The city of Makati is the financial center of the Philippines and one of the major financial, commercial and economic hubs in Asia. It is one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world, and provides an eclectic mix of holiday rentals - from luxurious homes to small holiday villas and rental condos on the outskirts of the city. Makati is well known for its highly cosmopolitan culture, and many expatriates live and work in the city. It is also a major cultural and entertainment hub in Metro Manila.

If you enjoy horseracing, there are two racetracks in Makati: the Santa Ana Racetrack, in the northern part of the city, and the San Lazaro Leisure Park in Carmona, Cavite. You can make easy arrangements from your holiday rental to enjoy a day at the races. To witness a chukka of the sport of kings, the Manila Polo Club provides lively entertainment. Or you can play a round of golf on an 18-hole golf course amid the lush greenery of the city.
