Aside from the airport, the Mactan Belmont is also just mere minutes away from the Angasil seaport. From there, you can take a ferry towards the neighboring island of Olango, which has some of the most beautiful beaches in the country, and possibly even the world.

Just staying in the Mactan Belmont Luxury Hotel will open up all sorts of unique and enjoyable destinations and experiences.

Speaking of idea tourist destinations, Mactan Belmont is just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Magellan’s Marker. This marker is a grim reminder of the ill fate of the famous explorer and conqueror Ferdinand Magellan. After he successfully converted many of the native tribes people of Cebu to Christianity, he travelled towards the island of Mactan. However, the chieftain, Lapu-lapu came to meet the Spaniard and made sure that he never left the shore of the island alive. Numerous efforts were made by the Spaniards to recover the bodies of those slain during that battle but they were all thwarted. To commemorate the location where Ferdinand Magellan died, a marker was placed in the same location where he fell.
