The Art of Celebration
Revered as the heart of the Philippines, Panay invites you to a true Filipino feast, where craft, harvest, and legacy dance hand in hand. The grand fiesta table of Panay puts together the stately heritage of Iloilo, the pillars of Visayan cuisine, the mastery of Hablon, the intricacy of lace embroidery and Piña weaving, the open-air grills and seafood revelry of Capiz and Carles, and the fine, white sand and crystal waters of Boracay Island as the last indulgence.
