Booking your flights: our advice
- GO TO GATE – a multi-airline site for finding good-value flights.
- TURKISH AIRLINES – an airline with attractive fares; watch out for transit times in Istanbul.
- CATHAY PACIFIC – an airline with outstanding service, sometimes offering attractive upgrade bids for travelling in higher classes.
- AIR FRANCE – the only airline flying non-stop between Paris and Manila, three times a week from October to March. The route was suspended from May to October 2026: check that it operates on your dates. A little more expensive, but a real saving in time and fatigue.
- ARRIVING VIA CEBU – Cebu can be reached with a single stopover from Doha (Qatar Airways), Dubai (Emirates), Singapore (Singapore Airlines), Hong Kong (Cathay Pacific) or Seoul (Korean Air). From Cebu, you travel on to Malapascua, where Mark, your local manager, meets you for the crossing to Biliran, without going through Manila.
Chez Mamang is a Franco-Filipino travel planner: we design homestay immersion trips on Biliran, in the Philippines.
An accessible and precious immersion
At Chez Mamang, we believe an immersion stay in the Philippines should be within everyone’s reach. You don’t need an outsized budget to live a rare, sincere and deeply human experience.
The stay includes an airport welcome, accommodation with a host family, shared meals, local transport and immersive activities at the heart of daily life. Everything is designed so that you can travel differently, without stress or surprises.
With an 11-day stay from €741 per person, you live a genuine immersion on the island of Biliran, far from the usual circuits. And if you are travelling as a family, children benefit from reduced rates. An adventure open to every generation.
our vision of a simpler, more responsible way to travel
Chez Mamang does not provide on-site support. That is handled by Mark, your local manager. The immersion is lived at the host family’s pace, through local, simple, unguided activities.
There is no 24/7 assistance, nor any permanent guide by your side on the island. Travellers are advised to take out personal travel insurance before departure.
This immersion is deliberately total: on Biliran, there is no tourist infrastructure.
