Planning a trip to The Philippines and searching for an incredible Airbnb Cebu vacation rental? Well, look no further because I’ve put together the ultimate guide for the best Cebu Airbnb properties for the ultimate vacation experience!
The Philippines is a country situated in the western Pacific Ocean with 7,641 natural and beautiful islands. The country is geographically divided into three main islands: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. When visiting the Philippines, you can’t not visit Visayas and say the famous lines “I shall return!”
Cebu City is the capital of Visayas with 150 smaller surrounding islands and islets. The cosmopolitan city is full of energy and rich traditions. There is so much to do and experience in Cebu City – you can learn the history and its 16th-century Spanish colonial past, enjoy the nightlife with its famous bar and club scenes, or see the whole of the city on top of the observation deck in Mt. Busay.
Panorama of Cebu city. Cebu is the Philippines second most significant metropolitan centre and main domestic shipping port.
The people are friendly and hospitable, the food experience is a delight, transportation is fairly easy, the pristine beaches and the tourist spots are a favorite destination not just for foreign visitors but also for the locals. Planning your Cebu itinerary? I have a list and guide of Airbnb’s in Cebu City that offers awesome accommodations where you can stay and relax between all the city and island adventures!

The Best Things to do Near Cebu
Want to explore and experience activities outside Cebu? There’s so much to do and see outside Cebu City, like whale watching in Oslob, canyoneering in Kawasan, scuba diving and snorkeling in Moalboal. These three tours are my personal favorites to do outside Cebu City.
KAWASAN FALLS CANYONEERING
“Enjoy a combination of Badian’s most famous attractions on a guided tour. Scramble, climb, jump, rappel and swim through the rugged but scenic cliffs of Badian. Make a splash as you brave through jumping off towering cliffs as high as 30 feet!”

A paradise worth going through! Kudos! – Emilyn
