There’s a current fitness craze going on in the Philippines—almost everyone we know is either in a run club, trying out pilates, going to a spinning class, playing padel or pickleball, or bouldering to their heart’s content. With wellness and movement becoming the ultimate status symbols, it’s no surprise that travel is following suit. Enter Timberland Highlands Resort, a dream destination for adventure lovers and fitness enthusiasts alike.
Nestled in the rolling foothills of the Sierra Madre, Timberland Highlands Resort is not just another weekend getaway—it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in an active lifestyle while surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. The crown jewel of the resort? Timberland Mountain Bike Park (TMBP), an adrenaline-pumping paradise for cyclists that has quickly become the go-to playground for thrill-seekers.
Celebrating its first anniversary, TMBP has redefined outdoor adventure by offering a purpose-built trail system designed to challenge and excite riders of all skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned biker looking to “Find Flow” on the trails or a newbie eager to “Share the Stoke” with a welcoming community, there’s a route that’s perfect for you.
A Trail for Every Thrill-Seeker
TMBP continues to raise the bar with new and improved trails. The latest additions include Parabellum, a fast and flowy downhill trail that winds through lush forested areas; Skyline, a scenic ride offering breathtaking views of Metro Manila; and Short Circuit, a quick and exciting option connecting riders from the Skills Zone to Launch Pad. Each trail is meticulously crafted to maximize the thrill factor while ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride.
The Dirt School
For those looking to refine their biking prowess, TMBP’s Dirt School is a game-changer. Offering expert instruction from industry-certified coaches, this program helps riders build confidence, improve technique, and conquer trails like pros. First-time visitors can also sign up for guided rides, ensuring a smooth and exciting introduction to the park’s dynamic terrain.
Ride More, Earn More
TMBP’s Rider Reward System makes every ride even more rewarding. The Stoken System encourages bikers to rack up miles by collecting wrist tags along the way. Five wrist tags equal one Stoken, which can be redeemed for exclusive perks—think free rides, limited-edition merchandise, and even coffee to fuel your next adventure. It’s a loyalty program designed for those who live to ride.
More Than Just Biking
Beyond mountain biking, Timberland Highlands Resort offers an array of activities for the active traveler. Whether it’s hiking through scenic trails, indulging in farm-to-table dining, or simply unwinding with panoramic views, the resort seamlessly blends adventure with relaxation.
The Future of Adventure Travel
TMBP isn’t slowing down anytime soon. With upcoming events, challenges like the KOMquest climbing challenge, and brand activations, the park is set to become an even bigger hub for outdoor enthusiasts. The promise of more trails and innovations only adds to the excitement, solidifying Timberland Highlands Resort as the ultimate destination for those who crave movement and adventure.
So if your idea of a perfect getaway includes breaking a sweat, chasing an adrenaline rush, and immersing yourself in nature, look no further. Timberland Highlands Resort is the place where fitness meets adventure—where you can push limits, embrace the outdoors, and, most importantly, share the stoke.
