Five days, five districts, five defining beauty experiences. The ultimate Manila beauty tourism itinerary for visitors and locals who want to explore the full city.
Manila's beauty landscape is too rich to experience from a single district. This five-day itinerary is designed for visitors who want to understand the full range of what the city offers — from BGC's Korean-influenced precision aesthetics to Rockwell's organic nail rituals to Tagaytay's volcano-view hilot. One treatment per day, one district per day, one defining experience each time.
Day 1 — BGC: The Aivee Institute Consultation + Chi Spa
Start in BGC with a Facial Harmony Consultation at The Aivee Institute (₱5,000, 45 minutes) — even if you're not planning a treatment, this consultation reframes what's possible. Afternoon: Himalayan Hot Stone Journey at Chi, The Spa at Shangri-La (₱9,500, 120 minutes). Dinner at any of BGC's High Street restaurants.
Day 2 — Makati: The Peninsula Spa + Jorge Syjuco
Morning: Peninsula Heritage Hilot at The Spa at The Peninsula Manila (₱8,500, 90 minutes) — the most culturally authentic luxury spa experience in Manila. Afternoon: Bespoke Cut at Jorge Syjuco Salon (₱5,500, 75 minutes) — four decades of Makati hair history in a single appointment.
Day 3 — Rockwell: The Nail Sanctuary + The Skin Institute
Morning: Comprehensive Skin Consultation at The Skin Institute (₱4,000, 45 minutes) — the most thorough skin assessment available in Manila. Afternoon: Pedicure Throne Experience at The Nail Sanctuary (₱3,200, 90 minutes) — Manila's finest nail ritual.
Day 4 — Ortigas: Serene Massage + Lash Republic
Morning: The Full Reset at Serene Massage and Wellness (₱9,800, 180 minutes) — the most therapeutic body treatment in Manila. Afternoon: Korean Mega Volume Lash Set at Lash Republic (₱4,800, 150 minutes).
Day 5 — Tagaytay: Nurture Spa Village
The day trip finale. Hilot Day Retreat at Nurture Spa Village (₱4,500, full day). The 45-minute drive from Alabang, the volcano views, the cool air, and the most authentically Filipino spa experience available — this is the day that makes the whole itinerary make sense.
