Beats by the beach
One of the standout highlights of Love Samal 2026 is the Love Samal Soirée, happening on May 2 at the Haribar Glamping Area. Running from 6 pm to 11 pm, the evening promises a vibrant mix of live entertainment, from duo singers with reggae to pop and mixed-genre performances, before seamlessly shifting into DJ sets that will keep the energy going through the night. Cultural elements are worked into the program, with drum beaters, fire dancers, and native costume dance performances adding depth and energy to the evening. Interactive experiences such as a photobooth and face painting stations are also available throughout the night.
Dining is offered as part of the experience, with the soirée priced at PHP 2,800 net per person with unlimited drinks from Asia Brewery and Charles & James. This includes access to the evening’s full entertainment lineup, allowing guests to enjoy the program in one seamless setting.
As the evening builds, DJ performances take over, leading into an after-party by the shore that keeps the energy going well into the night.
Nights by the shore
The beachfront hosts evening soirees that run alongside the main entertainment program. Lounge and seating areas are arranged throughout Haribar Lounge’s space, giving guests options to stay close to the stage or settle into quieter corners of the venue.
