligns it with the world’s most distinctive coastal destinations.
According to Ong, market reception has been strong, with buyers securing units well ahead of the scheduled turnover in late 2028.
