For any destination beyond the airport, you should allow extra travel time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"unterkunftstipps-mactan-island\">Where to stay on Mactan Island<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to relax for your first days on Mactan Island, the area around <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/en\/maribago-beach-mactan-island\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maribago Beach<\/a><\/strong> is especially appealing. That\u2019s also where you\u2019ll find the nicest resorts on Mactan Island, with direct beach access. Although the hotels right on Maribago Beach aren\u2019t the cheapest, it\u2019s definitely worth staying here for the first few days and really unwinding. We\u2019ll now introduce you to our three favorite hotels on Mactan Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bluewater-maribago-beach-resort-unsere-empfehlung\">Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort \u2013 our recommendation!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bluewater Resort Maribago Beach is a stunning resort that stretches along picturesque Maribago Bay. This idyllic retreat offers a perfect mix of luxury and natural beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resort grounds are surrounded by lush gardens and palm trees. The rooms and villas at Bluewater Resort Maribago Beach are elegantly designed and offer first-class comfort with modern amenities. Guests can look forward to private balconies or terraces with a breathtaking view of the azure sea or the lush gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resort has a wide range of leisure facilities, including several pools, a wellness center, and water sports for the more adventurous. A <strong>dive center<\/strong> is also located right at Bluewater Resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>access to the sandy beach<\/strong> is quick and easy, right through the resort. Just offshore is Alegrado Island, a <strong>small private island<\/strong> that belongs to Bluewater Resort. You can relax on the island during the day; in the evening, tables are occasionally set up so you can eat on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re longing for relaxation on the beach, looking for adventure, or simply want to enjoy the tropical surroundings \u2013 Bluewater Resort Maribago Beach is the perfect place to discover the beauty of Mactan Island and make unforgettable memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-53dad781     \"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<iframe\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Bluewater%20Resort%20Mactan&#038;z=15&#038;hl=en&#038;t=m&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"150\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> $$$$<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stars:<\/strong> 4-star<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Maribago Beach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swimming pool &amp; beach access:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Book:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/bluewater-resort-ph-booking-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Booking<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/bluewater-resort-ph-agoda-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agoda<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/bluewater-resort-ph-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cebu101 price comparison<\/a>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/tp.media\/content?currency=usd&#038;trs=276673&#038;shmarker=495120.mactan-guide&#038;host=booking.cebu101.com%2Fhotels&#038;locale=en&#038;hotel_id=389051&#038;nobooking=true&#038;powered_by=false&#038;width=940&#038;primary=%230cc0df&#038;special=%23e0e0e0&#038;promo_id=4063&#038;campaign_id=101\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cebu-white-sands-resort\">Cebu White Sands Resort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cebu White Sands Resort is a spacious resort with a great pool area and <strong>direct beach access<\/strong> to Maribago Beach. The stretch of beach isn\u2019t quite as nice as at Bluewater Resort, but the rooms at White Sands are significantly cheaper. The small rooftop bar, which offers a great view, is also recommended. Overall, Cebu White Sands Resort is a really nice property with direct access to the sandy beach and a generous pool at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-1a8ff962     \"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<iframe\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Cebu%20White%20Sands&#038;z=14&#038;hl=en&#038;t=m&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"150\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> $$$<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stars:<\/strong> 4-star<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Maribago Beach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swimming pool &amp; beach access:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Book:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/cebu-white-sands-booking-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Booking<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/cebu-white-sands-agoda-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agoda<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/booking.cebu101.com\/hotels?=1&amp;adults=2&amp;checkIn=2024-02-29&amp;checkOut=2024-03-07&amp;children=&amp;cityId=30139&amp;currency=usd&amp;destination=Cebu+White+Sands+Resort+and+Spa&amp;hotelId=529710\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cebu101 price comparison<\/a>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/tp.media\/content?currency=usd&#038;trs=276673&#038;shmarker=495120.mactan-guide&#038;host=booking.cebu101.com%2Fhotels&#038;locale=en&#038;hotel_id=529710&#038;nobooking=true&#038;powered_by=false&#038;width=940&#038;primary=%230cc0df&#038;special=%23e0e0e0&#038;promo_id=4063&#038;campaign_id=101\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"egi-resort\">EGI Resort (also listed under RedDoorz)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EGI Resort is especially suitable for budget-conscious travelers. Although it can\u2019t compete with the resorts mentioned above, EGI is a good option if you\u2019re <strong>on a budget<\/strong> and used to typical Southeast Asian conditions. The large and <strong>attractive pool area<\/strong> is the biggest plus of EGI Resort. You can go straight to the sea from there, but unfortunately you won\u2019t find a sandy beach, only paving stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rooms are solidly furnished and a little dated. But if you know the \u201csimpler\u201d conditions in Southeast Asia, you shouldn\u2019t have a major problem here. Depending on the room type, there\u2019s also a beautiful <strong>balcony with a sea view<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, EGI Resort, at \u20ac40\u201360 per night, isn\u2019t all that expensive either, and is therefore a solid alternative to the other two top resorts on Maribago Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-6c3389af     \"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<iframe\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=EGI%20Resort%20Cebu&#038;z=14&#038;hl=en&#038;t=m&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"150\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> $<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stars:<\/strong> 3-star<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Maribago Beach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swimming pool &amp; beach access:<\/strong> Large pool and direct access to the sea, but NO sandy beach!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Book:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/egi-resort-agoda-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agoda<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/booking.cebu101.com\/hotels?=1&amp;adults=2&amp;checkIn=2024-02-29&amp;checkOut=2024-03-07&amp;children=&amp;cityId=30139&amp;currency=usd&amp;destination=EGI+Resort+and+Hotel&amp;hotelId=389053\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cebu101 price comparison<\/a>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/tp.media\/content?currency=usd&#038;trs=276673&#038;shmarker=495120.mactan-guide&#038;host=booking.cebu101.com%2Fhotels&#038;locale=en&#038;hotel_id=389053&#038;nobooking=true&#038;powered_by=false&#038;width=940&#038;primary=%230cc0df&#038;special=%23e0e0e0&#038;promo_id=4063&#038;campaign_id=101\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> From the airport to the accommodations you can get there in around 15\u201325 minutes by taxi.

Besides the beaches and offshore islands around Mactan, there are also quite a few places on the island itself that are well suited to a full day of sightseeing. We\u2019ve briefly summarized the best things to do and see on Mactan Island for you here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lapu-lapu-monument\">Lapu-Lapu Monument<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lapu-Lapu Monument on Mactan Island is an impressive homage to a local hero and a compelling site of Philippine history. The monument rises majestically to honor the brave leader who, in 1521 at the Battle of Mactan, defeated the first European explorers, led by Ferdinand Magellan. The imposing bronze statue of Lapu-Lapu, the former local ruler, embodies resistance and national pride. There are two Lapu-Lapu monuments on Mactan Island in total.

This national shrine is dedicated to Our Lady of Rule (Virgen de la Regla), a highly venerated Marian image. The history of the shrine goes back to the Spanish colonial period, when the image of the Virgen de la Regla was brought to Mactan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shrine is a draw for pilgrims and believers from the region and beyond. Visitors have the opportunity to take part in religious ceremonies and celebrations and, in doing so, experience the deep connection between faith and culture in the Philippines. The Virgen de la Regla National Shrine is not only a place of prayer but also a cultural jewel that embodies the rich history and spirituality of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6af72416b010e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6af72416b010e\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Virgen-dela-Regla-Mactan-Island-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The Virgen de la Regla church in Lapu-Lapu on Mactan Island\" class=\"wp-image-13052\" title=\"Virgen de la Regla Mactan Island Cebu\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Virgen-dela-Regla-Mactan-Island-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Virgen-dela-Regla-Mactan-Island-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Virgen-dela-Regla-Mactan-Island-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Virgen-dela-Regla-Mactan-Island-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Virgen-dela-Regla-Mactan-Island-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Virgen-dela-Regla-Mactan-Island-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Virgen-dela-Regla-Mactan-Island-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Virgen-dela-Regla-Mactan-Island.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-4b662707     \"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<iframe\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Virgen%20dela%20Regla&#038;z=12&#038;hl=en&#038;t=m&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"150\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strande-mactan-island\">Beaches on Mactan Island<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mactan Island has a number of decent beaches that are especially worthwhile for a quick beach trip from <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/en\/ort\/cebu-city-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cebu City<\/a>. There are also some beautiful offshore islands around Mactan Island that are great for snorkeling, swimming, and even diving. The islands can be reached quickly from the beaches on the east coast with a hired boat. You can hire a local boatman or join guided group trips, which are also offered at the resorts around Maribago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"maribago-beach\">Maribago Beach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/en\/maribago-beach-mactan-island\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maribago Beach<\/a> is, together with Shangri-La Beach, one of the <strong>most beautiful beaches<\/strong> on Mactan Island. Unfortunately, Maribago Beach is a private beach that can only be entered with a day pass at Bluewater Resort. Hotel guests, of course, get free access to Maribago Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The admission fee for Bluewater Maribago Beach is 1,600 PHP per person on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. That includes access to the beach, use of the swimming pool, and 1,600 PHP credit to spend at the restaurant or participation in the buffet. Booking is currently <strong>only possible on site as a walk-in<\/strong>. On weekends an additional 1,000 PHP per person is charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, there is a <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/bluewater-resort-beach-eintritt-ticketz-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">day pass via Klook<\/a>*, which includes access to the beach and swimming pool plus a free lunch buffet at the Allegro Restaurant. When booking via Klook you can, depending on the exchange rate, save a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, a visit to Maribago Beach isn\u2019t a cheap outing, but in return you get access to one of the most beautiful beaches in the immediate vicinity of Cebu City. Compared with European beach prices, the day-pass package is, in our view, perfectly reasonable. You get a lounger, a nice beach, access to the pool, and complimentary food included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;galleryId&quot;:&quot;6af72416b551c&quot;}\"

Admission here isn\u2019t free either, but it\u2019s cheaper than at the two resort beaches above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s special about Mactan Newtown Beach is the longer opening hours, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. On weekends the admission prices are slightly higher, but we recommend coming on a weekday anyway, because it\u2019s much more relaxed then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: <\/strong>The admission prices are not final.

Newtown Beach (formerly Portofino) is now a sterile and boring beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"banban-beach\">Banban Beach (also Marigondon Beach)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/en\/marigondon-beach-mactan-island\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9029\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Banban Beach<\/a> is a genuine local beach and sits right next to Vano Public Beach. The narrow strip of sand isn\u2019t really clean and is often overcrowded. The water isn\u2019t exactly inviting either. At least Banban Beach has no admission fee, but if you want to sit in any kind of comfort, you have to rent a table \/ cottage for 200 or 500 PHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banban Beach is a good starting point for the offshore islands and for snorkeling trips, because countless boats are moored around Marigondon Port. Boats with a driver can be hired spontaneously on site, depending on your bargaining skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, Banban or Marigondon Beach is fine if you simply want free access to the sea or are planning a boat trip, but all the beaches mentioned above are clearly nicer. To be honest, though, we wouldn\u2019t really go swimming at Marigondon Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6af72416cb91e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6af72416cb91e\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Marigondon-Beach-Banban-Beach-Cebu-Mactan-Island.jpg\" alt=\"Marigondon Beach and Banban Beach on Mactan Island, Cebu\" class=\"wp-image-12950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Marigondon-Beach-Banban-Beach-Cebu-Mactan-Island.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Marigondon-Beach-Banban-Beach-Cebu-Mactan-Island-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Marigondon-Beach-Banban-Beach-Cebu-Mactan-Island-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Marigondon-Beach-Banban-Beach-Cebu-Mactan-Island-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Marigondon-Beach-Banban-Beach-Cebu-Mactan-Island-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Marigondon-Beach-Banban-Beach-Cebu-Mactan-Island-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Marigondon-Beach-Banban-Beach-Cebu-Mactan-Island-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Marigondon-Beach-Banban-Beach-Cebu-Mactan-Island-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-bce8cbbe     \"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<iframe\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Banban%20Beach%20Mactan&#038;z=14&#038;hl=en&#038;t=m&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"150\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vano-public-beach\">Vano Public Beach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/en\/vano-beach-mactan-island\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9495\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vano Public Beach<\/a> is definitely not the most beautiful beach on Mactan Island, but it\u2019s clearly better than the neighboring Banban \/ Marigondon Beach. Vano Beach is a typical Filipino local beach that\u2019s popular for barbecues and relaxing. From here you can also easily book boat tours for snorkeling and the offshore islands. Admission, to our latest knowledge, costs 100 PHP per person. Extras such as a cabana have to be paid for separately. Vano Beach is right next to Banban Beach and is, for us, the better choice. The water appears clear and clean, and the stretch of beach is cleaned regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6af72416ce61e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6af72416ce61e\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vano-Beach-Mactan-Island-Cebu.jpg\" alt=\"Vano Beach on Mactan Island, Cebu\" class=\"wp-image-12947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vano-Beach-Mactan-Island-Cebu.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vano-Beach-Mactan-Island-Cebu-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vano-Beach-Mactan-Island-Cebu-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vano-Beach-Mactan-Island-Cebu-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vano-Beach-Mactan-Island-Cebu-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vano-Beach-Mactan-Island-Cebu-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vano-Beach-Mactan-Island-Cebu-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vano-Beach-Mactan-Island-Cebu-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-e590291d     \"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<iframe\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Vano%20Public%20Beach%20Mactan&#038;z=14&#038;hl=en&#038;t=m&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"150\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"katano-hidden-beach\">Katano Hidden Beach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A small, hidden beach that can only be reached on foot via a bridge through the lagoon.
