Belmont Hotel

 A new Boracay experience

By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

Belmont Hotel Boracay is currently celebrating its fourth year anniversary. Drumbeating this milestone is a wellness campaign simply dubbed #MindfulEscapes. This wholistic approach to wellness runs until March of 2024. At the heart of this campaign are sampaguita-infused concoctions curated by sous chef Paul Aligaen; offering a variety of healthy yet tasteful options culled from fresh catch and farm produce.

"This campaign allows our guests to escape to Boracay Newcoast, where they'll also find our sister properties Savoy and, soon, Chancellor therein. This township community with a beautiful beachfront has a room inventory of 1500, thus far. Newcoast complements what the island has to offer. Here, guests simply escape from the pressures of daily city life. And soon, our convention center will be the hub of corporate activities," intoned Nico Velasquez, Megaworld hotel & resort's group director for public relations.

Belmont Hotel Boracay is a four-star homegrown hotel brand that embodies premium comfort, contemporary amenities, and remarkable service rooted in genuine Filipino hospitality. Located in the paradisiacal island of Boracay, the hotel consists of three distinct mid-rise building clusters - the Ridge, Island, and Shore. Boasting a total of 442 rooms averaging 27-square meters in size, excluding the porch area, it offers a harmonious blend of space, style, and tranquility to ensure an unforgettable stay.

Situated on the northeastern side of Boracay Island, Belmont Hotel holds a prime location within Megaworld's Boracay Newcoast estate, a sprawling 150-hectare tourism township development project. The hotel is positioned closest to Newcoast Beach, a 300-meter stretch of secluded white sand shoreline, where the iconic Boracay Keyhole, an imposing rock formation carved by erosion (known in the local dialect as "lapus-lapus"), can be found.

"We are a part of the Alliance Global hospitality group. In toto, we carry 12 hotels with 7,700 rooms (and counting), making us the largest homegrown hotel chain. Belmont Cafe is our all-day dining outlet while the other amenities include the Zabana pool bar, the Bike & Brew station, the Aqua Spa, the fitness gym, and the swimming pool. The expansive Newport Beach is ideal for destination dinners. Plus, guests who want to check out the D'Mall  area can avail of periodic rides to and from that side of the island," apprized director of sales & marketing (DoSM) Neth Tiong.

The Newcoast estate, where Belmont Hotel and its two sister hotels (Savoy and Chancellor) are located, is not for the Boracay virgin. A first-timer on the island would seek out the island's pulsating nightlife that has been associated with what Boracay has been known for. This side of the island is for the sedate traveler who enjoys the peace & quiet, as well as moments of solitude, yet has all other amenities within his/her reach. And the "Mindful Escapes," campaign helps him/her achieve that.

"Simply put, #MindfulEscapes is tranquility with a lot of heart. Guests get to enjoy the peace and quiet of Newcoast while also enjoying activities like the ATV rides, kayaking, or cycling the E-bikes among many other. It's like finding a way to find yourself," enthused hotel manager Maia Israel.

Partnering with Belmont Hotel Boracay on the wellness campaign is Air Asia.

"We are a low-cost carrier via Skytrax. We service 300 routes/destinations through 700 airlines annually. Air Asia is now a travel super app, a one-stop-shop for anything and everything related to air travel. Travelers who book with us will enjoy a 3-day, 2-nights stay with Belmont Hotel and enjoy 40% discount (for only P 11,300), aside from other freebies upon check-in," invited Triciah Terada, Air Asia super app communications & PR manager.
