Two Wheels, One City: Exploring Makati with Bambike and Discovery Primea

An eco-conscious way to rediscover the neighborhood

 

In the heart of Makati City, where modern business meets urban charm, there’s a new way to experience the neighborhood — on two wheels made of bamboo.

As part of Discovery Primea’s commitment to sustainability and wellness, we’ve partnered with Bambike, a proudly Filipino social enterprise that crafts bamboo-framed bicycles by hand. The result? A beautiful and meaningful way to explore Makati City — available free of charge to our in-house guests.

 

A Ride Like No Other

Bambikes are more than just bicycles. Each one features a bike frame handcrafted from bamboo, paired with reliable rubber wheels for a smooth and stable ride. Light, stylish, and durable, these bikes are a symbol of sustainable innovation and Filipino craftsmanship — and now, they’re part of your Discovery Primea experience.

Whether you’re staying for business or leisure, a Bambike ride offers the perfect break from your routine — an invitation to slow down and take in the sights of Makati, one pedal at a time.

 

Where to Go, What to See

Our prime location in the Makati Central Business District makes Discovery Primea the ideal starting point for your cycling adventure. From scenic avenues to hidden gems, here are a few routes to inspire your ride:

• Ayala Triangle Gardens – A few minutes from the hotel, this green space is perfect for a leisurely ride under the shade of trees, with art installations and cafés nearby.

• Legazpi Active Park and Washington SyCip Park – A favorite among fitness enthusiasts and weekend markets. A must-visit on Sundays.

• Paseo de Roxas and Ayala Avenue – Best enjoyed during Car-Free Sundays, when major roads are closed off to vehicles, giving way to joggers, cyclists, and families out for a stroll.

• Salcedo Village and Legazpi Village – Ride through Makati’s most walkable neighborhoods, filled with local cafés, boutiques, and galleries worth discovering.
