Almost everyone lives a hurried, stressful life: daily work routine, meeting deadlines, juggling a household and a career. Maybe everyone’s dream is to just get away from it all, to a place where there is peace and silence – no angry bosses, no lazy employees, no dirty dishes on the kitchen sink. If your mind and body are already scolding you to take a vacation, heed that call and head to Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort in Lapu-lapu City, Cebu.
At the Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort, you have plenty of time to do nothing and everything that pleases you. Loafing on the cool white sand of the 110-meter beach front gives you a feeling of floating on Cloud 9. Everything just feels so light and unhurried. You’ll find plenty of things to do inside the 5-hectare picturesque property – things you are deprived of in your daily 8-5 schedule – such as enjoying an intimate night on a 1.1 hectare private island, marveling on colorful corals in the protected marine sanctuaries and surrendering to an indulgent spa treatment. If you want to make the most out of your vacation, feel free to try a few of the activities offered at the Aquamania Water Sports. They offer windsurfing, wakeboarding, fishing, snorkeling, jet skiing, sailing, kayaking, banana boat rides and island-hopping. You may also take part in a once in a lifetime chance of feeding sharks right on the island’s marine lagoon. Phew, gets your adrenaline rushing just thinking about it, doesn’t it?
If you had to pick one among Maribago’s many assets, you’d have to say that their star player is their Amuma Spa. Amuma means pamper in Cebuano dialect. The Amuma Spa boasts of spa treatment packages that feature local ingredients and traditions. Their signature treatment, the Amuma Hilot, is an interesting hodgepodge of massage techniques from all around the country. Banana leaves are used in soothing weary muscles, accompanied by traditional rituals of pausok (mineral smoke and medicinal herbs are used to cleanse), dasal (prayer), and orasyon (invoking of spirits). After getting pampered, you may proceed to getting a deep slumber in your luxurious room or walk along the shore get enchanted by the night lights that surround the island.
It must be said that the food at Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort is as remarkable as everything that is offered in this heavenly sanctuary. Enjoy themed dinners every night on your stay. You are sure to look forward to what is going to be served to you next. The breakfast buffet ranges from the healthy to the scrumptious and the indulgent – perfect to fill you up for your day’s itinerary.
The hustle and bustle of daily living can be too much for anyone. Thankfully, there is Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort in Cebu Island, Philippines, a refuge, a reprieve, a piece of heaven on Earth.
