Known for its pristine beach, topnotch hotels, vibrant dining destinations, and thriving business district, property giant Megaworld’s 30-hectare The Mactan Newtown in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu continues its transformation into a destination where everyday life and tourism naturally come together.
A township designed for work and leisure
Within the beachside township, residents, workers, students, and visitors can live, learn, work, and unwind within one walkable space. Schools, such as The Newtown School of Excellence and QQEnglish, international dining concepts like Gordon Ramsay Street Burger and Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips, local culinary favorites at Mactan Alfresco—including some of Cebu’s most renowned lechoneros—and hotels such as Mercure Mactan Cebu and Savoy Hotel Mactan contribute to the township’s growing mix of vibrant experiences.

Just minutes away from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport and near some of Lapu-Lapu City’s top attractions, The Mactan Newtown has transformed into a destination for cultural festivals, sporting events, and business gatherings. Opening Mactan Expo, Cebu’s first standalone convention center with access to a beach, allowed the township to further expand its offerings.
Mactan Expo strengthens Cebu’s S-MICE appeal
Mactan Expo’s location places hotels, dining and retail establishments, and the beachfront within walking distance of delegates taking part in conventions. By bringing business travelers, exhibitors, and international visitors into the township, which first began in a major way when Mactan Expo hosted the 48th ASEAN Summit and other related meetings just a few months back, The Mactan Newton has introduced Sports, Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (S-MICE) tourism into the township’s appeal while highlighting Lapu-Lapu City’s role as a major contributor to Cebu province’s economy.
“With the ASEAN Summit bringing delegates and stakeholders from the region to Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, Mactan Expo demonstrated The Mactan Newtown’s strength as a suitable venue for high-level international gatherings. More than a convention center, Mactan Expo has become a key element of this integrated township where accessibility, hospitality, culture, and community come together in one setting,” says Louella Caridad, head of conventions and events, Megaworld.
