Shopping in Mactan Island can be quite a remarkable experience in its own right. In particular, the island has a good supply of guitar factories, some of which you can explore before making a purchase. They come in many colours and styles and make perfect gifts for people who like Asian arts and crafts.

If you want bargains in international brand names for clothes, watches and such goods, try big malls around the island, of which there’s a pretty good selection. These places also have a huge range of international dining options and sometimes even some entertainment options like cinemas – perfect for killing a few hours on a rainy day or chilling out if the tropical heat’s getting to you.
