Cebu & Mactan, Philippines

Cebu pairs a lively, history-rich city — the cradle of Philippine Christianity, with Magellan's Cross and Fort San Pedro — with the resort island of Mactan, minutes from the international airport. Beachfront resorts line Punta Engaño and Maribago, offering private sands, marine sanctuaries, island-hopping to Hilutungan and Nalusuan, and easy escapes to whale sharks and waterfalls in the south of the island.
