Staying at UMA Hotel + Residences in Naga City during Halloween? You’re in for a treat! UMA Hotel’s blend of modern luxury and local charm provides the perfect base for exploring Naga City while offering delightful Halloween-themed activities to keep the little ones entertained. Here’s a guide to some fun and spooky things you can do with your kids while staying at Uma Hotel.

1. Trick-or-Treat within the Hotel

Many family-friendly hotels, including UMA, organize in-house trick-or-treating events for kids. Check with the hotel reception if they are hosting one this year! Children can dress up in their spookiest or cutest costumes and go door-to-door around the hotel’s common areas, collecting candies and small treats from designated rooms or staff.

Tip: Pack costumes ahead of time, or visit local markets in Naga to find unique, handmade accessories to add a regional twist to their outfits.

2. DIY Halloween Crafts

The hotel’s cozy ambiance is perfect for staying in and enjoying some creative activities with your kids. Bring along a mini crafting kit or ask the hotel concierge if they have art supplies available for guests. Kids can enjoy making spooky masks, paper pumpkins, or bat-themed decorations.

Fun Idea: Use some of the vibrant Bicolano-inspired patterns and designs for a local flavor in your Halloween crafts!

3. Ghost Storytelling Sessions

Get into the spirit of Halloween with a ghost storytelling night! Use the dim lighting of your hotel room. Prepare classic ghost stories suitable for kids or go local by sharing the spine-chilling legends of Naga City and its surrounding areas, like the mythical Aswang or Kapre.

Family Bonding: This is a perfect opportunity for some cozy family time, with kids wrapped up in blankets while listening to fun (and slightly spooky) tales.

4. Visit Naga City’s Plaza Quince Martires for a Spooky Evening Stroll

For a more active Halloween evening, take the kids for a spooky yet fun walk around Plaza Quince Martires. The plaza is one of Naga’s central historic landmarks, and during Halloween, it may take on an eerie but exciting vibe with its centuries-old trees and historic monuments.

While you’re out, you can also explore the nearby Naga Metropolitan Cathedral or the historical streets of the city—perfect for some ghost story inspiration.

5. Halloween-Themed Movie Night

End the day with a Halloween-themed movie night in your hotel room. Bring along your favorite family-friendly Halloween movies or ask if the hotel has a movie collection available in their Netflix. Combine it with some popcorn and candy from your trick-or-treat stash, and you’ve got a cozy way to wind down.

Movie Suggestions:

• Casper (1995) – A classic friendly ghost story.
• Hotel Transylvania (2012) – Perfect for little ones who love monsters.
• Hocus Pocus (1993) – A fun, witchy adventure for the whole family.

6. Day Trip to Local Tourist Spots with a Halloween Twist

If you’re feeling adventurous, take a quick day trip to some of Naga’s famous tourist spots. You could add a little Halloween twist to the adventure by telling spooky stories related to each place! Visit places like Malabsay Falls or Panicuason Hot Spring Resort and imagine stories of mystical creatures from folklore hiding in the forest.

7. Costume Parade at the Hotel

If the hotel is hosting a Halloween party or event, encourage your kids to participate in a costume parade! This could be a fun way for them to show off their costumes, mingle with other children, and perhaps win a small prize for creativity.

Creative Costume Idea: Try incorporating local elements into the costume. For example, dressing as a mythical creature from Philippine folklore such as a Tikbalang or a Manananggal could be both fun and educational!

8. Halloween Costume Contests at Malls

There are several malls near the hotel that hosts annual Halloween Costume contest. You may ask the hotel concierge about the details about it. You can let your kids join in these local costume contests for fun and they may also win special prizes too for participating.
