Cebu Beach Club Argao: A Coastal Sanctuary in Southern Cebu

Discover Cebu’s Best-Kept Secret: The Hidden Paradise of Cebu Beach Club

When you think of Cebu, you might imagine the lively resorts of Mactan or days spent island hopping. But beyond the usual tourist spots lies a place that feels truly special — serene, unspoiled, and beautifully secluded. Welcome to Cebu Beach Club, a hidden gem nestled in the quiet coastal town of Argao, around 2.5 to 3 hours south of Cebu City.

Far from the busy city, this resort offers something rare: space to breathe, reconnect with nature, and truly unwind. It’s no surprise that travelers and influencers alike are falling in love with its charm. Here’s what makes Cebu Beach Club a destination worth discovering.

A Peaceful Retreat Surrounded by Nature

From the moment you arrive, everything feels slower, calmer, and more intentional. The drive itself is scenic — winding past rice fields, sleepy towns, and ocean views — setting the tone for what’s to come.

Cebu Beach Club shares its philosophy, "Two Resorts, One Hospitality", with its sister property, Bohol Beach Club, offering a consistent level of warm, high-quality service. You’ll find a blend of modern comfort and Filipino tradition throughout the resort, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming.

Uninterrupted Ocean Views and Tranquil Beaches

Set on a cliff overlooking the Camotes Sea, the resort delivers panoramic views that stretch to Bohol Island. The cliffs and coastlines here remain largely untouched, making the scenery feel raw and genuine — not overdeveloped or overly polished.

The private beach features powdery white sand and vibrant blue waters. Whether you're taking a morning walk along the shore or simply watching the light shift across the ocean throughout the day, this is the kind of place where doing nothing at all feels deeply satisfying.

A Visual Escape That’s Gained Attention

Cebu Beach Club has become a quiet favorite among photographers and influencers for good reason. The entire property is filled with postcard-perfect backdrops — from the dramatic infinity pool that blends into the sea, to minimalist architecture surrounded by greenery.

But even if you’re not posting to social media, you’ll appreciate how thoughtfully everything is designed. The spaces feel both intimate and open — ideal for couples, solo travelers, or families looking to spend quality time somewhere special.

Designed for Comfort and Style

The resort features 36 rooms, all created with a thoughtful mix of modern design and local details. Natural materials, soft lighting, and calming color palettes set the tone for a restful stay.

Room categories include:

• Superior Garden Side (20 rooms)

• Superior Cliffside (2 rooms)

• Deluxe Cliffside (14 rooms)

• 1-Bedroom Cliffside Suite

• 2-Bedroom Cliffside Suite (2 units; accommodates up to 4 guests)

In-room amenities: Smart TV, satellite channels, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, safety deposit box, mini-bar, electric kettle, complimentary water, slippers, iron, hairdryer, and eco-friendly toiletries.

Check-in: From 3:00 PM
Check-out: By 12:00 noon

Local Cuisine with a Global Touch at Bistro Talisay

Food is a big part of the experience here. The on-site Bistro Talisay serves dishes inspired by global cuisine but made with fresh local ingredients. The result is a menu that feels familiar yet rooted in the region.

One standout is the use of tablea — traditional Filipino chocolate made from locally sourced cacao in Argao. Found in both desserts and drinks, it’s a delicious way to experience local culture through flavor.

A Base for Exploration and Adventure

If you’re looking to explore more of Cebu’s natural wonders, Cebu Beach Club is ideally located. Just over an hour’s drive takes you to Oslob, where you can swim with whale sharks in a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. Leave early and you’ll beat the crowds for a more peaceful experience.

Other nearby attractions include:

• Moalboal – known for snorkeling with sardines and vibrant marine life
  
• Kawasan Falls – famous for its turquoise waters and canyoneering routes
  
• Carcar and Argao town centers – great for heritage walks and food discoveries

Explore Argao’s Local Treasures

The surrounding area offers more than natural beauty. If you have time, explore:

• St. Michael the Archangel Church – a Spanish-era church located 17 minutes from the resort

• Agta Cave – a hidden limestone cave surrounded by forest (around 40 minutes away)

• Bugasok Falls – a lesser-known waterfall with dramatic landscapes
  
  

Tour Options from the Resort

To make the most of your stay, Cebu Beach Club offers curated tours designed for both relaxation and adventure:

• Argao Heritage & Culinary Tour (half day): Includes visits to historic sites, local torta bakeries, and a tablea chocolate factory
  
• Oslob Whale Shark Watching (half day): Depart early morning for the best experience
  
• Sardine Run & Canyoneering Tour (full day): Includes snorkeling in Moalboal and canyon adventures in Kawasan Falls

Signature desserts and drinks incorporate this rich local ingredient, giving guests a literal taste of the town’s heritage.

The 4T’s Experience: Tradition and Tourism

More than just a beach resort, Cebu Beach Club invites guests to engage with the local culture through its signature “4T’s Cultural Tour.” The tour is centered around four traditional products of Argao:

• Torta – A sweet, sponge-like pastry baked using traditional clay ovens;
  
• Tuba – Fermented coconut wine, a popular local drink;
  
• Tablea – Raw chocolate disks used for hot chocolate or desserts;
  
• Textile – Locally woven fabrics, particularly Hablon, a heritage textile.

Guests are taken to workshops and local homes where they can see these products being made, meet the artisans behind them, and try their hand at crafting or cooking. This cultural immersion is designed not only to entertain but also to educate and empower the local community.

Seamless Travel Between Cebu and Bohol

Thanks to its connection with Bohol Beach Club, the resort also makes it easy to explore more of the Philippines. With a paid transfer service, you can travel directly from Cebu Beach Club to Bohol, skipping the hassle of arranging transport yourself.

Whether you want to explore Cebu’s nature first and then unwind in Bohol, or vice versa, this partnership makes it easy to enjoy both.

Plan Your Stay

Cebu Beach Club offers a fresh alternative to the more crowded resort areas in Cebu. It's ideal for travelers who want to slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy a more meaningful kind of luxury.

From quiet mornings overlooking the sea to afternoon adventures in the jungle or under the water, this is a place where you can shape your own perfect escape.
