Already renowned in the world for its sea, sun and scenery, Cebu ups the ante with the opening of The Mall | NUSTAR. Envisioned as Asia’s newest and most exciting luxury destination, The Mall | NUSTAR houses the luxurious line-up of sought-after, iconic fashion and lifestyle brands in the Philippines, outside Manila.
The Mall | NUSTAR’s general manager May Adolfo says, “The completion of The Mall | NUSTAR is a milestone for Nustar and for Cebu. When we laid our masterplan in 2018, our grand vision was to bring Cebu to the world, and the world to Cebu. With this goal, we embarked on creating an integrated leisure and entertainment hub that rival the best of the world, yet at the same time feels uniquely Cebuano. By infusing elements in the development that reveal Cebu’s distinct charm, we are able to create the ultimate luxury escape getaway destination that melds cultural crossroads. Through Nustar Resort Cebu, The Fili Hotel—the first all-Filipino five-star hotel—and now The Mall | NUSTAR, we are moving closer to fully realizing our vision.”
