Manami Resort, the first and only luxury nature resort in Sipalay City, Negros Occidental, proudly marks its second anniversary, celebrating a year of exceptional achievements and exciting new developments. As a sanctuary where luxury meets nature, Manami Resort continues to elevate its offerings, cementing its place as a premier destination for discerning travelers.

To mark this special occasion, Manami presents Celebrate in Serenity: Anniversary Escape — an exclusive offer where guests enjoy 50 percent off their second night. The package includes daily breakfast for two at Lingaw Restaurant, 15 percent off massage services at Linong Spa, and complimentary spelunking in the resort’s private cave, among other thoughtful perks.

April also marks the introduction of two additional two-bedroom Ocean View Villas. True to their name, these villas offer breathtaking panoramas and Manami’s signature luxury — set against a lush, natural backdrop.

“At Manami, every stay is more than just a getaway — it’s an invitation to embrace nature, culture and meaningful experiences,” says Giro Solatorio, property head. “As we celebrate our 2nd anniversary, we are excited to unveil new offerings that will make each guest’s journey even more memorable.”

Another exciting introduction in the pipeline is the grand opening of the Balas Dive and Experience Center on 21 April where avid divers can explore the pristine marine biodiversity of Sipalay’s waters. Two-Bedroom Oceanview Villa.

“We also act as stewards of a nearby eight-year-old mangrove area, recognizing its crucial role in coastal protection and biodiversity,” Solatorio shares. “We have an in-house marine biologist dedicated to studying and preserving the rich marine ecosystem of Sipalay. Manami’s long-term goal is to establish itself as a leader in regenerative tourism.”

With accreditation from Technical Diving International — Scuba Diving International (TDISDI), certified divers can enjoy fun dives, with more advanced activities to be offered later this year. All gears for this are available for rent at the resort.

Manami Resort’s first year of operation is already paved with awards, winning the World Luxury Hotel Awards 2024, World Luxury Spa Awards 2024, and World Luxury Restaurant Awards 2024.
