15 Airbnb Stays in the Philippines Perfect for a Halloween Retreat

With Halloween falling just before Undas, when Filipinos traditionally take time to remember and honor their loved ones on November 1 and 2, the days around the occasion also offer a natural opportunity to spend time with family and friends, and, for many, to travel. And with October 31 landing on a Saturday this year, Airbnb sees travelers are making the most of the period in different ways, from island escapes and coastal stays to city getaways closer to home.

Airbnb data reflects just how varied these travel plans can be. Balabag (Boracay, Aklan), Barangay 76 (Pasay City, Metro Manila), and the City of Lapu-Lapu (Cebu) each recorded year-over-year growth in searches for Halloween weekend, showing that travelers are looking beyond a single type of getaway.* This means this long weekend can look different for each Filipino traveler: a chance to get away with friends, spend time somewhere quieter, or simply take a break without going too far from home.

Across the country, Airbnb stays offer plenty of ways to make the most of the long weekend, whether that means waking up surrounded by trees, spending the day by the water or choosing a stay with a little extra character. Here are a few stays that bring these different getaway moods to life:

For those looking to get away from the usual Halloween crowds, think cozy hideaways surrounded by trees and greenery, secluded retreats and quiet corners of the probinsya where the atmosphere gets a little eerier after dark. Spend the day slowing down and exploring the surroundings, then settle in for spooky stories, rustling leaves and the occasional “Ano ‘yun?” when night falls.
