The Michelin Guide has recognized outstanding hotels for 2025 that travelers can visit around the Philippines, highlighting the country’s breathtaking views and the Filipino talent for architecture and design.
Here are five OneKey Michelin hotels in the Pearl of the Orient that travelers will surely love to experience:

1. Amanpulo, the secluded paradise. Located on the private Pamalican Island in Palawan, Amanpulo is more than just a hotel, it is a complete collection of tropical experiences that offers luxury in harmony with nature. Set against a deep blue ocean are the resort’s 42 casitas and 18 villas, inspired by traditional bahay kubo architecture.
Here, guests can unveil their inner Moana, exploring the island like a real Disney princess—far from the busy, fastpaced life of the city.

2. Dusit Thani Mactan Cebu Resort, the heroic venture. Standing on the Punta Engaño Peninsula, where the historic Battle of Mactan between the forces of Filipino chieftain LapuLapu and Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan is believed to have taken place — the area continues to make history.
As described by Michelin, the resort “brings the signature warmth of Thai hospitality to the Philippines,” showcased through bright and spacious rooms with balconies that capture cinematic sunset views.
3. Fairmont Makati, the modern grandeur. Situated at the heart of the Makati Central Business District, Fairmont Makati offers a taste of contemporary elegance, where the beauty of the cityscape can be admired right from the room windows.
Its palmfringed pool recreates an islandlike escape, without the need for a plane ticket.
