Ayala Land's Park Central Towers and Lagen Island top Robb Report Philippines 2026 lists

Two Ayala Land Inc. properties, Park Central Towers in Makati and Lagen Island in El Nido, Palawan, were named "Best of the Best" by Robb Report Philippines in its 2026 selections, according to Mindanao Times. Park Central Towers won in the real estate category and Lagen Island won in travel. The recognitions were published on Oct. 15.

Park Central Towers is developed under Ayala Land Premier and stands at the corner of Paseo de Roxas and Makati Avenue, across from Ayala Triangle Gardens. The magazine praised its use of space, landscaping, architecture and amenities. It noted that the two residential towers cover only part of the 15,860-square-meter site, leaving a large share as open space.

According to the feature, the development has gardens, four sky terraces in each tower, about 6,900 square meters of amenities and common areas, and a three-storey retail podium. Units have floor-to-ceiling windows. Some also have double-height spaces, semi-private elevator access, or private plunge pools and decks.

Lagen Island was recognised for its refreshed resort experience set among limestone cliffs, rainforest and Bacuit Bay. Robb Report Philippines cited a recent makeover that reduced the number of rooms and widened the beach. It also pointed to the resort's Filipino architecture, craftsmanship and Indigenous design references. Guest activities include open-air movie nights on the beach, creative sessions with local artists, and making small bamboo boats as offerings of thanks to the sea.

The award follows Lagen Island's Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide hotel selection in September 2026. Lagen was one of four Ayala Land Hospitality properties to receive MICHELIN Keys that month. Ayala Land Hospitality said that honour came after a year-long transformation of the resort's spaces, guest experiences and links to Filipino craftsmanship.
