Description

Aruga Resort and Residences – Mactan is Rockwell Land’s first premier residential resort development in the South, and is considered one of the developer’s crown jewels outside Metro Manila.

Situated in Mactan Island—a renowned destination for sailing and snorkeling—Aruga Resort and Residences offers a unique blend of luxury living and resort-style adventure both within and beyond the community.

Residents and guests can enjoy exclusive access to a 270-meter stretch of private white sand beach, complemented by breathtaking views of the Hilutungan Channel and Magellan Bay.

The development is composed of four major components:

• The First Residential Tower

• The Hotel

• The Villas

• The Second Residential Tower

The First Residential Tower will rise to 20 physical floors, offering a selection of 1-Bedroom, 2-Bedroom, and 3-Bedroom units. The building will also feature special 3-Bedroom and 4-Bedroom deck units, each designed with its own private pool area for a truly elevated resort living experience.

As of the first quarter of 2026, construction is currently progressing toward finishing works and have started turnover of the units on the lower floors.

Next steps for moving to Philippines

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
