NUSTAR Resort & Casino sits on Cebu City’s South Road Properties, the reclaimed waterfront strip the city has been filling and building out since the 1990s. It opened in 2022 as the first integrated casino resort in the Visayas, and the design leans into that reclaimed-land setting — a low, horizontal profile facing the Mactan Channel rather than the tower-block model Manila’s casino belt is built on.
- The gaming floor and retail promenade sit at the resort’s public-facing edge, drawing a mixed crowd of staying guests and visitors coming in for dinner or shopping rather than to play.
- Restaurant options range from the resort’s signature dining rooms to more casual outlets, most with a channel-facing line of sight toward Mactan.
- The pool deck and spa occupy the quieter upper levels, set back from the retail traffic below.
NUSTAR anchors a wider push to build out Cebu City’s MICE and leisure economy on land that didn’t exist a generation ago — the same reclamation project that carries its public boardwalk along the waterfront below.
