BONDI BEACH, Australia – Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ leading airline, is injecting a dose of Filipino warmth into the Australian winter with its innovative “Cebu Pacific Travel Beach Bar” at the iconic Bondi Festival.

The first-of-its-kind heated beach bar offers festival-goers a unique and immersive taste of Filipino culture, transforming a corner of Bondi Beach into a tropical escape.

Amid the festival’s vibrant atmosphere, the Cebu Pacific Travel Beach Bar stands out with its design inspired by the traditional “bahay kubo” (nipa hut).

Standing heaters create a cozy ambiance reminiscent of the Philippines’ tropical climate, providing a welcome respite from the Australian winter chill.

Visitors can savor authentic Filipino delicacies, groove to lively Filipino music, and immerse themselves in the country’s rich cultural heritage.

“We’re thrilled to bring a slice of the Philippines to Bondi Beach,” said a Cebu Pacific spokesperson.

“This unique travel beach bar is a testament to our commitment to showcasing Filipino culture on the world stage and inviting travelers to experience the warmth and vibrancy of our islands.”

Cebu Pacific’s presence at the Bondi Festival marks a pioneering collaboration, making it the first airline to become an official partner of the event.

The travel beach bar, which is open until July 20, is an extension of the airline’s “Fly to Your Happy Philippines” campaign, aimed at encouraging global travelers to explore the diverse beauty and unique experiences the Philippines has to offer.

Beyond the experience at the festival, Cebu Pacific is also offering incredibly affordable fares to Australia.

Passengers can book one-way all-in fares to Australia for as low as P7,999 for travel between Aug. 1 and Dec. 31, 2025 – perfect for planning a holiday getaway.

Bondi Beach, located just outside central Sydney, is renowned for its stunning coastline, vibrant surf culture, and relaxed atmosphere, attracting both local and foreign tourists all year round.

The annual Bondi Festival transforms the beach into a hub of arts, live performances, and culinary experiences, now enhanced by Cebu Pacific’s tropical-themed travel beach bar.

With daily flights between Manila and Sydney and four weekly flights to Melbourne, Cebu Pacific makes it easier than ever for Filipinos and international travelers alike to explore iconic Australian destinations, from the Sydney Opera House to Melbourne’s Federation Square.

Cebu Pacific launched its Manila-Sydney route in 2014, followed by Manila-Melbourne in 2018. The airline has flown over 250 million passengers, solidifying its commitment to providing affordable and accessible flights across its network of 37 domestic and 26 international destinations spanning Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
