Immerse yourself in a world of diverse dining options and delightful shopping experiences, all of which can be found in the airport terminal. Travellers can also enjoy a soothing massage or conveniently access ATMs and currency exchange services.

The most convenient way to access downtown Cebu from the airport is by taxi as it takes approximately 30 minutes. Car rental and MyBus services are also available and will transport you to various destinations in and around the city centre.
The second-largest city in the Philippines, Cebu is a dynamic destination that seamlessly weaves together a tapestry of culture, history, and natural wonders.
Start your trip with a captivating journey through Cebu’s cultural hotspots, such as the esteemed Basilica del Santo Niño, the oldest Roman Catholic church in the country as it dates back to 1565. From there, head to Fort San Pedro, which houses a museum that provides intriguing insights into Cebu's rich Spanish heritage.
The city is also adorned with historical landmarks that offer an incredible glimpse into Cebu’s storied past. Among the most popular sites are Magellan's Cross, the Lapu-Lapu Monument, and the majestic Roman-style Temple of Leah. We also recommend visiting the 1730 Jesuit House, which is nestled within an operational warehouse compound of hardware supplies. Recently restored and transformed into a museum, it offers a fascinating window into Filipino-Hispanic life in the 18th century.
Cebu also boasts numerous breathtaking beaches, with Lambug Beach, White Beach, and Paradise Beach being some of the most frequented destinations as you can feel the velvety softness of the powder-like sand between your toes and jump into the crystal clear waters. Be sure to dive into Cebu’s vibrant underwater world as you will be surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colourful coral reefs teeming with marine life, such as sardines and the endangered whale shark, which is best seen from a distance.
Those looking to venture outside Cebu for the day can embark on an island-hopping adventure to its neighbouring isles. Indulge in the warm embrace of the sun on the pristine white sands of Caohagan and Nalusuan Islands, or immerse yourself in history as you hike to the iconic lighthouse perched atop Sumilon Island. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the bird-watching opportunities available on Olango Island, while adventure lovers should pay a visit to the Hilutungan Island Marine Sanctuary, just off the coast of Mactan Island, as it is the ideal destination for snorkelling.
Cathay Pacific brings the convenience of finding the best hotels to you. Discover a captivating selection of accommodations in Cebu, including the enchanting Costabella Tropical Beach Hotel, which is encompassed by swaying palm trees. Its vibrant lemon-yellow decor and terracotta roof create an inviting ambience, allowing you to marvel at breathtaking ocean sunrises and uninterrupted horizon views. If relaxation is your priority, enjoy pure bliss and tranquility at the Shangri-La Mactan, where the Chi Spa offers rejuvenating hilot massages, a traditional Filipino healing therapy enriched with oils derived from endemic plants. Book your stay at one of Cebu’s premier hotels today and redeem incredible rewards, such as room upgrades, access to lounge facilities, and additional miles on top of what you earn when travelling with Cathay Pacific.
Cebu's culinary landscape boasts an abundance of exceptional local and international dining establishments. Among the must-visit hotspots is Olio, an esteemed fine-dining restaurant renowned for its delicious dishes, featuring tender steaks and the freshest seafood. Enhance your dining experience by selecting a bottle from Olio's impressive wine collection, which perfectly complements your meal. We also recommend taking the time to explore Cebu’s local food scene and sample authentic delicacies such as the mouthwatering 'lechon' (roasted suckling pig), the flavourful 'kinilaw' (Filipino-style fish ceviche), and the hearty 'sinigang' (meat or seafood in sour broth).
