Celebrate love at Shangri-La’s Mactan resort and spa

CEBU, Philippines - On Valentine’s Day, celebrate true love in the truly exquisite setting of Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa.

Dine at the resort’s award-winning restaurants, which have been named some of the Philippines’ best by the Philippine Tatler. Indulge in a chocolate buffet at Tides, or in three-course menus especially crafted for the occasion at Acqua and Cowrie Cove.

Couples who wish to take advantage of the resort’s extensive grounds and picturesque locations may opt for the al fresco enchantment of poolside and seaside tables; the privacy of cabanas overlooking the beach; or the nautical charm of the boat jetty.

For one-of-a-kind experiences, there is the starlit romance of Paradise Island, or the seaside dining pavilions, Gazebo and Observatory. All three venues offer luxurious intimacy and sweeping views of the Mactan Channel.

In addition to gourmet creations by the team of chefs and the signature Shangri-La service, the resort also takes care of little extras, such as wine and flowers, to ensure a memorable evening for two. (FREEMAN)
