Savea Bay City Manila is making its debut in the Bay City area through The Art of Wellness, a campaign that introduces the hotel through three experiences centered on relaxation, movement, and dining: Savea Soothes, Save Moves, and Savea Savors.
The newest hotel in the Macapagal area, Savea is positioning wellness as an integral part of the guest experience. Its location also puts guests within easy reach of growing wellness community across Aseana City and the wider Bay City area.
Located along Belle Avenue corner Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard, Savea is a five-minute walk from Ayala Malls Manila Bay and about nine minutes by car from Ninoy Aquino International Airport. The hotel is also within the easy reach of Parqal, City of Dreams Manila, SM Mall of Asia, and other destinations across Bay City.
“Wellness does not have to be complicated. It can be as simple as taking time to rest, staying active, or enjoying a good meal,” said Gel B. Gomez, General Manager of Savea Bay City Manila. “With The Art of Wellness, we wanted to introduce Savea through experiences that reflect how we want our guests to experience the hotel and the destination around us.”
Savea Soothes: Traditional healing at the heart of the stay
Savea Soothes brings traditional Filipino healing into the guest experience through Savea’s partnership with Hilomnan.
Rooted in the Filipino concept of hilom or healing, Hilomnan brings the tradition of hilot into a contemporary setting. Hilot is a Filipino practice that has been passed down through generations, with practitioners traditionally using touch and massage as part of the practice.
At Savea, guests can choose from three Hilomnan experiences: Hilot Aruga, Hilot Bighis, and Hilot Yugto. Each offers a different approach to relaxation, giving guests an opportunity to incorporate a distinctly Filipino wellness practice into their stay.
The partnership reflects Savea’s approach to wellness through experiences that are connected to Filipino culture. It also gives guests another way to pause and recharge without having to leave the hotel.
Savea Moves: Making movement part of the stay
Savea Moves brings movement into the stay through complimentary Pilates classes, giving guests an opportunity to join a guided session as part of their time at the hotel. A 25-meter lap pool and fitness center offer additional options for staying active, from a morning swim to a workout between meetings.
Savea Savors: Discovering Filipino flavors
Savea Savors brings food and dining into the overall guest experience through The Bay Table by Casa Brasa, the signature restaurant of Savea Bay City Manila.
The restaurant explores the diversity of Philippine cuisine through familiar favorites and regional specialties. Corporate Executive Chef Kennedy Alfonso, whose culinary portfolio also includes Tartufo and Bueno Tapas + Wine, brings his experience across different cuisines and dining concepts to dishes that highlight the country’s ingredients, traditions, and culinary heritage.
Among the dishes that best express this is Sabo Tadyang sa Kamias at Kamatis, a Kapampangan specialty featuring tender beef ribs, kamias, and tomatoes. Prepared using The Bay Table’s signature live-fire technique, the dish highlights the natural flavors of its ingredients while adding depth through charcoal and flame.
Wellness beyond the stay
Savea’s wellness approach extends beyond the property through its location, where a growing wellness community is supported by walkable spaces, open-air areas, fitness establishments, sports facilities, and regular community activities.
The surrounding Aseana City area adds another dimension to the wellness experience, with opportunities for fitness, Pilates, tennis, pickleball, and other recreational activities. Its open-air spaces, shaded promenades, public plazas, restaurants, cafes, and retail destinations also give guests room to move, explore, or simply take a breath between activities.
This creates a wider wellness experience around Savea. Guests can start the day with a workout, spend time exploring the area, return to the hotel for a swim or treatment, and end the day over a meal at The Bay Table by Casa Brasa.
The Art of Wellness reflects Savea Bay City Manila’s broader approach to hospitality. As an upscale serviced residence in Bay City, Savea combines the comforts of home with hotel services, technology-enabled convenience, and Filipino warmth.
Savea is a serviced residence brand of Anchor Land Holdings Inc., operated by its hospitality arm, Admiral Hospitality Management Inc. (AHMI). Savea brings Anchor Land’s experience in developing lifestyle-driven destination into the hospitality space.
“Wellness can look different for everyone. Our role is to provide the spaces and experiences that allow our guests to make the most of their time at Savea,” Gomez added.
