Manila is a bustling city filled with culture, commerce, and convenience — and when it comes to choosing the perfect place to stay, being near the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) is a top priority for many travelers. Whether you’re visiting from abroad, returning home as a balikbayan, or coming from the province, there are many reasons why guests choose to stay near MOA — and why MMC HomeAway is a favorite among them.
First, you’re right in the middle of everything. MOA isn’t just a shopping mall — it’s a lifestyle destination. With hundreds of shops, restaurants, cinemas, entertainment zones, and even a concert arena, everything you need is just steps away. Travelers love how they can shop for essentials, catch a movie, enjoy a wide range of food, and even experience weekend fireworks exhibitions without needing to travel far.
Second, staying near MOA means easy access to the airport and transport hubs. When you’re only in Manila for a short time, location really matters. The area is just 15 to 20 minutes away from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), depending on traffic, and it’s also close to major bus terminals, highways, and public transportation. This makes it a convenient choice for those on a layover, attending appointments, or connecting to another destination.
Another reason travelers prefer this location is the relaxing atmosphere of Manila Bay. After a long day of travel or errands, many enjoy taking a walk along the MOA Baywalk. With its peaceful sea breeze and views of the famous Manila Bay sunset, it’s a beautiful place to unwind. It’s popular among couples, families, and solo travelers who want a few quiet moments close to their accommodations.
Of course, food is another highlight. MOA offers endless choices for every type of craving — from local street food to upscale Filipino dishes, fast food favorites, and international cuisines. Guests especially enjoy nearby cafes like Mary Grace, Starbucks Reserve, and other hidden gems that are perfect for casual meetups, remote work, or simply relaxing with a cup of coffee.
Lastly, this area works for all types of travelers. Whether you’re a balikbayan visiting family, a seafarer resting between contracts, a tourist exploring Manila, or a provincial guest attending medical checkups, embassy appointments, or simply enjoying a break in the city — staying near MOA gives you easy access to it all. And with MMC HomeAway, you get fully furnished, clean, and comfortable short-term rentals just minutes from the mall and airport, so you can focus on your trip and leave the stress behind.
At MMC HomeAway, we offer travelers a place that’s close to the action, yet peaceful and hassle-free. You’ll enjoy hotel-like comfort with the freedom and space of a home.
