Our favourite places to stay on this sleepy Cebu island.
For the denizens of Mindanao, warding off the summer heat is much bearable in the city of Malaybalay. The kabisera of Bukidnon has a naturally cool climate thanks to the forests, valleys, rivers, and waterfalls around it. Nature lovers will love trekking the Kitanglad Mountain Range to see its diverse flora and fauna — and maybe even get a glimpse of the Philippine eagle in the wild! For water sports enthusiasts, kayaking is an exciting activity at the Pulangi River, which goes around the city. Take advantage of the city’s thrills and adventures by booking a Malaybalay Airbnb during visits and vacations!
