A beachfront Cebu resort 20 minutes from the airport, with pool villas and beach ceremonies.
The Setting
Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan sits on Mactan Island, right next to Cebu City and about 20 minutes from Mactan airport. There are 290 rooms in all: 250 guest rooms and 40 villas with their own plunge pools and sea views.
The heart of the resort is a three-tiered infinity pool falling through the central courtyard down towards a private beach. That mix of big-resort facilities and a short airport transfer makes it an easy choice for a larger guest list.
The day itself
Crimson presents the resort as a beachfront wedding venue for seaside ceremonies, and also offers an Intimate Weddings package for couples who want only family and close friends there.
For the meal there is real choice. Enye by Chele Gonzalez, Kalma, Aka, Saffron Cafe, the Azure Beach Club and the Crimzone pool bar give options for a welcome night, the reception and a farewell lunch. The venue tells us it hosts weddings of 30 to 200 guests. Ask the team about ceremony spots on the beach and in the gardens, curfew and how a legal ceremony works for UK couples.
Where your guests stay
With 290 rooms and villas, most guest lists can stay on site, and the pool villas suit the couple and close family. Ask the team about room blocks.
Between events there is the Aum Spa with 14 treatment rooms, an infinity pool, a second pool, a fitness centre and Crimzone, a supervised space for children, which helps if little ones are coming. Mactan-Cebu International Airport is about 20 minutes away, so guests can land and be at the beach quickly.
Book one of the 40 pool villas for the wedding morning. Getting ready with a private plunge pool and sea views beats a hotel room, and the beach is a short walk away.
