Hearts and lanterns: a February celebration at Newport World Resorts

CRU Steakhouse at Manila Marriott Hotel at Newport World Resorts

Valentine’s Day and Lunar New Year fall within the same seven days this February. Newport World Resorts responds by layering experiences across both occasions, allowing guests to navigate romance, cultural tradition, and shared celebration within a single destination.

Where it begins

Conveniently located across NAIA Terminal 3, Newport World Resorts offers stays across five international hotel brands. Guests choose based on preference: Hotel Okura Manila at Newport World Resorts for Japanese-inspired luxury, Manila Marriott Hotel at Newport World Resorts for full-service hospitality, Hilton Manila Newport World Resorts for family-friendly comfort, Sheraton Manila Hotel at Newport World Resorts for contemporary social spaces, or Holiday Inn Express Manila Newport World Resorts for streamlined convenience. The range allows couples celebrating romance, families marking Lunar New Year, and solo travelers to anchor their visit according to their own priorities.

Over 70 dining outlets, performance venues, and retail spaces create the framework where both holidays unfold. Newport Mall signals the celebrations early. Lanterns mark pathways. Lion dances move through public areas with drumbeat accompaniment. Between February 14 and March 3, Harmony of Lights transforms The Plaza into synchronized sound and light.
