Plantation Bay Resort and Spa

Secluded on Mactan Island in Lapu-Lapu, about 20 minutes from Cebu City and roughly 12 km (7–8 mi) from Mactan–Cebu International Airport. The resort sits away from the bustle but is close to local spots such as Jpark Island Waterpark and nearby shopping malls — a family-friendly island escape with easy access to Cebu.

A 5-star, spread-out resort that evokes a Maldives/Bora-Bora island vibe with wide lagoons and open-air landscaping. Bright, simply furnished rooms (255 total) come with refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms with separate bathtubs and showers and deep soaking tubs, plus in-room conveniences like coffee/tea makers, safes and slippers. The property features half-hectare Japanese gardens around the spa and lots of outdoor space for a relaxed, casual atmosphere.

Four imaginative freshwater pools with water slides, mist caves, whirlpools, waterfalls and volcano fountains, plus 2.3 hectares of saltwater lagoons. Indoor and outdoor pools, a Thalassic pool at the spa, steam room and dry sauna. On-site activities include a fitness center, international-standard clay tennis court, mini-golf, diving club and games room, plus karaoke, ping-pong and a children’s playroom. Concierge and tour desk can arrange excursions, transfers and car rental. Enjoy a private beach and plentiful open-air spaces for sea-breeze mornings and sunset swims.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet across the property, a 24-hour business center, conference center and meeting rooms with event facilities. Roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge, free self-parking and express check-out for smooth group arrivals and departures.
