Lapu-Lapu City: Island life meets modern convenience

Living in a coastal community surely has its charm.

- By CATHERINE TALAVERA

There is something calming about being able to witness the breathtaking views of the beach while listening to the waves crash. To have easy access to this is something a lot of people dream about. However, living the island life often means being away from the modern conveniences offered by urban areas, which can be a dealbreaker for some. Fortunately, you can have the best of both worlds in Lapu-Lapu City.

Comprising part of the Mactan Island in Cebu, Lapu-Lapu City is able to seamlessly integrate urban living within a coastal community. While it is home to popular beaches, the city has also witnessed development over the years as it now houses resorts, condominiums, and even retail areas.
