The Aspirations of Mr. Chris Uy: A New Investment at Banyan Tree Manila Bay

At 50 years old, Chris is a seasoned entrepreneur with multiple businesses and proud owner of buildings in the bustling Macapagal area and Fort Bonifacio Global City. His ventures have afforded him a lifestyle marked by luxury and comfort, but it is his passion for travel and culture that truly defines him.

A Taste for Luxury and Culture
Chris has always believed that life is best lived through experiences. His family travels frequently, exploring exotic destinations around the globe. One of their most memorable stays was at the Banyan Tree in Thailand, where they were enveloped in luxury and immersed in local culture. The experience was transformative, igniting a desire within him to replicate that feeling closer to home.

One of the reasons he liked and decided to buy at Banyan Tree Manila Bay is that each Banyan Tree property in different countries offers a sense of home. He appreciates the concept that every property adapts to the local culture, allowing him to experience diverse environments while still feeling at home.

Why Banyan Tree Manila Bay?
Chris is captivated by what Banyan Tree Manila Bay represents: a blend of luxury living with an emphasis on cultural authenticity. The development will feature spacious residences designed with high-end finishes and panoramic views of the bay, an ideal sanctuary for his family. The promise of exclusive amenities — like the famous Banyan Tree Spa, the water features designed by renowned Wet Design company based in California, especially the water feature at the drop-off area, was inspired by the Banaue Rice Terraces. With water patterns that flows across the steps to create a calming effect that eases the noise of the city, and access to a global network of resorts — fits perfectly with Chris's desire for both relaxation and adventure. He also loves the benefit of playing golf while traveling in different countries like in Thailand (Laguna Golf Phuket), Vietnam (Lang Co), and Indonesia (Bintan). 

Moreover, one of the reasons of his decision is the Banyan Tree Exclusive Access, which offers unique privileges for residents. Property owners shall receive exclusive access to the Banyan Tree Sanctuary Club, a membership program allowing property owners of brands within the Banyan Tree Group to enjoy extensive benefits and entitlements. This membership would allow him to indulge in luxurious experiences across worldwide locations, including the Group's global network of hotels, resorts, spas, and even golf courses, while fostering connections with like-minded individuals who share his passion for travel and culture.

The Romance of Travel at Home
For him, this decision is about embracing a lifestyle that combines luxury and cultural exploration. With his upcoming home at Banyan Tree Manila Bay, Chris looks forward to weekends spent with his family by the infinity pool or dining at rooftop vertigo bar, all while anticipating the stunning sunsets over Manila Bay. He is excited for the completion of the development, which is set for 2028.

What drew Chris to Banyan Tree Manila Bay was its ability to offer a sense of home while reflecting the culture of each countries. As a frequent traveler who values experiencing different traditions, he appreciates how Banyan Tree properties adapt to their surroundings while maintaining the same high standard of comfort and hospitality.
