Beachside Pool

Beachside Locations
Many swimming pools in Cebu are situated close to or directly by the beach. This proximity allows swimmers to enjoy the best of both worlds – the calm, controlled pool environment and the sea's natural beauty.

Beachside pools often provide stunning ocean views, making for a picturesque swimming experience. They also allow for easy transitioning between ocean swimming and pool lounging, perfect for those who love water in all its forms.

Infinity Pools

Infinity Pools with Panoramic Views
Infinity pools are popular, especially in luxury resorts. These pools are designed to give the illusion of merging with the horizon, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes – be it the ocean, mountains, or Cebu's skyline.

Swimming in an infinity pool is an experience often enhanced by the tranquil and visually stunning setting.

Waterpark

Waterpark Features
Some swimming pools in Cebu are part of larger waterpark complexes featuring slides, wave pools, and interactive water play areas.

These are particularly popular among families with children. They are usually crowded during weekends and holidays!

The waterparks provide a fun and engaging environment where kids and adults can enjoy various water-based activities, making them ideal for a day out or a family holiday.

They also offer karaoke, video games, bars, and more services catering to the needs of larger groups.

Hot Springs & Therapeutic Spas

Such pools offer a serene environment conducive to relaxation and are often part of more extensive spa and wellness facilities.

Spring Water Pools

Eco-Friendly and Natural Pools
Emphasizing sustainability, some pools in Cebu are eco-friendly, utilizing natural filtration systems and avoiding harsh chemicals.

These natural pools blend with the surrounding environment and offer a more organic swimming experience. They are often set amidst lush landscapes, adding to the feeling of swimming in a natural body of water.

You can find these swimming pools outside the city or within the forested mountainsides of Cebu Province.

In Cebu Province, numerous areas boast exceptional swimming pools, each offering unique experiences and facilities.

Here are five areas in Cebu where you can find such pools, along with five specific resort swimming pools and their descriptions...

Notable Areas Swimming Pools In Cebu

You can find great swimming pools with various facilities in/on...

1. Mactan Island: Known for its luxury resorts and pristine beaches, it hosts several resorts with stunning swimming pools, including infinity pools with ocean views.

You can find the domestic and international airports on this island. So, coming from outside the country or flying to Cebu from another province would be very convenient.

2. Moalboal: Famous for its diving spots, Moalboal also offers resorts with pools, perfect for relaxation after a day of snorkeling or diving.

Compared to the swimming pools on Mactan Island, the pools in Moalboal are smaller and managed by resorts. Many swimming pools are being used for scuba diving lessons in the area.

Ogtong Cave Resort, Bantayan Island

3. Bantayan Island: This serene island offers tranquil resort pools, often set in lush, tropical surroundings for a peaceful swimming experience.

Unlike Moalboal, Bantayan Island's swimming pools are usually only for relaxation. Divers do not come here as they prefer to swim in the sea and enjoy the extensive white beach areas.

4. Oslob: Besides being a hotspot for whale shark encounters, Oslob has resorts with pools overlooking the sea, providing a perfect blend of nature and comfort.

The views from the swimming pools in Oslob is stunning. They have both the sea and mountain views, only nature, without the irritating sights of concrete buildings.

5. Malapascua Island: Known for its beautiful beaches and thresher shark dives, Malapascua offers resort pools ideal for unwinding in a secluded and scenic setting.

Malapascua is a medium-sized island packed with resorts, some with swimming pools, but only a few have sea views.

Although not directly on the beach, this resort near the famous Kawasan Falls offers a unique pool experience.

The pool is fed by natural spring water from the nearby waterfalls, providing a refreshing and natural swimming environment amidst the lush Cebu landscape.

Kawasan Falls Resort needed a dedicated website as of my last update. Usually, information and booking for accommodations near Kawasan Falls are available through various travel and hotel booking platforms.

I recommend checking the latest online resources or contacting the resorts for the most accurate and current information.

Each of these swimming pools and their respective resorts in Cebu offers distinct features and amenities, catering to a range of preferences, whether it be luxury, relaxation, family fun, or a connection with nature.
