These Charming Alabang Hotels Will Convince You to Book a Staycation

Oh, Alabang. For people who hail from northern cities like Pasig and Quezon City, one may conjure images of its tolled gateway, its famed mall (which non-South people call Alabang Town Center instead of the more colloquial ‘Town’), and affluent yet effortlessly low-key individuals who have that certain je ne sais quoi. While understandably deduced as “too far” a destination for quick staycations—access is paved way via a toll fee, after all—there’s more to Alabang than its seemingly distant locale, wealthy neighborhoods, and elusive character.

Some may beg to differ, but Alabang is arguably a prime spot for that perfect leisurely break. With its fresh air, relaxed vibe, and seclusion from Manila’s bustle, what’s not to love? People in the South seem to be living in their own world, which is precisely why it pays to book a staycation—especially to those in need of headspace from the more populous capital. Though relatively nearer compared to longer drives to Tagaytay or Zambales, the destination will offer you a peaceful retreat that can be just as satisfying as an out-of-town road trip. Plus, if you feel like heading out of your hotel, there are several famed restaurants, winding bike trails, and leisurely activities that could fit the bill of a fun vacation.

Here are amazing Alabang staycation spots that would urge you to drive down South—after all, we must never overlook the good that just happens to be right under our noses.
