Cebu has always been a hopping destination for people who seek the tranquility of the sea. The challenge is finding a place where one can rest in repose, away from the never-ending buzz of the metropolis.

Luxury and exclusivity come together in a little piece of paradise located at the northern tip of Cebu. Kandaya Resort is a 7.5-hectare property in the midst of a secluded stretch of beach bordering the Visayan sea.

At Kandaya, one can take a pick from the 18 contemporary-styled rooms and suites overlooking the infinity pool and the sea, and the 22 secluded garden, beach, and ocean pool villas. After settling in, it’s a good time to explore the different amenities and activities that the resort has to offer.

One can go on an adventure by hopping on a jet ski or a kayak. Meanwhile, for a more relaxed sea trip, a cruise across the Visayan sea to the renowned Malapascua Island, carried by an outrigger boat furnished with beanbags, is a good way to go. If one wishes to stay dry, then horseback riding is a great alternative. Fitness buffs won’t have to miss their regimen because Kandaya has a fully-eqipped gym, a yoga studio, and a mixed martial arts centre where one can sweat out vacation calories.

However, when it comes to the ultimate relaxation experience, nothing beats a day at the spa. Daya Spa offers services ranging from full body massage, facial treatments, to slimming body scrub.

Adventures of the epicurean kind can also be had at Kandaya Resort's Kusina restaurant, which offers farm-to-table selections. Each dish in the menu, which consists of Asian and Western food offerings, is carefully crafted using locally sourced ingredients and freshly picked in-house produce.

A stay at Kandaya Resort is never complete without witnessing the sunset on the endless horizon. On the shore are couches where one can lounge in to watch the breathtaking view of the Visayan seascape over glasses of bubbly.
