Hotels in Cebu, Philippines

Cebu, an island province in the central Philippines, has a tropical climate with dry winters (December to May) and wet summers, making it famous for its world-class diving spots like Moalboal's sardine run and historical landmarks like Magellan's Cross in Cebu City. During the dry season, you can swim with whale sharks in Oslob or island-hop around the white-sand beaches of Bantayan, while the wet season from June to November is perfect for exploring the colonial-era churches and bustling markets without crowds. If you visit the south, the Kawasan Falls offer canyoneering year-round, but the north's Malapascua Island is best for thresher shark sightings in the drier months.
