Dream Tropical Homes

It’s time to #StartLiving in The Residences at Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort, a place in which to holiday, settle, or retire in one of the Philippines’ most scenic island destinations

Cebu continues to make its mark as a tourism hub as the Philippines opens its beautiful archipelago anew to international travellers. In 2022, the province ushered in over 544,000 foreign tourists and 2.21 million tourists, forging a way forward to recovery from the pandemic, according to official figures.

Cebu has also made a splash as a viable retirement destination where the cost of living is low enough for people of a certain age to seek better value for their money. Prospective retirees can easily establish themselves in the locale, with most Cebuanos able to communicate in English. Most goods and conveniences are within easy reach from Cebu, the capital of the same name being a historically important economic centre and port city.

The core lure of Cebu lies in its scenic beauty. The province has a nearly 514-kilometre-long coastline, harbouring pristine beaches coveted by snowbirds and lovers of tropical climes worldwide. Beaches on mainland Cebu and its surrounding isles have appeared time and again in bestof lists on international publications.

Award-winning Cebu homes

Travelers and retirees enter Cebu province through its historic gateway: the island of Mactan. Home to busy Mactan-Cebu International Airport, Mactan witnessed the arrival of the first Spanish explorers in the Philippines.

Centuries later, some of the world’s most recognisable hospitality brands have made their own expeditions to the island, no doubt attracted to its natural appeal and central location. In 2016, Mactan was chosen as the home of the first Sheraton-branded residences in Southeast Asia.

An award-winning development by AppleOne Mactan, The Residences at Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort seamlessly integrates a holiday destination with luxurious residential spaces. The 44,000-square-metre property is conveniently set adjacent to Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort, the first Marriott-branded resort in the Philippines.

A property development titan in Cebu, AppleOne developed such landmark projects in the province as AppleOne Equicom Tower, AppleOne Banawa Heights, and Mahi Center.

“Through our luxury developments, and our commitment to levelling Cebu to be at par with global standards, we hope to contribute to its allure as a smart city destination for tourists and locals,” says AppleOne vice-president for marketing Javier Marcalain.

firm Blink Design Group took inspiration from these aweinspiring littoral landscapes to deck the residential towers and villas in plush materials like natural stone, marble, luxurious fabrics, rattan, and wood.

Every Courtyard Villa comes with its own private plunge pool while an expansive lagoon pool completes the premium resort experience for the community.
