Unique Airbnb Stays in the Philippines Worth Booking Now

Let’s be real. When we plan trips, the beach usually comes to mind first. Whether it's Boracay, La Union or Siargao, we often head straight for the sand. But if you’ve already ticked those off your list or you’re just after something new for your next escape, these Airbnb stays might just surprise you.

Airbnb options across the Philippines have quietly levelled up. Think dreamy treehouses in the mountains, sleek city flats that feel like mini condos, and eco retreats perfect for slowing down. These spots might not be the first things that come up in your searches, but they definitely should be.

Pang-IG, pang-reels, pang-refresh

These are the kind of stays that become part of your travel experience, not just a place to sleep. Imagine relaxing inside a retro Airstream trailer in Batangas, with views that make it feel like you are on an international trip, even though you're still in the Philippines.
