Cebu White Sands Resort and Spa in Cebu: A Relaxed Beachfront Escape
Cebu White Sands Resort and Spa is a modest beachfront resort located on the east coast of Mactan Island in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. What began as a simple day-use destination with coastal cottages has evolved into a full-service property, now offering 86 guest rooms across three main wings, each designed to suit different types of travelers.

At the core of the resort is Anahata Spa, a wellness sanctuary inspired by Boracay’s award-winning Mandala Spa. Its therapists undergo rigorous training under a former Mandala Spa consultant, ensuring consistent service quality. Signature treatments include the Anahata Signature Massage, exclusive to the spa, and the traditional Hilot, a deep-tissue Filipino massage rooted in pre-colonial healing practices.
The resort emphasizes a home-like atmosphere grounded in Filipino hospitality, supported by a team of long-serving staff who contribute to a warm and personalized guest experience.
