Why visit Malabago Beach Resort?

MORE ON THERAPEUTIC CLAY MASSAGE & SPA

Actually, you can apply that healing mud/clay yourself since it is available at this beach.

However, if you want to have somebody to have it properly applied to your whole body (mostly), you need to ask any of the workers at this resort (for PhP300).

You will have the therapeutic clay massage inside an open hut where you can truly enjoy the massage and its healing effects while not missing to inhale (and exhale) the refreshing sea breeze.

Some say that studies regarding this Malabago clay proved to be effective: it can relieve stress, especially those clay found right at the base of the tree. In addition, any part of the tree itself can be used to treat fever, ulcer, and other physical sickness. I would certainly agree with this since scores of plants in tropical countries are common sources of medicine, either being used commercially or as herbal medicine by local users.

Finding Malabago Beach Resort in Asturias Finding this resort is not that difficult to do. Here are some tips on how to get to Malabago, Asturias, Cebu. Ayala-Tuburan Route You can easily find Malabago Resort if you take a V-hire with an Ayala-Tuburan signboard bound for Barangay Sta Lucia, Asturias. This is an easy ride and you can sleep away and would not realize you are already in the area as you awake. Then, from Barangay Sta Lucia you can take a motorbike for hire (or habal-habal) that will bring you to Malabago resort. However, if you got your own private vehicle you comfortably go straight but with your map prepared beforehand.
