As the year wraps up, the holiday spirit is slowly but surely gearing up to celebrate the successes, the triumphs over adversities that seemed insurmountable. Finally, the pandemic restrictions are also easing into a more relaxed mode and this has seen five-star accommodations and casino resorts able to offer the best for their guests.
Okada Manila, a Forbes 5-star integrated resort readies its accommodations and offerings to give the most magical holidays for its guests. There are numerous events lined up as well as venues that are now opened up and gleaming with the holiday season themes. This starts with “A Night of a Thousand Lights” as its theme at the Fountain Foyer where one of the most magnificently decorated Christmas Trees is found.
The lighting of the tree was attended to by Okada Manila’s top management and witnessed by media guests and property visitors. The astounding 38-foot Christmas tree was a dramatic sight to see as this has taken its inspiration from a magical “Whimsical Dreamland” filled with bright lights and splendid decorations such as ornate white twigs, a fairytale window likened to that of a dwarf’s house, festooned with sparkly green garlands, and accentuated with clear and white beautiful Christmas balls, as well as dazzling fairy lights.
After the Christmas Tree lighting, this was followed by an equally magical event with the launch of a Christmas Village and a stunning Light Show at the Crystal Pavilion — one of the newest events place at Okada Manila. Guests at the Christmas Village will be able to establish memories of the 2022 holidays via interactive photo booths that showcased different holiday themes among which are the Fairy Garden, Giant Gift Box and Mistletoe booth. Guests can also visit the “North Pole”, or go dive into a singalong with carolers via augmented and virtual reality.
The Light Show is also a sight not to be skipped. The latest state-of-the-art technology played its hand in having the unbelievable synchronized light show with favourite Christmas tunes. The light show sees over 300,000 individual pixel-mapped LEDs and with more than 300 separate digital controllers, spectators can be amazed at how wonderful a sight this will be.
These events marked just the beginning of Okada Manila’s holiday highlights for every visitor and guest at their place. There are ongoing festivities and surprises in store at Okada Manila all throughout the Yuletide season.
