If you are ever looking for a unique place for your next vacation, perhaps consider this resort located in the town of Campuestohan in the Philippines?

The original Campuestohan Highland Resort is home to an eye-catching landmark in the form of a chicken-shaped building.

At over 34 m high, 12 m wide and 28 m long, the building was awarded the title of the world’s largest chicken-shaped building by Guinness World Records.

In October, the resort announced its entry into the Guinness Book of World Records, accompanied by photos of its founder Ricardo Cano Gwapo Tan and his family posing in front of the giant building.

Ricardo told Guinness World Records that “creating the unthinkable” was the aim of the project and that he was keen to create “something that would have a wow factor”.

He added: “I feel both proud and honored. I am proud to have included my home province and country on the Guinness World Records.”

Besides its impressive size, the chicken-shaped building is actually a functional hotel with 15 rooms and typical amenities you would expect.

Atypical vacation spot

Ricardo’s wife had purchased the land on which Campuestohan Highland Resort now resides and the area was cleared in 2010, according to the Guinness World Records website.

Construction of the resort began from then on, and visitors to Campuestohan Highland Resort will be happy to know that it is not just a huge chicken-shaped building.

According to the resort’s Facebook page, the five-acre complex includes a four-lane wave pool, a 340m zipline and an aerial bike.

More adventurous visitors can enjoy activities such as horseback riding and the ropes course.

There’s even a Jurassic-inspired playground, Dino Park, if you get tired of the adrenaline activities the place has to offer.

The rooms aren’t particularly ordinary either. Visitors can choose from teepee cabins, King Kong-inspired rooms, and log cabins.

According to the resort’s website, its most expensive room is the Raphaella Windmill Presidential Suite.

This spacious room, for four people, costs 15,000 pesos (S$342) per night.
