Seeking Crimson in Cebu

The Queen City of the South is famous for its rich historical past. Its aura of being a busy and modern city has always been a focal point of growth in the Southern Philippines.  No wonder, Cebu’s beauty has been named as the 7th Best Asia Pacific Island Destination in 2009, as well as the 7th Best Island Destination in the Indian Ocean-Asia region in 2007 by no less than the Conde’ Nast Traveler Magazine.

Now there’s also something to behold with the emerging of a newest paradise in the heart of Mactan, Cebu.  Enter Crimson Resort and Spa, a sprawling six-hectare resort with 250 Suites and 40 Villas with 38 Plunge Pools.  The place marries both comfort and style in Contemporary Asian design with its four concept-themed restaurants and bars, the Ballroom, various sports and water sports facilities. Soon, it will also be the new home of the grandiose 2,000 square meter Aum Spa.

Master planned by both Architectural and Interior Design firm of Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo (WATG) from California and the Landscape Architecture of Belt Collins from Hong Kong; Crimson will transport its guests to a wondrous world reminiscent of Balinese-inspired resorts with unique Philippine touches.

Crimson boasts of being a modern tropical hideaway all equipped with their well-appointed rooms, amenities and an infinity pool that plunges into the ocean. Beautifully-landscaped gardens, contemporary and muted tropical aesthetics, punctuated by elements of wood, stone and woven natural Philippine fibers resonate throughout the resort.
