If you’re staying at MMC Home Away in the S Residences, you’re right next to one of the most dynamic destinations in Metro Manila—SM Mall of Asia (MOA). As someone who helps guests find not just a place to stay but a great overall experience, I always recommend carving out a day or two to explore the exciting attractions that MOA has to offer. Just a few steps from your condo, you’ll find activities perfect for couples, families, solo travelers, and even furry companions.

Start your adventure at SM By the Bay, the amusement park lining Seaside Boulevard. This is where you’ll find the iconic MOA Eye, the Philippines’ largest Ferris wheel, offering incredible panoramic views of Manila Bay—especially stunning at sunset. There’s something for everyone here, from the adrenaline-pumping Drop Tower and Pirate Ship to kid-friendly rides like the Carousel and Lolly Swing. If you’re planning to try everything, getting an all-day ride pass is worth it. The area also hosts regular live events and performances, adding to its lively atmosphere and making it a great place to spend an afternoon or evening.

For something a little different, head indoors to cool off at the SM Skating Rink on the third level of the main mall. This Olympic-sized rink is a favorite for both first-timers and seasoned skaters. It’s a fun way to try something new while on vacation, and it’s open to all ages. Skating lessons are also available, and if you’re lucky, you might catch one of their entertaining ice shows during your visit.

If you’ve got a sweet tooth or just love unique experiences, The Dessert Museum at Conrad Manila is another must-see. It’s not just about sweets—it’s a full-blown interactive art experience. With eight themed rooms filled with giant desserts, colorful backdrops, and fun activities, it’s an Instagrammer’s paradise and a hit for kids and adults alike. They also hold creative workshops and events throughout the year, so there’s always something new to look forward to.

A more recent addition to the MOA Complex is MOA Sky, a 55,000-square-meter rooftop park that blends nature, wellness, entertainment, and sustainability. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite spots to recommend to guests. MOA Sky features several unique areas, starting with the MOA Sky Amphitheater, a spacious open-air venue used for concerts, shows, and events. When it’s not booked, it becomes a relaxing space for families and groups to gather and enjoy the open sky.

There’s also the MOA Paw Park, a dedicated space for pets to run and play, which is a thoughtful touch for guests traveling with their furry companions. For those looking for quiet moments, the MOA Sanctuary offers a peaceful corner for reflection and even hosts art exhibits and cultural programs. Sports lovers can head to the MOA Football Pitch, a professional-grade field that regularly holds matches and training sessions.

For fitness enthusiasts, MOA Sky has a one-kilometer jogging and walking track, complete with fitness stations and views of Manila Bay. Whether you’re into morning runs or evening strolls, it’s a refreshing way to stay active while enjoying the sights. And don’t miss the viewing decks, perfect for catching the famous Manila sunset or simply relaxing while taking in the skyline. What’s even more impressive is that MOA Sky is powered by a 3-megawatt solar rooftop, showing SM’s commitment to green and sustainable design.

With all these attractions just minutes away from MMC Home Away, you don’t have to go far to experience fun, food, and relaxation. Whether you’re spending a full day exploring or dropping by in between other plans, MOA offers something memorable for every kind of traveler.
