Little Santorini is a hidden resort in the mountainous areas of Liloan, perfect for any occasion.
The luscious green mountains of Cebu are ideal spots for trekking, camping, and exploring. The cold breeze and the magnificent view make it a perfect weekend vacation spot.
This kind of atmosphere has inspired all sorts of establishments to set up resorts situated within the island’s many mountain ranges. The Cebu Transcentral Highway has many visitors because of the abundance of these relaxing spots, but the northern municipality of Liloan also has one that is frequented by many.
The Little Santorini Mountain Resort is located 20 kilometers away from Cebu City. It is inspired by the island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea, a Greek tourist spot where one of the biggest volcanic eruptions in history took place, which left a crater of ash several meters deep.
This mountain resort is inspired by the beauty and overlooking view of Santorini, Greece.
The recreational hotspot borrowed the iconic white architecture of the famous Greek island, with its facade, walls, and amenities covered in whitewashed stone.
The resort’s main attraction is their two swimming pools. The main pool is big and spacious, perfect for a casual swim. You can lounge in the poolside while enjoying the view of the sunset behind the lush green mountains.
