Travelhood Luxe 2025: Where Luxury, Meaning, and Family Memories Meet

This August, Travelhood Luxe brings together the spirit of motherhood and the joy of exploration in a travel fair unlike any other—designed for families who crave more than just destinations.

Eight years ago, Travelhood was born from the shared dreams of three powerhouse moms—Chal Chang Lontoc del Rosario, Czarina Ledesma-Cabuñag, and Claud Baron Paulino—who believed travel should be meaningful, family-centered, and deeply personal. This coming August 16 and 17, 2025, Travelhood Luxe elevates that ethos to the next level.

Live Auctions, Luxury, and Laughs

Yes, the heart-pounding Live Travel Auction is back—offering overflowing vouchers and travel essentials starting as low as ₱100. But this year’s edition goes beyond bargain-hunting. Expect luxury: world-class resorts like Amanpulo, Nay Palad, El Nido Resorts, Banwa Private Island, Amorita, and more. Better yet, while you explore, design-your-own manicures from Posh Nailas or unwind with Massage MNL await you on-site—making travel shopping part of the luxe experience itself.

Curated Itineraries by Creators You Love

This year’s highlights are not off-the-shelf tours; they’re deeply personal journeys crafted by creators we trust. Enjoy a stylish Italian escape with Mika Lagdameo (La Doce Mikaela). Explore Taiwan’s flavors with Mark Tan (EATSplore Taiwan). Restore your spirit with Kelly Misa’s The Bali Reset or Kimi Lu’s Sacred Secret Tour. Bask in Oman’s elegant landscapes with Loralee’s Echoes of the East.

Or, if you’re in dire need of a #treatyourself trip, the SuiteEscape by Marie Field Faith will give you a taste of indulgent stays and unforgettable hospitality.

If the whole family’s in the mood for a change of scenery, that’s what the magic of Hong Kong Disneyland is for. Experience fun and exclusive magical experiences with the Go Jackie Go! Disney Dash.

And for the business-minded, the Travelhood Special features a China Business Tour with insider access to the Alibaba Campus and Canton Fair.

Each itinerary brings not just places—but memories shaped by stories we’ve followed for years.

The Meaning of Travel for Moms

Travelhood Luxe was forged by moms who know what meaningful travel means—for both kids and parents. Mothers plan trips not just as vacations, but as living lessons, as Czarina points out: sometimes, a quiet afternoon in a café or a stroll through a museum can be the most impactful journey of all. That’s the beauty here—celebrating travel as education, connection, and intentional family time.

It’s also why Modern Parenting is proud to partner with Travelhood. Filipino moms are often the architects of family joy—and Travelhood Luxe honors that with experiences that reflect both wonder and wisdom.

Sharing Memories beyond the Home

While “home is where the heart is,” sometimes, it can also be found in a suitcase and plane tickets for a family trip.

Travelhood Luxe isn’t just another travel fair. It is where motherhood meets wanderlust, where big dreams and small hands come together, and where every luxurious detail whispers: This trip? It will be unforgettable—because you will be there to share it.
