Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu has established itself as one of the Philippines’ most beloved resort destinations. Set on the lush shores of Mactan Island, the resort radiates a distinct sense of place—where Filipino warmth meets refined island living. Its architecture, influenced by local design traditions, blends harmoniously with tropical gardens and ocean views.
The resort has <a href="https://www.shangri-la.com/cebu/mactanresort/rooms-suites/?DestinAsian">541 rooms and suites</a>, which split between the Main Wing and the exclusive Ocean Wing, where panoramic sea views meet interiors that celebrate Filipino craftsmanship—capiz shell accents, handwoven rattan, polished teakwood, and mother-of-pearl inlays.
ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN
The late Francisco Mañosa, revered for championing Filipino identity through design, envisioned Shangri-La Mactan as a living tribute to Philippine vernacular architecture. The resort’s roofs evoke the sloping silhouettes of bahay kubo, while the stone structures echo colonial bahay na bato. Set within lush gardens, the buildings were designed to harmonize with the tropical landscape, not overpower it. Every detail from materials to spatial flow was conceived with local tradition in mind.
