Azure Beach Club – Crimson Mactan

Azure Beach Club sits on the private beach of Crimson Resort and Spa in Seascapes Resort Town on Mactan Island, looking out over the water with a broad 180-degree sea view. The setting is white sand dotted with umbrellas, sunloungers and hooded cabana pods, close to the resort's infinity pool.

It works as a daytime lounging spot and turns into a lively bar with music after dark. The kitchen serves Asian-inspired dishes and comfort classics such as Korean fried chicken, pork pao buns, Margherita pizza and salads, and the bar has a list of signature cocktails. It opens daily from 10am until midnight, staying open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.

It suits couples and groups who want a polished resort beach with food and drinks close at hand. Tables can be reserved through the resort's restaurant booking form; Mactan-Cebu International Airport is around 20 minutes away by car.
