Starting December 3, 2025, Jetstar will be flying Brisbane to Cebu-Mactan direct, saving you 1-2 days of travel time on the round-trip, compared with Sydney-Manila.

Make the best of Cebu-Mactan whether as a transit point or as your ultimate destination. Start or end your trip, or both, with a 3-night “transition” holiday at Plantation Bay.

Plantation Bay is just 30 minutes from the airport yet totally different from any resort you may know in Australia, and from all others in Mactan:

• It’s built like a village, with soothing colonial-plantation architecture surrounding a 3-hectare central private lagoon, with a relaxed, secluded, timeless feel.
• Family-friendly. Solo-Traveler friendly. Single-Parent friendly. Inclusive. Senior-friendly, wheelchair-friendly, ideal for meeting up with older relatives.
• Foodie-friendly. Four restaurants spanning the world’s favorite cuisines, including the best of Filipino food.
• More leisure facilities for all kinds of guest, than all other resorts in Mactan — scuba and island cruises, of course, but also archery, indoor firing range, botanical tour, wall-climbing, lagoon kayaking, stand-up paddleboard, out-of-town excursions for whaleshark-watching and canyoneering, bingo, dance instruction, whisky tasting, and more.

• All-Inclusive With No Surprises option available!! (See Special Offers under Rooms & Reservations.)
