Reservations in Paradise: An Indulgent Weekend at Shangri-La Boracay Resort

Looking for a vacation with fantastic food, fine wine, world-class entertainment and good company? Well, come 11th March 2016, you can expect all this and more at Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort & Spa’s highly-anticipated Reservations in Paradise!

Back for its sixth season, this gustatory affair of a weekend makes for a perfect getaway set against the famed sunset of Philippine’s most popular beach destination.

Since its launch in 2013, not only does Reservations in Paradise attract gourmands and gastronomical experience-seekers from all over the world, but every time the event is held, it’s limited to an intimate group of 50 persons.

So, what can you look forward to? The most important is definitely the series of evening cocktails and dinner parties in surprise venues around the resort. Wine lovers will be excited to hear that the bespoke dinner menus will be accompanied by specially-curated wines from prestigious houses such as France’s Château Clinet, Australia’s Torbreck, and Italy’s Fantinel.Shangri-La Boracay

Also upping the ante this year is the onsite entertainment by The Dream Engine International, a company of seasoned aerial acrobats flown in from London. Expect an explosive visual and musical symphony as the performers create an illusion of flying, spiralling, and weightlessness using apparatus such as The Diamond and The Heliosphere. Sounds pretty cool, right? We think so too.
