Cebu Travel Guide — Restaurants, Hotels & Things To Do

Cebu is a major island province in the central Philippines, best known for its world-class diving, whale shark encounters, and lechon — the Philippines' signature roasted pig. Cebu City is the country's oldest city and serves as the economic hub of the Visayas, while Mactan Island (home to the international airport) hosts most beach resorts.

Beyond the city, Cebu rewards exploration: Moalboal and Malapascua are renowned dive destinations, Oslob is famous for gentle whale sharks, and Bantayan Island offers quiet white-sand beaches. Sinulog, the Cebu-based festival held every January, draws hundreds of thousands of visitors. Island Seeker covers hotels, restaurants, dive operators, beach clubs, and activities across Cebu and Mactan.
