Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort & Spa, Cebu Presents Yuletide Feasts

As the yuletide season draws nearer, a wave of merriment cascades through the halls of Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort & Spa, Cebu.

Taking on the motif of a Filipino Christmas, merriment at the resort is marked with Filipino-inspired décor, plus that distinct warmth and afterglow of a Filipino home. Akin to the traditional Noche Buena—taking center stage amidst the flurry of the season is the resort’s selection of feasts, promising a holiday that is not only merry and bright, but also palatable.

Guests are in for a treat the moment they step inside, as the Lobby Lounge serves the season’s rendition of its well-loved High Tea. Here guests get to pair their choice of premium tea with a serving of yuletide-themed savory snacks, canapés, shortbreads, pralines and more. The Christmas High Tea is a sweet start to the festivity, as it will be available beginning Dec. 1.
