For many Filipinos, Holy Week is a time of deep spiritual reflection, solemn traditions, and cherished moments with family. In Cebu, the island’s natural beauty provides an ideal setting for both contemplation and relaxation.

From quiet beach walks to rejuvenating spa experiences, Holy Week in Cebu invites visitors to slow down and reconnect—with nature, with loved ones, and with themselves.

Bask in the serene shores of Bantayan’s powdery white sands or escape to the secluded coves of Camotes. Mactan Island offers scenic sunrise strolls, while the tranquil beaches of Malapascua provide a peaceful retreat for those seeking solitude.

Wellness takes center stage this season. Inspired by Cebu’s natural surroundings, indulge in therapeutic treatments ranging from relaxing massages at Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort to holistic rituals in the tropical paradise of Sumilon Island.

A sanctuary by the sea

Located less than an hour from the metro yet far from the city’s hustle, Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort—a luxury development of AppleOne Group—offers a luxurious beachfront escape for those looking to recharge and reflect.

After a day of spiritual observance, guests can retreat into serenity at Sheraton. The resort’s garden yoga sessions, exclusive to in-house guests, provide a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature and find inner peace amid lush greenery.

For a more indulgent experience, the Holy Week Wellness and Spa Package features locally inspired massage techniques blended with modern luxury, offering total relaxation and rejuvenation.

Celebrate Easter with joy and togetherness

Sheraton Cebu Mactan also hosts a vibrant, arcade-themed Easter Sunday celebration. Families can enjoy interactive games, live entertainment, and special discounts at the 5 Cien buffet—adding joyful moments to the reflective season.

“Sheraton is always open to offer a piece of paradise for meaningful moments—whether it’s for recollection, comfort, or creating memories with loved ones,” said Samantha Manigsaca, AppleOne vice president for hospitality. 

“Cebu is where Christianity is known to have started in the Philippines and Sheraton is one with Filipinos in these moments of reflection this Holy Week,” she added.

Through prayer, tradition, or quiet contemplation, Cebu offers a deeply meaningful journey of renewal during Holy Week. Complementing this spiritual atmosphere, Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort provides a tranquil haven where guests can unwind and reflect.

With its serene beachfront setting and thoughtfully curated Lenten and Easter offerings, the resort invites visitors to experience a season of peace, purpose, and heartfelt connection in the heart of Cebu.
