A leaseback model is a smart investment structure where:
You buy a branded residence or hotel-managed unit.
The hotel operates your unit as part of their inventory.
They lease it back from you under a fixed-term contract.
You, as the owner, receive predictable, contract-backed income — while the brand takes care of operations, maintenance, and guest management.
Unlike traditional rentals where you handle tenants, brokers, and upkeep, a leaseback asset gives you:
Predictable, guaranteed income — backed by a legally binding lease.
Zero day-to-day operations
A global brand maintaining your property — ensuring your asset stays in pristine condition.
Dual returns — steady rental yield plus capital appreciation over time.
Essentially, it’s like owning a hotel business without the headaches of actually running one.
For years, leaseback investments were exclusive to markets like Singapore, Japan, and Europe.
But the Philippines’ rise in tourism, coupled with international hotel operators entering the market, has opened the door for Filipino and OFW investors to join this proven global wealth model.
The Philippines is now home to an impressive roster of luxury hotels and branded residences, including Banyan Tree Manila Bay (opening 2028), Dusit Thani, Hilton Manila, Raffles & Fairmont Makati, Shangri-La at the Fort, Grand Hyatt, Conrad Manila, Marriott, Hotel Okura, Solaire Resort & Residences, The Peninsula Manila, Nobu Hotel, Hyatt Regency, Crimson Hotel, Westin Sonata Place, Radisson Blu Cebu, Savoy Mactan, Nuwa, Nobu Hotel, and more.
If you want your money working at hotel speed but your lifestyle doesn’t allow hotel stress, a leaseback investment might be your smartest next move.
It’s not just passive income —
It’s a passive business wrapped in real estate.
