Looking for a holiday destination with both fantastic sights and urban flair? You can’t go wrong with Cebu, a bustling metropolis with plenty of local attractions you can drive to. Others consider Manila as the place where every single vacation spot is just a drive away. While Cebu City proper comes with all the amenities a dyed-in-the-wool city slicker could ask for, nothing beats the pleasure of going out of town for some real rest and relaxation.

Here we’ve rounded up a handful of the coolest getaways near Cebu City, all of which you should make time for and check out on the next long weekend:
 Mactan Island

Some of the world’s top hotel and resort chains have planted their flags on Mactan Island, and for good reason. Located just across the Mactan Channel from Cebu City, Mactan Island is less than half an hour’s drive away via the Osmeña Bridge or the Marcelo-Fernan Bridge.

A majority of the island’s most attractive beaches and resorts are located up and down the west coast, and include the likes of the Shangri-La Mactan Resort & Spa, Movenpick Hotel, Crimson Resort & Spa, and Plantation Bay. Also recommended are watersport destinations such as Club Kontiki Beach Resort and Jpark Island Resort & Waterpark, both near Maribago Beach.

Sunscreen and the City: Daylong’s Advocacy Towards Every Day Sun Protection

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It has been almost a year since Daylong first introduced its campaign for daily, cellular sun protection, advocating that sunscreen should be part of everyday skincare regimen. The trusted makers of Cetaphil launched Daylong to provide clinically-proven protection against the sun, all the way to the cellular and DNA level. With a state-of-the-art formula that has a uniquely light texture and a smooth finish, this Swiss brand successfully conveys its message for daily, deep, and complete solar defense.

While the whole city bustles in preparation for summertime, and for days of basking under the beautiful sun on some of the most exquisite local beaches, Daylong has been working quietly – preparing for something bigger. 

Staying true to its commitment of caring for the skin, whether the sun is out or not, Daylong conducted a study to reveal that the sun exposure in the city has the same intensity as at the beach. Using sun sensors that can detect UV radiation, Daylong has shown that the UV radiation in the city of Manila reaches the same level as on the beaches of Boracay.
