Holiday In Lapu Lapu

Looking for a getaway destination so nice they named it twice? Well, pack your togs for a sweet-as holiday in Lapu-Lapu, Philippines.

With a historic namesake and primo location in the Central Visayas Islands, this seaside escape will test your bravery with gravity-defying water sports and reward you with peaceful beach days and an easygoing nightlife. And when you’re craving more get-up-and-go, you’ll be a short boat float away from the museums and gardens of Cebu City. Ready to slow down fast? Book lovely Lapu-Lapu package deals and tap into the island life!

Things to Do in Lapu-Lapu

Start off by picking up one of our awesome Lapu-Lapu car rental deals, so you can cruise the highway with the windows down and the Sula Sea breeze in your hair. Start your adventure on Matcan Island at the Lapu-Lapu Statue, located in the curve of Magellan Bay—the view may be super peaceful, but the history around this man is revolutionary! When you’re ready for some beach-hopping, take the scenic route through quiet resort-lined streets on the east coast of the island. Want some gosh-darn peace and quiet? Catch a ferry to Olango Island to stretch out on the sand or parasail across the water! You can bring your pulse back to normal at the Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary near the ferry port and get up close and personal with colourful coral and sea creatures on a snorkelling trip. Later, clean up for some swanky-arse shopping. You’ll be extra glad you found cheap holidays to Lapu-Lapu with lastminute.com.au, because you’re going to want to spend all that money you saved!

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

If you wanna shop till you drop, just roll along M L Quezon National Highway between S Osmeña Street and Mustang Road to hit all the major malls on the island in one swoop. Good thing you’re about to save big with a Lapu-Lapu package #amirite. For a morning spent indulging your foodie side, take a short trip across the bridge to Taboan Public Market in Cebu City. You’ll find delicious snacks and fresh seafood and produce in an open-air setting.

In Laup-Lapu, go global. Stuff your face with dumplings in dim sum restaurants, chow down on Korean barbecue or devour Filipino pizza one slice at a time. Looking for a signature Filipino dish? Try the adobo. This marinated dish comes in many forms—be it beef, pork, chicken or fish, even veggie—and it’s the spicy, smoky and tangy answer to Western barbecue. Eat up!

If you want to bust some moves on the dance floor, hustle back to Cebu City or plan ahead with one of our Manila holiday packages and catch a commuter flight to the Filipino capital. But for a fun night of island culture in the town where Lapu-Lapu made his stand for the indigenous people, learn about traditional dances and cuisine and the Jungle Cultural Entertainment Center.
