    If you’re itching for some sand and sea, the resort’s private beachfront and marine sanctuary are just a few steps away from the establishment. 
    For the most exhilarating of adventures, guests may pick from a list of things to do in the ocean, such as catamaran sailing, banana boat rides, jet skiing, parasailing, kayaking, windsurfing, and many more! Scuba diving and snorkeling classes are also available, so whether you’re a beginner or an experienced ocean explorer, you’ll be free to explore what beauty lies beneath the serene waters of Mactan. 
    After lounging on the cove, the resort’s marine sanctuary is a worthy spot to explore, with 6 hectares of property filled with different species of coral, clams, and fish. It was built as part of Shangri-La's Care for Nature Project, an effort to conserve biodiversity and the surrounding environment.
