The Nautilus at CaSoBe – Calatagan South Beach: The Voyage Begins for Luxurious Resort Living at Landco Pacific Corporation’s Iconic Beachfront Condotel

An architectural landmark that features hotel amenities, rental income opportunities, and access to CaSoBe’s hospitality and leisure attractions

The Nautilus, Landco Pacific Corporation’s newly-launched 10-storey condotel at the 15-hectare Landco BeachTowns, CaSoBe, draws its inspiration from the famous submarine, Nautilus, featured in Jules Verne’s classic novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Commanding, like a ship on the shore, the iconic structure of The Nautilus carves the beach skyline as a homage to the legendary Nautilus, captained by the enigmatic Captain Nemo, known for its advanced technology, mysterious allure, and exploration of the unknown depths of the ocean.

“This is more than a home – it’s a sanctuary where infinite possibilities are anchored in every sunrise, every sunset, and every wave that laps the shore,” said Erickson Manzano President & CEO, Landco Pacific Corporation.

Living in this beachfront condotel offers a vibrant lifestyle. Mornings can start with yoga or a cup of favorite brew on the private balcony, where sea views inspire mindfulness. Community ties strengthen through beach potlucks and events, fostering belonging. Residents engage in activities like jogging, beach volleyball, and water sports, while creativity thrives in the lively atmosphere. Outdoor spaces are also perfect for unwinding and relishing the stunning sunsets at CaSoBe. 

The Nautilus is master-planned by an award-winning international team of designers and thought leaders of sustainable built environments.  Its architecture was designed by Pomeroy Studio in Singapore and Visionarch, ranked 57th in the World Architecture 100 in 2024. Its target turnover is in January 2029. 

The mixed-use beachfront condotel offers 171 residential units and 5 commercial units in a 4,614.5 sqm land area.
