Marriott Manila at Newport World Resorts invites guests to learn about sustainable farming practices in land-scarce areas at our hotel's in-house urban farm, and discover the benefits of hydroponics in reducing carbon emissions and ensuring food security through a hands-on experience.

Led by our chef, guests enjoy a guided tour around our hotel's urban farm, while observing first-hand how plants thrive—in a temperature-controlled environment—without soil simply by using nutrient-rich water. Guests also have the unique opportunity to join our chef and harvest fresh vegetables directly from the farm and make customized salads with their own harvest afterwards.

Through this experience, guests gain valuable insights into modern, sustainable farming practices such as hydroponics and experience how the concept of farm-to-table in urban areas comes to life.

Fostering appreciation for creative food regeneration and promoting sustainable practices that minimize food waste, Marriott Manila at Newport World Resorts has curated an interactive workshop that combines creative culinary techniques with sustainability education to encourage environmental responsibility among guests. Guided by a professional culinary expert, participants receive step-by-step guidance on how to turn discarded food ingredients, such as citrus peels and watermelon rinds, into artisanal sweets and natural cleaning solutions. Throughout the experience, guests gain valuable insights into pastry artistry and the science behind confectionery, alongside basic fermentation principles and natural chemical processes required to make natural cleaning solutions.

By making sustainability accessible, practice, and engaging for participants, this experience demonstrates how easy it is to adopt sustainable practices in everyday life, leaving them with new, essential skills to lead a more eco-conscious lifestyle.

Support ongoing humanitarian efforts and relief initiatives of the Philippine Red Cross through a meaningful volunteering program led by Marriott Manila at Newport World Resorts. Organized in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross – Pasay Chapter, this experience introduces guests to the basics of community feeding programs and hunger response initiatives, sharing insights into the role of the Philippine Red Cross in disaster response, community outreach, and humanitarian aid.

Together with our hotel associates and culinary staff, guests contribute by helping to prepare, cook, and pack meals for local beneficiaries, ensuring they are ready for immediate distribution. This program not only allows guests to contribute directly to vulnerable communities in Pasay and nearby areas, but also strengthens the Philippine Red Cross' ongoing efforts in enhancing food security for all.
