Feature: Escape to Mactan
Aruga Resort and Residences Mactan is an innovative residential concept that mixes the perks of resort relaxation with Rockwell’s signature community living, with only about 276 units, and boasting a 270-meter beach front
LAST OCTOBER, the calming sounds of the waves on Mactan’s sunny shores served to welcome guests to the exquisite Aruga Pavilion for an afternoon of food and drink. Overlooking the waters, with yachts lined on the horizon and against the glistening pool and the property’s serene ambiance, the gathering was the kind of relaxing and sophisticated experience that patrons have come to expect from Rockwell.
Well-adorned with warm wood furnishings, tiled flooring with accent mosaics, a soothing palette of colors of the sea, and local rattan furniture balanced with more modern pieces, the bright, airy, and inviting villa exuded a contemporary tropical feel. Outside the villa, an outdoor lounge with a pool already gave a glimpse of what it’s like to live in the property and wake up to spectacular beachfront views.
Before sunset, guests were taken on a cruise along the Hilutungan channel where people continued to enjoy delicious canapes, peaceful surroundings, and great company.
While the five-hectare enclave is still being developed, guests got a taste and feel of the Rockwell lifestyle in Cebu, complemented by Mactan’s scenic ambiance and reinforced by the setup’s rustic charm. The area was enveloped in lush landscapes with leafy tropical plants distributed throughout and draped with soft outdoor lanterns. The real experience was created with a taste of the 270-meter wide beachfront with natural fine white sand while guests enjoyed their cocktails and grilled seafood by the water.
Situated along the leisure strip of Punta Engaño, Aruga Resort and Residences Mactan is Rockwell Land’s first residential-resort development, perfectly combining beautiful hotel and residential spaces and surrounded by panoramic views of the Magellan Bay and Hilutungan Channel. A private escape turned into a luxurious piece of real estate, Aruga Resort and Residences Mactan is conveniently located along Mactan’s sophisticated string of hotels and leisure establishments. Complementing the relaxing atmosphere by the beach, the property’s open areas are adorned by manicured gardens, keeping the area cool and energizing. The hotel and residential areas are seamlessly integrated, giving the best experience for guests and homeowners alike.
Currently priced at an average of PHP 311,000, per square meter, the beachfront view units command the highest price in Mactan. Priced at an average of PHP 357,000 per square meter, units range from one- to four-bedroom with sizes ranging from 67 to 292 square meters.
Apart from beachfront villas, residential spaces, and beautiful hotel rooms, wellness and leisure are also elevated with top-notch facilities: a private gym, elegant chapel, glistening pool, and an expansive function room perfect for intimate gatherings or lively celebrations.
Aruga Resort and Residences Mactan’s residential and hotel towers are set for turnover in 2023.
