The Manila Bay IR is an integrated theme park. The distinct character is set next to a canal and the sea with a charmingly unique style of lifestyle opportunities. The repertoire includes a myriad of shopping, dining, entertainment in a linear pedestrian street besides the canal. On the seafront, there is the charismatic sea-fronting hotel supported by its waterfront private villas complete with its own gondola, more shopping and dining, a yacht club and an international cruise terminal.
Spanish inspired architecture is drawn on in this masterplan. Typical character-defining features of the style are low-pitched hipped roofs covered in arched red clay tile, stucco wall planes, either smooth or roughly textured, carved brackets, arcaded porches and arched door and window openings, commonly infilled with wrought iron grilles. Balconies and other elements made of cast iron, exterior ornament including ornate doors and enriched door surrounds often mimicking stone are also typical.
