TOURIST ATTRACTIONS

SHANRI-LA


A lush garden retreat within a tropical paradise
Just a 20-minute drive from Mactan Cebu International Airport, Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa, Cebu is a lush garden retreat with an alluring oceanfront setting. Guests can savour beach-side luxe within its spacious 530 guest rooms and suites, along with enticing wining and dining options. 
The resort is a multi-faceted leisure destination providing a compelling mix of luxury relaxation and wellness, lively entertainment, and exciting 

LAPU-LAPU STATUE


Located near Magellan Bay, not too far from Mactan Airport, is the Lapu Lapu Statue.
This 20-meter tall bronze statue depicting a native hero who battled and defeated Spanish soldiers in 1521 is quite the impressive sight. The Battle of Mactan will forever be remembered via this statue which is an important symbol of perseverance and island patriotism for the people of Mactan.
Locals and tourists like to pose in front of the Lapu Lapu statue, trying to mimic the hero’s valiant stance. Afterwards, have a walk around the seaside for some fresh ocean air.

Magellan Shrine


Near the Magellan Port is, of course, the Magellan Shrine. This shrine pays tribute to Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese explorer who lost his life during the 1521 Battle of Magellan.
Magellan inflicted torture on the island of Mactan, even burning villages to the ground in attempts to threaten the native people and entice them to surrender control. You can see depictions of Magellan’s battle painted on the shrine showing violent fights taking place in the water.
If you’re wondering why Mactan would want to remember such a man, it’s because he brought Christianity to the now uber-religious island and for that, they honor him.


Olango Island



The Olango Island Group is a group of islands found in the Central Visayas region of the Philippines and is a part of Cebu Province. It comprises Olango island and 6 satellite islets namely: Sulpa, Gilutongan, Nalusuan, Caohagan, Pangan-an, and Camungi.
