Cebu Resort One-Day Itinerary – From Breakfast to Massage and Night Market, A Heavenly Day!

The true purpose of travel is "doing nothing and just relaxing."
Cebu is the perfect destination for that.
Start your morning with a leisurely breakfast at the resort,
spend the afternoon by the sea, and enjoy a massage and night market in the evening!
Even in just one day, you can achieve 100% relaxation 😊

📍 Quick Overview of the Itinerary
Resort Breakfast → Private Beach Swimming → Island Hopping Tour → Massage → Night Market Stroll

1. 🥐 Start the Day Leisurely with Resort Breakfast
Around 8 AM,
I began the day with a hearty breakfast at a resort in Mactan, Cebu.
• A variety of options including fruits, omelets, pancakes, yogurt, and fried rice
• The best part was the view of the sea beyond the palm trees
• Sipping coffee leisurely while pondering "What should I do today?"
• This moment is truly the best time in Cebu 💛

📌 Tip: Breakfast hours are from 6 to 10 AM, and the view is most beautiful just before sunrise.

2. 🌴 Relaxing at the Resort's Private Beach
After breakfast, I changed into my swimsuit and headed to the private beach!
• A combination of infinity pool, white sand, and blue sea
• Lying on a beach chair, applying sunscreen, and flipping through a book 🏖
• You can rent snorkeling gear and play in the sea right in front of you
• Feeling too hot? Order a cocktail by the poolside!

"A day where you truly don’t have to do anything." That’s the charm of Cebu.

3. 🛥 Island Hopping Tour – A Little Paradise on the Sea
In the afternoon, I joined an island hopping tour.
Usually held between 10 AM and 3 PM.
• Travel by boat to emerald-green islands like Nalusuan and Hilutungan
• Snorkeling to find Nemo 🐠
• Enjoy a BBQ lunch on the boat
• With a can of beer, sunscreen, and the sea breeze, there’s nothing to envy in the world!

📌 Tip: Sunscreen is a must! Don’t forget a waterproof camera or phone pouch!

4. 💆 Relaxing Massage to Unwind
After the island hopping tour, I returned to the resort
and had a relaxing time at the spa with a massage reservation.
• Experienced the traditional Filipino Hilot massage
• It was refreshing yet gentle, melting away all fatigue
• The added aroma scent made me feel like my soul was melting 🕯

"This is true healing..."

5. 🌙 Night Market Stroll & Late-Night Snacks
In the evening, I visited a nearby night market or local night bazaar.
• Various BBQ skewers, mango juice, roasted corn, and beer
• Affordable prices and an authentic local vibe!
• Browsed souvenirs and did some light shopping
• Immersed in the sights, food aromas, and music of the night 🌃

📌 Night market locations vary between Mactan Island and Cebu City. Check near your accommodation!
