Are you still having that Holiday hangover and would still want to keep looking for activities to do and places to visit to kick off your 2026? Look no further because your next destination to jumpstart your new year is right here at the heart of Manila.

1. Extended staycation

The past holidays can both be fun and stressful. For some, the weeks after the festivities are the best time to relax and unwind, and an ideal way to do this is to spend the few days (or weeks) lounging in a cozy space with complete amenities while you reflect on your past year and plan ahead for the current year. Sometimes, the comfort of your own bedroom is enough, but sometimes, it’s refreshing to splurge a little and book a room at your favorite hotel. Fortunately, Winford Resort & Casino Manila offers a New Year, New Luck promo for only Php6,000* net per night! Inclusive on your overnight stay in Deluxe Room are buffet breakfast for two, use of complimentary amenities like the outdoor heated pool, fitness center, and parking, plus a play value worth Php1,000 and a Win-Win plushie. You can’t go wrong with a good deal to start the new year, right? You can book this promo until January 31, 2026!

2. Discover coffee spot in town

The new year calls for new discoveries, and that includes exploring new places to satisfy your daily coffee fix. If you’re tired of going to the same coffee shops over and over again, why not try a cozier coffee spot to hang out with friends, families, work colleagues, or even by yourself? Winford Manila may just have the answer to your coffee spot craving! At the 2nd level of this integrated resort is the Winford Café, a nice, casual dining place where you can low key take a break, enjoy coffee, or have a light meal whether you’re checked-in at the hotel or just stopping by. You cannot visit this café without trying their best seller pastries – the Ham & Cheese Croissant, Pecan brownie, Hazelnut brownie, and Cheese Rolls. Best to pair these with their signature coffee, the Iced Spanish Bonbon.

3. Chill at Zabana Bar

Looking for a night cap or weekend hangout place that’s not too crowded and gives fresh, cozy alfresco air? Look no further and head over at Zabana Bar located at the 11th floor of Winford Manila. Make it your intimate escape as you slow down with your friends, share stories, and discover your next favorite cocktail. If you’re up to something bold and classic, their Stallion Brew is the perfect drink for you.

4. Relish the Filipino artistry

If you are in search for something rich in arts and culture but have already been at major museums and art shows in the Metro, now’s the time to discover new art works at the Flourish in Full Bloom art exhibit of the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts Alumni Association, Inc. located at the 2nd level of Winford Manila. Flourish in Full Bloom is a vibrant and expressive art exhibition celebrating life, color, and creative energy through the works of emerging Filipino artists. Beyond its artistic appeal, this art exhibit also supports a meaningful cause, with its proceeds contributing to Hapag-Sining, a nutritional subsidy program for financially-challenged students of UP College of Fine Arts. Viewing is up until January 31, 2026.
