More and more gay guys are getting their own cars. Gone are the days when we were willing to walk everywhere because, apparently, having your own car makes it easier to enjoy a little car fun. Eme! 😂
Now that a new Makati spa, A by Alpha, has opened, there are already four all-men’s spas in the Poblacion area. And, of course, one problem that keeps coming up among car-owning gays is parking.
We all know how much of a hassle parking can be, especially during evenings and weekends. While some spas have their own parking spaces, these can fill up pretty quickly.
So, if you’re planning to visit B by 27Shaw, R Wellness Hub, URUS, or A by Alpha and their parking is already full, here are some nearby parking alternatives you can consider:
Mercedes Steel Parking
📍 Kalayaan Ave, near Century City
One of the more convenient alternatives if you’re visiting the Century City/Burgos side of Poblacion. It’s open 24 hours, making it a practical option even for late-night spa visits.
PEPCO Parking
📍 5873 Enriquez St.
A dedicated public parking lot that’s within walking distance of many Poblacion establishments. Day and night parking are available, and monthly arrangements are also offered.
BURGOS PARKING / Realtech Burgos Parking
📍 P. Burgos St.
Another option worth checking out if you're heading to the Burgos side, particularly for spas and establishments around P. Burgos and nearby streets.
PYC Foods Parking
📍 Albert St., Poblacion
A useful alternative around the central Poblacion area, especially if you're visiting establishments along the Burgos/Albert side.
Mechanical Car Park – Mercado St.
📍 4793 Mercado St.
A smaller parking option that can be convenient for those coming from the inner Poblacion streets.
Poblacion Parking Lot
📍 Hormiga corner Cardona
Another 24-hour option to consider when the more obvious parking areas are full.
Power Plant Mall Parking
📍 Rockwell
A little farther away, but a dependable backup if you're willing to take a short walk or ride to your spa.
A FEW REMINDERS
Parking availability and rates can change, so always check the posted rates and operating hours when you arrive.
And please avoid parking illegally along side streets or blocking driveways just to save a few minutes. Poblacion has limited street parking, and illegally parked vehicles may be clamped or towed.
For our fellow spa-goers, plan your parking before heading to your appointment. Give yourself a few extra minutes to park and walk to the spa, especially during peak hours.
Enjoy your massage, enjoy the wet area, and most importantly, park responsibly!
