When it comes to luxury travel in Southeast Asia, few destinations strike the perfect balance between accessibility, indulgence, and world-class service. Solaire Resort Entertainment City, Manila’s first integrated resort, has mastered this formula. Just a short flight from Kuala Lumpur, the five-star property has one of Southeast Asia’s most glamorous escapes, celebrating its eighth consecutive Forbes Travel Guide 5-Star Excellence Award.
But what truly sets Solaire apart is not only its accolades, but the freedom it offers guests to curate their stay. Solaire isn’t a one-size-fits-all resort—it’s a canvas for indulgence, tailored to every mood and every traveller.
Solaire Resort is the Premier Luxury Resort in Manila
Located on an 8.3-hectare site in Manila’s Entertainment City, Solaire is an entire lifestyle destination. From the moment you enter its grand lobby, there’s a sense of both spectacle and intimacy: soaring ceilings balanced by warm Filipino hospitality.
It was the first integrated luxury resort to open in the Philippines, setting new benchmarks for design, entertainment, and service. Beyond its grandeur, Solaire’s true appeal lies in the details: personalized service, expansive spaces, and an atmosphere that makes every guest feel both pampered and at home.
A Quick Getaway from Malaysia to Manila
Part of Solaire’s charm lies in its accessibility. Direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Manila make it an easy choice for a spontaneous long weekend or a year-end celebration. Within hours, you can be sipping cocktails by the pool, gazing at the Manila Bay sunset, or slipping into a private jacuzzi in your suite. This ease of access makes Solaire particularly attractive to Malaysians seeking quick escapes that don’t compromise on indulgence.
Stay in Style with Sweeping Manila Bay Views
Sky Studio King
At the heart of the resort are the Bay and Sky Towers, offering 800 rooms, suites, and villas. The Sky Tower is particularly coveted, with suites ranging from 65 to 395 square meters. Inside, every detail speaks of refinement: plush interiors, panoramic bay views, spacious living areas, and indulgent touches like cabanas and jacuzzis.
It’s not just accommodation; it’s a retreat. The kind of sanctuaries where mornings begin with sunrise over Manila Bay and evenings end in unhurried elegance and breathtaking views.
Play, Dine, Indulge—Your Way

True luxury lies in choice. Whether you’re the kind of traveller who wants to indulge in culinary adventures, shopping for designer fashion at The Shoppes, unwind at the spa, or book front-row seats to a world-class concert, the resort is designed to give you choices. This personalization makes Solaire unique in the Philippines luxury resort scene, appealing to everyone from the gourmet traveler to the wellness seeker.
A Culinary Journey: 19 Restaurants and Bars at Solaire
For Malaysians, food is often the heart of travel—and Solaire delivers. At Yakumi, the artistry of Japanese cuisine comes alive in the freshest sashimi and sushi. Finestra takes Italian dining to new heights, while Red Lantern celebrates Chinese flavors with modern sophistication. With 19 restaurants and bars across the property, dining at Solaire is not a side activity—it’s a journey of its own.
The Shoppes at Solaire: Where Luxury and Lifestyle Meet
Luxury isn’t complete without the thrill of shopping at The Shoppes. The retail boulevard features some of the world’s most iconic brands, including Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Celine, Dior, and Omega. For Malaysians who enjoy luxury shopping in Manila, Solaire elevates retail into a glamorous lifestyle experience.
Entertainment Redefined: Theatre, Concerts, and the Grand Ballroom
Solaire has also cemented its reputation as Manila’s entertainment hub. Its state-of-the-art lyric theatre, with 1,740 seats, regularly hosts world-class productions and concerts. Think Wicked, Hamilton, Miss Saigon, Les Misérables, Phantom of the Opera, and more.
Adding to this is the pillarless Grand Ballroom, the largest in Metro Manila, which has become a venue of choice for high-profile galas, weddings, and international events.
Relax and Rejuvenate
In an age where wellness matters as much as indulgence, Solaire excels at both. Picture an evening spent drifting between the 72-meter outdoor pool, private cabanas, and the spa’s rejuvenating therapies.
But Solaire understands that wellness isn’t only about rest. It’s also about energy and connection. At the Solaire Sports Club, guests have access to modern courts and facilities for pickleball, padel, and even golf. Whether you’re working on your swing or just enjoying friendly competition, it’s a refreshing way to stay active while still wrapped in five-star comfort.
For some, that is the very definition of a holiday. For others, it’s the perfect balance to the energy of shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Exploring the Philippines with Solaire as Your Base
While Solaire itself is a complete destination, its location in Entertainment City Manila makes it the perfect base for exploration. Guests can venture into the historic Intramuros, discover Manila’s vibrant culinary scene, or plan day trips to cultural and natural attractions nearby. It’s a seamless combination of luxury resort living and cultural discovery.
Why Solaire is the escape Malaysians need now
Luxury doesn’t always have to be far-flung. Sometimes, it’s closer than you think—just a quick flight away. Solaire Resort Entertainment City offers Malaysians the rare gift of choice: the freedom to unwind, to indulge, to explore, and to celebrate life’s best moments.
With its award-winning service, personalised experiences, and unmatched accessibility, Solaire has become the ultimate short-haul luxury escape for Malaysians. At Solaire, every stay is personal, every memory is tailored, and every journey is yours to create.
