Go on a Much-Needed Retreat This Holy Week at These Serene Airbnbs
Find another home away from home this lenten season.
by Ina Louise Manto | February 22, 2023
After spending the Lenten season indoors for two years and doing Visita Iglesia virtually, Pinoys can continue old Holy Week traditions again, now that we’ve adjusted to the new normal. If your family enjoys going on staycations as a way of reflecting and recharging, here are some serene Airbnbs to book for the upcoming Holy Week:
A scenic cliff house in Nasugbu
Don’t want to drive too far from the metro? Batangas is home to plenty of beach resorts and hotels, but if you’re looking for an exclusive stay where you’ll be away from the crowd, The Cliffhouse will be right up your alley. This newly-constructed home makes the most out of open spaces and indoor-outdoor living. Both floors of the house are open to a panoramic view of Nasugbu’s coastline and surrounding greenery. You’ll also have an infinity pool within a few steps from the house and access to a private beach.
Rates start at P22,000 per night. Book here.
Feel Old Baguio at this romantic cottage
Baguio is a no-brainer if you want to spend your Holy Week somewhere cool. After all, driving to the northern city is shorter and more comfortable these days. This romantic cottage is a simple home away from home and would remind you of the feeling you get when you rediscover piles of old film photos of your parents or family in their younger years. One of its best features is the spacious backyard and patio where you can have picnics, run around with your pet, or share a filling meal with your family.
Rates start at P1,898 per night. Book here.
Live out your K-drama dreams at this urban roof deck
While staying in the city is not the ideal holiday we look forward to, there are still spots worth considering especially when it’s as picturesque as Maria’s Deck. If you’re not able to head to the province to spend Holy Week with your family, gather your besties in the metro and feel like you’re in a K-drama with this urban glamping experience. With dreamy lights hung across the deck, you’ll get to sleep in an air-conditioned tent and have the city skyline as your background. Bring out the soju and K-bbq!
Rates start at P5,305 per night. Book here.
Own an island for a night in Laguna

Wake up next to the sea in Marinduque
