Our favourite places to stay on this sleepy Cebu island.
Amid the frenzy of Christmas parties, gift shopping, and family reunions, have you even had the time to plan for a vacation? To help inspire your next domestic trip, Airbnb has pulled together a dozen amazing vacation rentals in the Philippines, all of which are part of their special holiday promo: 12 Stays of Christmas.
For a limited time this December, these Airbnb homes in the Philippines will be available for only ₱1,222 each. Each of these incredible stays will be available to book for an exclusive one-night stay over two weekends: 10–11 Dec or 17–18 Dec. Fastest fingers first — so, make sure you hit the reserve button quickly.
“More than the colourful light displays and the exchanging of gifts, Christmas represents an opportunity for Filipinos to celebrate what really matters most — their loved ones,” shares Amanpreet Bajaj, Airbnb’s General Manager for Southeast Asia, India, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. “We hope that this special offer will encourage Filipinos to create precious memories with family and friends, while celebrating our Host community and the diversity of stays and destinations that the Philippines offer.”
Whether you’re setting off on your own or vacationing with loved ones, there’s an Airbnb for everyone — especially during the Christmas season.
