Somerset Valero Makati

<p>Amidst the metropolitan whirlwind and restless stoplights, a new hotel reinstated the beauty of city life. <strong>Somerset</strong> <strong>Valero</strong> <strong>Makati</strong> reaffirmed a fresh perspective that the city’s coil can unwind, reducing the urban strain while offering a restorative sanctuary that showers us with convenience and serenity. We recently stayed at this spot to de-stress and re-align. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1773905135074rodolfo-raquel-nP5YZlbEsBw-unsplash.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner"><a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/a-street-with-cars-and-people-on-it-with-tall-buildings-in-the-background-nP5YZlbEsBw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Photo by Rodolfo Raquel on Unsplash</a></span></span></span></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>A Haven in a Bustling City</strong></div><p>Under the five-star hotel company, <strong>The Ascott Limited Philippines</strong>, Somerset Valero is an urban oasis beyond the ordinary, offering luxury residential apartments minutes away from the city’s vibrant pulse. It features a total of 182 meticulously designed apartments, combined with amazing amenities that overlook Makati’s lifestyle hubs. With rooms available for solo adventurers up to large families, the property is positioned beyond rental space; it’s a comfortable residence while enjoying the shopping and entertainment district. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1772187621274SOMERSET VALERO ROOM.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner" data-gramm="false" data-qb-tmp-id="lt-501006" spellcheck="false">Photo via @somersetvaleromakati</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Somerset Valero’s Wellness Offerings</strong></div><p>To completely immerse and get the full picture of the stay, Somerset Valero invited us for an overnight wellness retreat. On our first day, they gave us a tour around the building, showcasing its neat and modern architecture that blends with the vibe of Makati—refreshing, curated, and pristine. </p><p>Afterwards, our retreat commenced with a breathwork meditation led by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sama_wellbeing/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SAMA Well-Being</a>—a nearby studio and wellness-focused offering curated specifically for our visit. The forty-minute session allowed our thoughts to wander, helping our minds calm down and learn the art of releasing energies that don&#x27;t serve us well anymore. True to its word, the breathing exercise contributed positively to our bodies, particularly our sleep. It made our zzz’s better—we enjoyed the hotel bed without any disruption. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1772187693014SOMERSET VALERO EXERCISE.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" data-gramm="false" data-qb-tmp-id="lt-181130" spellcheck="false">Photo via @somersetvaleromakati</span></span></span><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1773905991663Somerset Valero Makati Bedroom.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Sleep is a true wellness luxury | Photo via @somersetvaleromakati</span></span></span></div><p>The next day, we were awakened by the sunrise penetrating beautifully into the windows, alongside the breakfast buffet awaiting in the lobby. In case you were wondering, there are also a lot of charming cafes and amazing restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. After our delicious morning snack, we headed toward our next wellness session—a yoga class that stretched our muscles well. The session was also led by the same wellness center, this time with a different coach. All that stretching encouraged our blood to circulate better, returning our body to its naturally healthy state.</p><p>The best thing the yoga exercise did? It allowed our muscles to regain strength, realigning our posture and giving us a relaxing breathing practice. Additionally, Somerset Valero plans to incorporate these types of wellness offerings in the future, exploring collaborations that provide a similar experience for their guests.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1773906188864SnapInsta.to_618530298_122273842004234679_7579538585843344183_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Reach your target steps or take a jog around the property | Photo via @somersetvaleromakati</span></span></span></div><p>Our overnight stay extended beyond a mere staycation; Somerset Valero introduced a complete wellness escape we rarely get within the hustle and bustle of city life. It was then that we remembered our demand for tranquility does not require us to go very far. Holistic retreats can blend into our city life—upgraded, elevated, and convenient. </p><div><em>Visit </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/somersetvaleromakati" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>@somersetvaleromakati</em></a><em> on Instagram for updates.</em></div>
