About this place
La Veranda Highland: A Baguio-Cool Escape in Sihi
If you’ve ever wished Marinduque had a cooler, quieter corner for a weekend away, La Veranda Highland is about as close as the island gets. Nestled in Purok Dos, Barangay Sihi, Buenavista, this charming highland home is known for a climate that locals compare to Baguio or Tagaytay — one of those rare pockets of the province where the breeze stays cool and the pace stays slow.
The House and Its Views
The home centers on a wide veranda and a landscaped garden — the kind of setup where morning coffee naturally stretches into an hour of doing nothing in particular. Guests describe the ambiance as refreshing and genuinely restorative. Between the porch, the garden, and the quiet community surrounding the property, there’s very little to pull you back toward a screen.
Getting Out and About
La Veranda Highland makes a good base camp for Buenavista’s outdoor loop. You’re within reach of the Mount Malindig trailhead in Sihi, the Malbog hot springs, and the Buenavista View Deck — enough to fill a weekend without doubling back on the same roads. Strolls through the garden and the nearby community are part of the daily rhythm here.

When to Come
The highland setting means La Veranda is at its best in the cool months of late and early year, but the elevation keeps the air comfortable even in the hotter stretches. For a family reunion, a quiet couple’s weekend, or a solo recharge after a week of island-hopping, it’s one of the more characterful stays in Buenavista.
Best Time to Visit
Dry season (November–May) for clear views. Year-round for the stay, but cooler months are the sweet spot. Weekdays quieter; weekends bring couples and small groups looking for a cool-air retreat.
What to Bring
How to Get Here
La Veranda Highland is in Buenavista's elevated inland portion. From Buenavista Centro, hire a tricycle and tell the driver "La Veranda" — they know it. From Balanacan Port, plan as a half-day trip. The access road has elevation; confirm pickup if you have heavy luggage.
Local routes, fares, and ferry schedules can shift without notice — and travel times depend on weather, traffic, and tide. Confirm fares and timing with the driver or locals before you set out.
