Nature
In line with our commitment to biodiversity conservation, we have launched Sanctuary, Shangri-La's Care for Nature Project.
At Shangri-La's Mactan Resort and Spa, Cebu, the Shangri-La Marine Sanctuary, officially established in 2007, spans six hectares from the resort's beachfront. It teems with over 160 species of fish, clams and coral.
The resort's management and staff participate in regular coastal clean-ups, dive clean-ups and coral recovery programs. Two ships were sunk to form artificial reefs and encourage coral and fish proliferation.
The Shangri-La Marine Sanctuary is maintained together with steward partners Amores Charities, Inc. and Scotty's Action Sports Network.
Resort Facilities
Beach
Our private beach cove and marine sanctuary is a delight for children and adults alike. It offers opportunities to simply relax or engage with the environment through diving programmes, fish feeding and other water activities.
When you need to recharge, head to Breeze for light snacks and refreshing drinks.
Pool
The resort offers two swimming pools amid 13 hectares of landscaped gardens. The Main Wing pool is home to the Aquaplay area and an exhilarating water slide, making it a favourite spot for children. Guests can also enjoy refreshments and drinks from the poolside Buko Bar.
The Ocean Wing pool is a relaxing oasis with an infinity edge that only Ocean Wing and suite guests can access (effective 15 November 2016).

The waters allow for all kinds of activities such as diving, snorkelling, kayaking, parasailing, windsurfing, sailing or deep-sea fishing. Flat seas guarantee ideal conditions for cruises and excursions.
