12 Stays of Christmas:  Where to #TravelAsJuan this Holiday Season

The most wonderful time of the year is quickly approaching and with several destinations across the country welcoming Filipino travelers once again — ‘tis indeed the season to be jolly! Whether you’re simply craving a weekend away cozying up with loved ones, a classic Christmas vacation filled with family traditions or a festive yuletide getaway, you’ll surely find a home away from home on Airbnb that suits your style and travel needs. To get you started, here are 12 amazing Airbnb Stays for the holidays:

SERENE NATURE RETREATS FOR SOME MUCH-DESERVED R&R 

Imagine free-roaming animals, woodsy cottages, and hills as far as the eye can see. Doesn’t that sound like the antidote to a year spent mostly indoors?

  • If you are planning to visit Cebu, check out Alhibé Farm, a boutique mountain homestay complete with its own nipa hut and swimming pool with water from the nearby springs. It’s like finding your own fairytale treehouse in the woods!
  • Up for an authentic farm-to-table experience? This 5-hectare organic farm in Puerto Princesa offers cabins with your own hammock and a lovely gazebo, fruit and vegetable gardens, and two lovely hosts who will happily let you harvest their produce and indulge yourself in fresh shakes and salads.

  • For those looking to relieve some stress, do it in style with Ataalaya Farmhouse – a 3-bedroom elegant country house with an outdoor jacuzzi with scenic views of the Taal lake.
  • Another hidden gem in Batangas is Den Vacation House, where you can disconnect from the hustle with your loved ones. Practice yoga together, lounge around the gazebo and splash around the pool with a view of Mt. Maculot in the distance.

GLASS HOUSES WITH ENDLESS PICTURESQUE VIEWS

Glass houses are popping up across the Philippines, and are increasingly popular amongst guests for the breathtaking 360 degree views they offer.

  • Blackbird Hill in Tanay offers expansive views of Pililla Windmills, Laguna Lake, Sierra Madre and the seasonal “sea of clouds” phenomenon right outside its windows.
  • Hidden in the dense foliage of Baguio City’s pinewood forest, Tudor in the Pines is a perfect base for travellers going to the Summer capital. Guests can stroll through its private garden, enjoy a picnic and cozy up around the roaring fire pit.

  • Camper and Cabin’s mountainside cabin offers an undeniably luxurious experience for those willing to splurge. Perched on a hill, the cabin offers stunning views of the Mount Batulao sunset, as well as Balayan Bay and lush Nasugbu farmlands nearby.
  • Sitting atop Sierra Madre in the centre of Lake Caliraya, the LakeFront Resort is a secluded resthouse perfect for enjoying nature at its best. It comes with an overlooking veranda for breezy lunches and a private pier where guests can swim or use its kayaks, pedal boats and paddle boards.

LUXURIOUS STAYS THAT ARE SURE TO IMPRESS

Boasting premium amenities and spacious living areas, these splendid Airbnb homes are perfect for that much-awaited holiday get-together.

  • Casa Kalinaw is a five-bedroom villa in Batangas with cosy wood accents and an infinity pool. Guests can spend long afternoons enjoying the fresh air and lapping ocean waves.
  • Tucked away in the quiet town of Lucban, Casa Esperanza offers a scenic ‘probinsiya’ look with thoughtfully designed interiors. It comes complete with its own pool and greenhouse for a classy yet homely resort feel.

  • Looking for a staycation in the city? This classic 80s home is located just 5 minutes away from Banawe, Quezon City. It has four bedrooms, a spacious living room, a fully furnished kitchen and a library brimming with good reads.
  • Finally, if you’re planning to spend time in the beautiful mountain town of Busay, Villa Busay might be your perfect pick.
