​Have you ever taken a trip to the northern tip of Cebu? Have you visited the beaches in the area? Since a number of the places feature a rocky coastline a few resorts have made the necessary adjustments to follow the contour of the land. One of these places is the Medellin Hideaway.

Medellin

The town of Medellin is the Sugar Bowl of Cebu since a good part of the land is used for sugarcane. Since the town is not capable of competing with its neighbors in terms of revenue, the local government decided to focus on eco-tourism. Due to this, the town is gradually gaining the reputation of being a fun destination in the northern part of the island. In fact, it is considered as the Ecotourism Capital of Cebu.

Medellin Hideaway 

The Medellin Hideaway is a public beach located in Barangay Tindog, Medellin, which is located around eight kilometers from the municipal hall. Owned by the municipal government, the place is not your typical beach resort since it was designed to follow the lay of the land. The place offers numerous cottages guests can rent while they are at the resort. The colorful cottages are ideal for family gatherings or a get-together among friends.

​The Medellin Hideaway also features a long bamboo bridge connecting the mainland to a rocky islet close to the coast. The bridge is around 500 meters long and is illuminated at night making the place even more appealing to visitors to this quaint beach resort in Medellin. Aside from swimming, guests at the Medellin Hideaway can also go snorkeling and kayaking or they can opt to rent a jet ski.

​The entrance fee at the place is at PHP10 and cottage rentals can go up to PHP1500 for the whole day. If you want to stay the night, you can rent one of the rooms at the Apartelle, which is located close to the Medellin Hideaway. Room rates are at PHP750 per night.

Getting to Medellin

To get to Medellin, you can get on a bus headed for Kawit at the Cebu North Bus Terminal. You can also ride a bus going to the neighboring towns of Medellin. From these towns you can hop on a tricycle that will take you to the town proper. The trip takes around three to four hours depending on the traffic.

​While the Medellin Hideaway is not your typical beach resort, it does offer something different from what is typically offered by resorts around the island. It is also a place where you can hideout for the weekend after a whole week at work in the big city.
