PERCHED HIGH ON a steep hill with a front-row view of the world-famous Taal Lake and Volcano, Casa Alegria is more than just a stay—it’s a soulful escape. With its eight well-appointed rooms, a cozy dining area for hearty breakfasts and dinners, an infinity pool that seems to spill into the horizon, and a jacuzzi that bubbles away the city noise, this Tagaytay gem invites families, friends, and dreamers to breathe in the town’s all-time cool, misty air.
Built amid a forest-like setting, Casa Alegria is both a sanctuary of rest and a statement of purpose—a living, breathing space for peace, regeneration, and sustainability. It’s the kind of place where you arrive to unwind but leave a little more inspired.
And now, this haven of harmony is taking its commitment to the next level. In recognition of its unwavering dedication to environmental stewardship, sustainability, and peace-building, Casa Alegria Tagaytay will be officially conferred as a United Nations Association Peace Center.
As if that weren’t enough, Casa Alegria will also become a Global Citizens Hub of the United Network of Global Citizens (UNGC)—a vibrant space where changemakers, innovators, and leaders can come together to nurture dialogue, strengthen cooperation, and shape a shared future for all.
Chosen as a UN Peace Center for its active role in promoting peace, culture, and sustainable tourism, Casa Alegria stands as proof that local destinations can do more than just host—they can heal. This milestone comes in time for the United Nations’ 80th Anniversary, celebrating communities like Casa Alegria that bring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to life in tangible, heartfelt ways.
Adding to the celebration, Casa Alegria’s founder, Sir Alvin Carranza—visionary entrepreneur, environmental advocate, and restless dreamer—has been invited to join the Advisory Board of the World Changers Academy (WCA). His leadership and life’s work embody what the Academy stands for: nurturing global citizens and future-ready leaders with compassion, creativity, and conscience.
This dual recognition paints Casa Alegria not merely as a retreat for rest, but as a beacon of unity, peace, and global citizenship—a place where beauty meets purpose, and where every sunrise over Taal whispers hope.
A special conferment ceremony will take place on October 18, 2025, at Casa Alegria, Tagaytay, gathering voices from government, civil society, business, academe, faith communities, international organizations, and media. Together, they’ll celebrate a vision that rises above the clouds—one that proves peace can, indeed, have an address.
Casa Alegria Tagaytay: A sanctuary for the soul. A home for world changers.
