Wazzup Pilipinas!?
Breaking New Ground in Philippine Tourism
On February 3, 2025, Dusit International and Grand Land Inc. officially broke ground on ASAI Cebu Oslob, the first ASAI resort in the Philippines. This highly anticipated development is set to open in late 2026, marking the ASAI brand’s expansion into the country and its first beachfront property.
Strategically located in Barangay Lagunde, Oslob, a destination famed for whale shark encounters, pristine beaches, and vibrant marine life, ASAI Cebu Oslob is poised to redefine the hospitality scene by integrating modern design, sustainability, and immersive local experiences.
A Resort Designed for the Modern Traveler
True to ASAI Hotels’ experience-driven philosophy, the 98-room resort will cater to millennial-minded travelers who value authentic local experiences and social connections. Key features include:
Compact yet functional rooms with private balconies offering ocean or pool views
A signature Eat/Work/Play communal space, blending dining, socialization, and remote work
A stylish beachfront bar serving craft cocktails and local brews
A pool with panoramic ocean views
A locally inspired dining experience, showcasing Cebuano cuisine
Beyond its amenities, ASAI Cebu Oslob will embody ASAI Hotels’ “Live Local” concept, with dedicated community ambassadors curating personalized itineraries that highlight hidden gems—from secret snorkeling spots to cultural heritage sites.
The Economic and Tourism Impact
The project is expected to boost Oslob’s tourism industry, generate local employment, and contribute to sustainable tourism. Ryan Bernard Go, President of Grand Land Inc., emphasized that the collaboration with Dusit International will not only introduce world-class hospitality but also honor local traditions and community connections.
Dusit’s Growing Footprint in the Philippines
ASAI Cebu Oslob is a milestone in Dusit International’s expansion strategy in the Philippines. The company already operates:

Additionally, Grand Land Inc. is developing a Dusit Princess property in Cebu’s North Reclamation Area, further strengthening their partnership.
ASAI Hotels’ Global Growth
Apart from the Philippines, ASAI Hotels is expanding internationally with upcoming properties in Malaysia (ASAI Gamuda Cove, opening 2026) and Thailand (ASAI Hat Yai, opening 2028).
A New Chapter for Oslob Tourism
With ASAI Cebu Oslob’s commitment to sustainability, cultural integration, and modern hospitality, Oslob is set to become an even more attractive destination for both local and international travelers.
As the resort gears up for its grand opening in 2026, it promises to offer a unique blend of adventure, relaxation, and meaningful connections, all while embracing the beauty and heritage of Oslob, Cebu.
