Holiday rentals in Manila, the Philippines

Manila is a popular choice for group holidaymakers due to its economical pricing, climate and abundance of night life. Makati is buzzing with party-goers who enjoy the spectacle of the strip clubs and party bars in the neighbourhood. Book Manila holiday rentals at The Beacon Makati Staycation Suites, which puts you at the heart of the district and offers a swimming pool for guests. Dance the night away at Royal in Luna Street, an English/French styled party nightclub, which is set in the throbbing heart of Makati. Just around the corner is the penthouse jazz and lounge bar Top of the Alpha. The bar boasts 360-degree city views and has live music, cocktails and great food sharing choices including sliders. If you fancy belting out your rendition of “My Way”, head to Malate where you’ll be spoilt for choice in karaoke and party bars. Take an organised pub crawl or just follow your ears through the Malate streets. Visit the FAB gay karaoke bar for a night blasting out international, Indian and Asian tunes to a fun audience. Follow on to the huge Exklusiv Nightclub where you can dance the night away to resident DJs and guest rappers.

Kids love visiting Manila where there’s a great choice of family entertainment including the quirky ‘Upside Down Museum’ in Luzon. Once you’ve finished enjoying the creativity of the exhibits and fancy returning to right-side-up, head to the Star City Amusement Park. Just around the corner you’ll find the unforgettable ‘Singing Cooks and Waiters’ restaurant. Definitely worth a visit for the memory bank but the food is also recommended! If amusement parks are a family favourite, you’ll enjoy the fun at Pasay’s Mall of Asia Bay, which is situated on Seaside Boulevard. Self-catering holiday rentals in Manila in the Pasay area include Sea Residences Jeremiah2911, which is conveniently situated close to the Mall. The amusement park offers a host of attractions including sit-on rides and a huge Ferris wheel from which you can see right across the bay. Curious young minds will enjoy the interesting and quirky exhibits at the Pasay Exploreum science museum, which includes short movie shows.

To fully immerse yourself in the Manila culture, consider booking a self-catering holiday rental rather than a hotel. You’ll enjoy visiting the local markets and supermarkets to explore the incredible range of fresh and preserved foods that the locals eat. Visit the Quinta market, which has Spanish colonial roots and offers a dine-in food court along with many shops and stalls. The Sentinal Residences Suite is a great option for a self-catering party. It’s located close to the Smart Araneta Coliseum hotel, which offers Sentinal guests the use of the outdoor swimming pool and gym. The Bee Tin grocery store is an Asian chef’s delight. The store is packed full of Asian goodies to try out in the comfort of your self-catering rental. It is advisable to take cash into the markets and supermarkets in Manila, rather than the use of plastic, which many sellers won’t accept. If you’re a little nervous about cooking Asian food, search for a local cookery school who will take you to the market before demonstrating how to cook your purchases.
