WITH MERAKI TRAVEL COLLECTION / PRIVATE HOSTING
You know who's coming
We know where to take them
The friend who insists they've seen Manila. The relative who notices every detail. The colleague with an appetite for a good story. An evening in the city, time on Taal Lake or a longer journey through Negros. Tell us who's coming and what draws them. We'll choose from the collection with their tastes in mind.
For visiting family, friends and colleagues. Private arrangements by request.
A FEW GOOD PLACES TO START
A good time is a matter of taste
Some guests want wind on Taal Lake. Others come alive around art, Manila's backstreets or the food and working landscapes of Negros. The collection gives us range. Knowing your guests tells us where to begin.
THE LAKE
Under Sail
A little wind tends to improve the mood. See Taal Lake from a sailing vessel with a qualified operator at the helm. No previous sailing experience needed.
