When the hustle becomes a hassle in the lively but chaotic Metro Manila, The Peninsula Concierge team know just the spots to direct you for a quick out of town getaway. 

Burrow Cafe
An underground café in Antipolo, Rizal. Built by artisan builder Vitty Gutierrez while our kitchen is led by Chef Danilo Puga II, Burrow Café aims to bring people closer to nature through its natural ambiance and delicious, seasonal menu. Among popular dishes is their Black Rice Suman à la Mode and Bitoy’s Lechon with Gising-Gising, along with a small but growing selection of vegan choices. Burrow Café is located within Beverly Hills Subdivision, 95 steps down from the gate with a separate entrance that goes underground. Below is a lush space with large panel windows that open up to the surrounding greenery. Just 15 minutes from Pinto Art Gallery, and 60 minutes from Masungi Georeserve, Burrow Café is a must when visiting Antipolo. Reservations are recommended.

Gabriel's Sanctuary
Experience camping in the sky only an hour away from the Metro with 180 degrees Sierra Madre and sea of clouds view. Disconnect from your city life and connect with your friends and family through an off-grid camping that will help you reconnect with your soul and immerse yourself in a unique outdoor retreat that will enable you to experience “provincial life” that all ages can enjoy!

Masungi Georeserve
The Masungi Georeserve is an award-winning conservation project that is home to 60-million-year-old karst or limestone formations and unique biodiversity. Masungi’s Discovery Trail offers trail experiences for beginners with its low-impact rope courses, such as the iconic sapot (web). A rewarding day trip from Manila, hikers can immerse themselves in the conservation and restoration work of park rangers who have been protecting the georeserve for over 15 years from illegal loggers, quarries, and others.

QiWellness Living
Perched on the ridge of Tagaytay overlooking Taal lake, a mere 60-kilometer drive south of Metro Manila is Qiwellness Living. Inspired by centuries-old architecture, cuisine, and healing practices of China, and combined with modern design, culinary techniques, and advances in wellness, Qiwellness Living reflects the sublime synergy of the old and the new, and presents a distinctive ambient, dining, and spa experience.
