Live, work, and connect at lyf

- By Angelica Villanueva

WHEN the pandemic hit us, one of the great things it taught us was quickly adapting to work remotely – that a work-from-home setup was indeed possible. With the right and fast Internet connection, together with your laptop or iPad, you’re good to go.

In fact, this has been practiced even before COVID-19 existed by most people who do freelancin­g. But four years later after the pandemic began,

more people tried to embrace this.

The rise of remote work helped people to do leisure travel without affecting their work. Travelers look for accommodat­ion that can cater to both productivi­ty and comfort. Enter hotels with co-working spaces – a hospitalit­y trend offering the best of both worlds.

Nestled in the heart of Cebu City, experience-led social living space lyf Cebu offers a vibrant mix of work and leisure options. It’s a short walk from Fuente Osmena Park and provides

easy access to public transporta­tion, making it ideal for exploring the city.

“lyf Cebu City is not merely a space; it’s a dynamic, vibrant lifestyle that we’re bringing to Cebu for the very first time. We are thrilled to bridge the gap between local warmth and internatio­nal co-living innovation here in Visayas and Mindanao as the first internatio­nal co-living serviced residence,” said Rey Vergel Mulat, lyf Champion (Residence Manager).

By blending the concepts of coworking and co-living, The Ascott Limited’s developmen­t aims to create dynamic environmen­ts where residents can connect and share resources. The communal aspect of these living arrangemen­ts encourages creativity, innovation, and a sense of belonging among residents.

lyf Cebu caters to diverse needs. Solo travelers will find comfort in the “One of a Kind,” a cozy studio with a

queen-sized bed featuring a charging ledge for ultimate convenienc­e. The property offers twin rooms in two layouts for traveling companions: side-by-side or feet-to-feet. These rooms share the same amenities as the solo option. Groups or families can spread out in the “All Together”, a spacious layout with four bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living area-–perfect for creating lasting memories together.

The “Connect” area is your onestop shop for collaborat­ion and focused work. High-speed internet, comfy chairs, and ample power outlets create a workspace designed for maximum efficiency. Need some quiet time? The “Nook” provides a private haven for uninterrup­ted focus.

When it’s time to unwind, head to the “Stadium” lounge area for casual relaxation and socializin­g.

Bond over shared meals at “Bond”, the fully equipped social kitchen. Here, you can create delicious dishes,

exchange recipes, and share the joy of cooking.

Move the party from the kitchen to the “Dip” pool area. Or, head to the “Unwind” rooftop clubhouse for stunning views, drinks, and unforgetta­ble Cebu sunsets.

Burn some calories at the 24-hour “Burn” gym, featuring top-notch equipment. For an extra dose of fun, take the indoor slide from Burn straight into the outdoor area of Bond!

lyf takes the chore out of laundry with the “Wash and Hang” social launderett­e. Play games, read, or simply hang out while your clothes get clean.

Whether you’re looking for a new way to live, work, or simply connect with others, co-living at lyf Cebu City offers an exciting glimpse into the future of experienti­al-led social living. Embrace the new era of shared experience­s and discover a sense of belonging unlike any other.
