The Malasimbo Festival in Puerto Galera, Philippines is quickly approaching and in association with agoda.com, a leading global hotel booking site and part of Nasdaq-listed Priceline Group (Nasdaq: PCLN), today announced some great hotel deals for you to really enjoy this music and arts festival.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Puerto Galera Bay, Malasimbo Music and Arts Festival is one of the Philippines' biggest music events. Taking place this year from March 2 to 4, this outdoor festival not only showcases a diversity of local and international art and culture, it gives attendees the chance to see some of Asia's best beaches.

Puerto Galera Bay occupies a pristine slice of coastline on the island of Mindoro, around 80 miles south of Manila.

Along with two neighboring beaches – Sabang and White Beach – Puerto Galera Bay offers the quintessential island experience, with white sand, turquoise water and swaying palms.

Making the most of its privileged location, Malasimbo Festival is set in a natural amphitheater at the base of Mount Malasimbo, with views over the bay.

An international line-up of music artists will perform across multiple genres over the three-day event, while visual artists will subtly transform the terrain with art installations.

For the full line-up, see www.malasimbofestival.com.

Festival-goers with time to linger on the coastline of Oriental Mindoro have scores of bays and beaches to explore.

For the adventurous there's diving at Sabang, windsurfing and sailing at White Beach, or even hiking through the hinterland.

There are a selection of affordable hotels and resorts in Puerto Galera, White Beach and Sabang.

The Malasimbo Festival coincides with peak season on the island and festival-goers should book accommodation early to secure their stay.
