Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu

Experience true coastal glam with a stay at this haven just off the island of Cebu. Sitting within a tropical paradise on Mactan Island, you can spend your days exploring 13 hectares of manicured gardens, snorkel and dive into pristine waters and come face-to-face with Cebu’s magnificent whale sharks.

With a serene onsite spa, private white-sand beach and two sparkling pools, there’s a spot for everyone to find their zen. Foodies will be spoiled for choice across four onsite restaurants, from Italian fare at Acqua to al-fresco grill and seafood at Cowrie Cove. For light bites and cocktails right on the beach, head to Breeze, or enjoy a live cultural show at the poolside Buko Bar.
