BALAMBAN, Cebu -- Cebu Landmasters Inc. (CLI) is developing a 21-hectare mountain estate, in Magsaysay Peak in Balamban, Cebu in a joint venture between CLI and MagsPeak Nature Park Inc. composed of Cebuano businessmen and fellow Caminoans, Bob Gothong, Segundino Selma Jr., Richard Ray King, and Douglas Gacasan designed to create a holistic mountain experience for Cebu with an outdoor, religious and hospitality component built with sustainability at its core.
With an elevation of 800 meters, MagsPeak will
be one of the starting points of the Camino de Cebu trail favored by pilgrims
expressing their religious devotion. The MagsPeak to Compostela pilgrim trail
is a 42-kilometer route traversing the mountainside of Manunggal Balamban down
to the Municipality of Compostela, whose patron, St. James the Apostle is also
a featured saint in the MagsPeak chapel.
MagsPeak devotees can further immerse in a spiritual retreat inside the beautiful Our Lady of the Pillar Chapel which overlooks the mountains, or contemplate the 20 stations along the 800-meter long Rosary Walk, or meditation quietly the Pieta in a garden inspired by Michelangelo, or do penance by climbing the 14 stations of the Way of the Cross from the entrance to the top of MagsPeak.
MagsPeak also offers a unique hospitality experience managed by CLI’s Hospitality arm, CLI Hotels & Resorts. To open in 2025, the resort comprises 13 exclusive mountain villas and 20 hotel rooms highlighting views of the Balamban mountain landscape and western Cebu seascape. Guest stays will further be enhanced with a clubhouse, heated infinity pools, and a farm-to-table restaurant.
With sustainability integral to its development, MagsPeak showcases eco-friendly initiatives and outdoor programs such hiking trails, camping facilities and other child-friendly activities surrounded by nature.
The developments' master plan fosters environmental conservation and integrates efficient green practices through tree reforestation programs such as planting of thousands of endemic trees prior to construction activities, and a solar-powered water retention system promoting a sustainable and responsible development.
