5 One Key Hotels
These properties have earned One Key in the Philippines, setting the standard for excellence in Filipino hospitality.
Set on the private island of Pamalican, Amanpulo is the epitome of island seclusion and understated luxury.
Accessible only by charter flight from Manila, the resort’s 42 casitas and 18 villas draw inspiration from traditional bahay kubo architecture: thatched roofs, natural textures and a deep respect for place. Guests can explore vibrant coral reefs, cycle along sandy paths or simply unwind in peaceful solitude. At Amanpulo, every moment captures the quiet beauty of the Philippines.
Just a short drive from Mactan-Cebu Airport, Dusit Thani Mactan Cebu Resort sits at the tip of the Punta Engaño peninsula, where sky and sea meet in sweeping blue horizons.
This coastal escape brings the signature warmth of Thai hospitality to the Philippines, blending it effortlessly with the island’s own easy charm. Rooms are bright and spacious, many with balconies that frame golden sunsets, while the Namm Spa offers the tranquil indulgence expected of a world-class Thai retreat. With its show-stopping infinity pool, stylish Thai restaurant and breezy beachside bar, the resort captures the best of island luxury: relaxed, sunlit and distinctly Filipino in spirit.
In the heart of Makati’s financial district, Fairmont Makati rises as a modern sanctuary of comfort and polish. Its spacious rooms and suites pair understated elegance with sweeping city views, while marble bathrooms and Le Labo amenities add refined touches.
Guests can unwind by the palm-fringed pool, recharge at the Fairmont Spa or dine across the hotel’s stylish restaurants and bars. The best part: Fairmont guests enjoy shared privileges with neighboring Raffles Makati, including access to its storied Long Bar and the elegant Writers Bar — a timeless setting for afternoon tea or evening cocktails.
Tucked along the southern coast of Siargao, Nay Palad Hideaway captures the island’s barefoot spirit and easy grace.
Often called the surfing capital of the Philippines, Siargao offers more than world-class waves; it’s a paradise of coral reefs, mangrove forests and white sand shores. Here, that beauty meets design and intention: airy villas built with local materials, gardens blooming with orchids and spaces that invite you to slow down. Guests can unwind in a sunken lounge draped in white linen, sip rum cocktails by the sea or sway in a hanging pod beneath the palms.
Whether surfing the famed Cloud 9 break or simply basking in stillness, Nay Palad Hideaway turns simplicity into quiet luxury; a true reflection of island living at its most soulful.
An intimate counterpart to its neighboring Fairmont Makati, Raffles Makati offers a refined sanctuary in the heart of the city. Each suite exudes quiet sophistication, with dark wood floors, marble bathrooms, original artwork and the signature touch of private butler service.
Guests enjoy full access to Fairmont’s expansive amenities — from its spa and fitness center to the sunlit pool — yet Raffles retains a world of its own. Here, afternoons unfold over tea and evenings over cocktails at the storied Writers Bar, a tribute to literary greats who once graced the halls of Raffles Hotel, Singapore.
Elegant, personal, and steeped in heritage, Raffles Makati embodies timeless urban luxury.
