Somerset Alabang Manila concludes its 10th Anniversary celebration with the exclusive preview of Soluna, marking a new chapter for Your Home in the South



For the past decade, Somerset Alabang Manila has been more than a place to stay, it has been a home in the South, where heartfelt hospitality, meaningful experiences, and genuine care have welcomed travelers, families, business guests, and the local community alike.


As the property concludes its month-long 10th Anniversary celebration, Somerset Alabang Manila looks back on ten years of memorable milestones while embracing an exciting new chapter: one that is refreshed, elevated, and thoughtfully reimagined without losing the warmth and comfort that guests have come to know and love.


Under the anniversary campaign, "A Decade of Welcoming You Home," the celebration reflected Somerset Alabang Manila's evolution into a complete lifestyle destination where guests can stay, dine, gather, celebrate, and connect through experiences designed with purpose.


The anniversary culminated in the property's tenth and final celebration an evening that brought together distinguished guests, partners, media, clients, and friends to commemorate a decade of hospitality while offering an exclusive first look at Soluna, Somerset Alabang Manila's newest


A new chapter begins


Leading this milestone is Somerset Alabang Manila's growing food and beverage portfolio, designed to offer thoughtfully curated dining experiences from sunrise to sundown.


Veranda at SAM, the property's all-day dining restaurant, embraces the philosophy of Mindful Dining, serving Filipino and Western cuisine prepared through sustainable practices and GloCal sourcing, bringing together globally inspired culinary standards with locally sourced ingredients that support Filipino farmers, producers, and artisans.



Complementing Veranda is Soluna, Somerset Alabang Manila's newest dining concept.


Inspired by the fusion of Sol (sun) and Luna (moon), Soluna celebrates the seamless transition from morning to evening offering specialty coffee by day, wholesome all-day meals, and handcrafted cocktails by night.


During the anniversary finale, Somerset Alabang Manila welcomed guests to an exclusive Soluna Preview, offering an early introduction to the restaurant's concept, flavors, and experience before its full completion. Rather than waiting for every finishing touch, the property chose to share this milestone first with the partners, clients, media, and supporters who have been part of its journey over the past decade.


At the heart of both dining concepts is Somerset Alabang Manila's commitment to Mindful Dining, a philosophy that delivers exceptional culinary experiences while caring for people, communities, and the environment.


Through responsible sourcing, conscious consumption, and sustainable hospitality practices, every dining experience is thoughtfully designed to reduce environmental impact while celebrating local ingredients and meaningful partnerships.



Beyond dining, Somerset Alabang Manila also continues to elevate celebrations through its enhanced event venues offering beautifully curated spaces complemented by in-house culinary services, comfortable accommodations, and personalized service.


Together, these additions reinforce Somerset Alabang Manila's vision of becoming a destination where every stay, gathering, celebration, and dining experience feels like home.


Hospitality with purpose


Sustainability has always been woven into Somerset Alabang Manila's story through Ascott CARES, The Ascott Limited's sustainability framework aligned with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Criteria.


Over the years, responsible hospitality has become part of everyday operations from environmental initiatives and resource-conscious practices to meaningful partnerships that create lasting value for guests, colleagues, and the wider community.


This commitment extends naturally into its dining philosophy. Through Mindful Dining, Somerset Alabang Manila believes hospitality should nourish not only its guests but also local livelihoods, the environment, and future generations.


A month of meaningful celebrations


Throughout July, Somerset Alabang Manila celebrated ten years through ten thoughtfully curated events that reflected its values of hospitality, sustainability, creativity, and community.


The celebration began with the 10th Anniversary Launch, featuring a specially curated four-course dinner that highlighted locally sourced ingredients from Muntinlupa farmers and artisans while showcasing the property's commitment to sustainability.


Guests also enjoyed the 32-Hour Anniversary Stay, giving them more time to slow down, reconnect, and create meaningful memories at their Home in the South.


The Craft & Create Series brought together families, friends, and aspiring creators through hands-on workshops, including candle making, cocktail crafting, soap making, and the Little Hotelier Experience for children.


Beyond the hotel, Somerset Alabang Manila strengthened its commitment to nation-building through a meaningful partnership with the Philippine Air Force School at Fernando Air Base, providing hospitality training and educational support that empower future generations.


The Home in the South Weekend Market celebrated local entrepreneurs, artisans, and community brands in partnership with The Social Fair and Manila Walking Club, while the Venue Open House welcomed guests to discover the property's event spaces, accommodations, and culinary offerings.


The return of the Pet Community Walk brought together fur parents and their beloved companions for a morning of wellness, responsible pet ownership, and adoption advocacy.



Meanwhile, Greenversary, in partnership with Muntinlupa City's Environmental Sanitation Center, demonstrated the power of collective action by gathering 325 kilograms of recyclable materials, more than tripling last year's collection of 106 kilograms.


The month-long celebration concluded with Somerset Alabang Manila's 10th Anniversary Celebration and Soluna Preview, symbolizing both a milestone worth celebrating and the beginning of an exciting new chapter.


Looking Ahead


Ten years is more than a milestone, it is the beginning of something even greater.


As Somerset Alabang Manila looks toward the future, it remains committed to creating experiences that are warm, sustainable, and thoughtfully designed for every guest.


With refreshed spaces, elevated dining concepts rooted in mindful hospitality, meaningful community initiatives, and experiences that bring people together, Somerset Alabang Manila continues its journey as a destination where guests can stay, dine, gather, and celebrate all in one place.


While the property continues to evolve, one thing remains unchanged: the feeling of coming home.
