Plantation Bay a Real Resort with a Real Spa
Plantation Bay offers a unique resort experience with spacious rooms, extensive leisure activities, a dedicated spa, and a commitment to peace and quiet.
Escape to Plantation Bay, a resort designed like a charming village, where most accommodations offer direct access to a private lagoon and artificial beaches. Experience a soothing, low-rise architectural style and discover comfortable, well-appointed, and spacious rooms, each spanning 46 square meters (490 square feet). Enjoy elegant bathrooms featuring separate tubs and showers, along with ample counter space. Choose between romantic King 4-Poster beds in some rooms or practical two Queen beds in others.
Located just 30 minutes from the airport and Cebu City, Plantation Bay boasts an impressive array of leisure activities. Guests can enjoy marine adventures, scuba diving at nearby sites (or a 15-minute boat ride away), island cruises, and picnics. On land, activities include wall-climbing, archery, tennis, pickleball, badminton, an Arcade Game Room, and a fully equipped gym. Younger guests can participate in the Children’s Boot Camp and daily activities. Explore the Botanical Tour, join a Bird-watching guide, or enjoy golf at a nearby course. Shopping, malls, and gaming are also within a 20-minute drive, and whale shark watching excursions are available for a full day of adventure.
Plantation Bay provides exceptional space per guest, with 11 hectares (28 acres) for just 255 rooms. The resort features four large freshwater swimming pools and 2.3 hectares (6 acres) of saltwater lagoon, ensuring a relaxing experience without crowds. The resort's layout is designed to allow responsible older children to explore safely on their own.
Within the resort, indulge in a superb Japanese-inspired spa, offering a serene escape. Enjoy hot, cold, and saltwater pools, a needle-shower, waterfall, sauna, steam-bath, as well as manicure, hair-trimming, and a full range of therapies.
Dining options abound with four distinctive restaurants. Savor Asian-Seafood by the sea, with options for indoor or al fresco dining. Experience elegant Mediterranean-Steak in a stunning Art Nouveau setting, or enjoy authentic American fare at the American Diner. A fresh-air International coffee shop, surrounded by the main swimming pool and saltwater lagoon, offers another delightful culinary option. Each restaurant presents superb dishes crafted for an unforgettable dining experience.
Plantation Bay is dedicated to ensuring peace and quiet for all guests. To maintain this tranquil atmosphere, telephone conversations and audible electronics are strictly prohibited in the gym, spa, and most dining venues. Guests are requested to ensure children do not disturb others with excessive noise. Please note that the resort upholds its policies, and guests seeking a serene, relaxing break will find Plantation Bay to be an ideal choice. It is important to note that the hotel provides mattresses for extra bedding. Additionally, there is a P500 corkage fee for each 6-liter bag of takeout food brought onto the property, collected in cash by security personnel at the gate.
