7 Spa & Hot Spring Days in the Philippines to Build a Day Around

1.Town Tour with Maquinit Hot Spring

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 57 reviews · 4 hours · from $18Our pick

Spend an afternoon exploring Coron by air-conditioned van, with hotel pickup, a 700-step climb to Mount Tapyas, town sights, souvenir shopping, and a soak in Maquinit’s rare saltwater hot spring. English and Tagalog guides lead private or small groups, and guides such as Pedro or Peter may add plenty of warmth.

“Worth it for the last 2 stops only (mt. Tapyas & hot springs) if you want an air conditioned drive there and back. Although the van was literally falling apart. There is no need for a tour guide on any of the stops - they mostly wait at the van for you. We were picked up at 3:15pm and dropped off at 8:30pm so beware it finishes a bit later than intended. The first few stops were unnecessary in our opinions - took us to the “I am coron” sign for 20 mins and to a souvenir store. We thought maybe it was a cashew factory or something like that,…”

3.Spa and Wellness Experience at Helios Spa

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 15 reviews · 1 - 3 hours · from $32

Helios Spa Boracay combines a chosen massage with round-trip van transfers from McDonald’s in D’mall, pool access, Cocogamot Tea, juice, and mango graham cake. Plan on one to three hours, and arrive 15 minutes early to meet the driver.

“It was awkward, to say the least. I booked this massage thinking it was just for one per person. Instead? It was a shared couples massage with my mother. The massage was a little intense and the oil they used smelled terrible. I literally had to shower there to get the smell off me. The staff was very friendly and we made sure to tip. Would i ever come back? Absolutely not.”

Spend four hours seeing Coron Town with an English-speaking guide, climb Mt. Tapyas for bay views, visit a cashew factory, and soak in Maquinit Hot Spring. Hotel pickup, boat transport, permits, and entry fees are included, but confirm lunch details before booking.

“We enjoyed a lot our tour. Our driver was super cool he made the whole experience so easy and interesting explaining things about the culture of the Philippines. Mount Tapyas has an amazing view totally recommend it but you can also do it on your own. The hot springs were the perfect way to conclude the tour. Recommend it as a few hour activity with not super high expectations in terms of the activities but good care by the guide.”
