Looking for beachfront rentals in Cebu? Costa Medellin might just be the one
Located a little more than three hours away from the heart of Cebu City, this beachfront property has all the peace and quiet you'd want—well, as much peace and quiet you can get with up to nine other people around. Whatever the case, this rental is at just the right point in space to put enough distance between yourself and whatever it is you’re dreading in the Metro. (Looking at you, RTO.) And yes, you can bring your pets, too. Paw-mily means nobody gets left behind.
The spacious house makes use of polished concrete and wooden panels to give it that Pinterest picture-perfect vibe—think a pared down Kelly Wearstler. The rental comes complete with a fully equipped kitchen (no corkage fee), a lounge pool, and the number one spot, a deck that faces the beach. Bring out your inner Nadine Lustre for all the pics you'd be taking. Just don't forget to savor the moment either. As Medellin is on the west of Cebu, this is the place to catch the sunset. Lounge on the bean bags and wait for time to pass, as signalled by the sun dipping its fiery toes into the sea before fully submerging.
As for sleeping arrangements, there are three rooms to crash in after a chill night. The master’s bedroom has one king bed; the junior suite has one queen bed and one twin bed; and the dorm room has two double and four twin beds. Rates are P10,000 per night, minimum of two nights.
In case you’re already feeling antsy thinking of all the free time you’ll have, “There are a few restaurants nearby that have pretty good food—plus some of them even offer delivery services. And there are many boats in the area that you can rent out to take you across or even to Malapascua Island,” says Donique Sybico of Costa Medellin.
Costa Medellin is at Barangay Maghawak, Medellin, Cebu. Rates start at P10,000, minimum of two nights. For more information, visit their Instagram page or for bookings, email costamedellin.ph@gmail.com.
