The Philippines is a Southeast Asian country with over 7,000 islands. These islands, which are divided into three major island groups, namely Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, offer their own set of attractions, so choosing where to stay will depend on your interests. For instance, if you like visiting historical attractions, you may want to visit Calle Crisologo in Vigan or Fort Santiago in Intramuros, both of which date back to the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines. If you prefer to spend time on the beach, you can’t go wrong with spending time in Boracay or El Nido. Love trekking? You can challenge yourself to conquer Mount Apo, the highest mountain in the country. There are plenty of activities and attractions that await you. Book one of the long-term rentals in the Philippines to give yourself time to explore and have fun visiting some of these sights.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, decor, availability of dates, and long-term stay rules and regulations. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 14, 2024.
