Exciting things await Ironman athletes at Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown
From a special hotel promo to a variety of authentic Cebuano cuisines, there’s a lot to enjoy during the ‘Ironman’ weekend at The Mactan Newtown
The heat is on at The Mactan Newtown, property giant Megaworld’s 30-hectare township in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, as it gets ready to host the highly anticipated return of Ironman 70.3 Philippines happening this August.
Right in the heart of all the action is the 18-storey, 547room Savoy Hotel Mactan inside The Mactan Newtown. Staying at Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown puts you just about five to seven minutes away from the beach area of The Mactan Newtown where all the race action will begin.
Come race day, the township’s main avenue, the fourlane Newtown Boulevard, promises to offer a truly unique experience for athletes and spectators alike. Stretching for almost a kilometer, the avenue is lined with over 250 mango trees, a feature that inspired the township’s firstever ‘Cebu Mangoes Festival’ back in 2019.
Look no further than Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown for a place to call your home away from home during this sporting event as a one-of-a-kind experience awaits every athlete, budding triathlete, and guest inside The Mactan Newtown. Here are some reasons why staying at Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown is truly a must during the Ironman race weekend:

Just a short walk away from the hotel are other retail and dining establishments, including the township’s own grocery store, a Starbucks café, as well as its own McDonald’s outlet. There’s also the Mactan Alfresco located right at the township entrance, where guests can satisfy their cravings for authentic Cebuano delicacies and other cuisines from more than a dozen dining outlets.
What’s more, athletes and visitors can even take part in all the festivities happening in this year’s Lechon Festival throughout the Mactan Newtown, which will also take place at The Mactan Newtown on the same week that action for the Ironman race unfolds.
Cebu’s premier ‘live-work-play-learn’ community
With Megaworld coming on board as the main sponsor of the prestigious endurance competition, excitement is truly palpable at The Mactan Newtown, the company’s first-ever township with its own beach outside of Metro Manila.
