1 of 7

Already globally recognized for its sparkling seas and stunning sites, Cebu boldly seeks new heights in creating unforgettable experiences and elevating extraordinary encounters as it celebrates the completion of The Mall | NUSTAR.

Envisioned as Asia’s newest and most exciting luxury destination, The Mall | NUSTAR houses the most stunning line-up of sought-after, iconic fashion and lifestyle brands ever assembled in the Philippines, outside Manila.

The Mall | NUSTAR’s General Manager May Adolfo describes the significance of this milestone to Cebu and NUSTAR.

“The completion of The Mall | NUSTAR is a milestone for NUSTAR and for Cebu. When we laid our masterplan in 2018, our grand vision is 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 bests 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 Filipino 5-star hotel, and now The Mall | NUSTAR, we are moving closer to fully realizing our vision,” Adolfo said.

The Mall | NUSTAR is a carefully curated four-level sophisticated expanse punctuated by sleek, modern architecture adorned with captivating local and international artworks.

In its luxury wing, The Mall | NUSTAR showcases its premier boutique roster that includes Boss, Bulgari, Burberry Celine, Dior, Ferragamo, Givenchy, Gucci, Kenzo, Lacoste, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Montblanc, Off-White, Porsche Design, Rimowa, Saint Lauren, Tiffany & Co., Tory Burch, Univers, and Versace; as well as prestige beauty brands Clé de Peau Beauté, Estée Lauder, Jo Malone, and the Rustan’s Beauty Source.

Adolfo expounds, “It was like serendipity. When we started engaging with these luxury brands, several of them were already searching for opportunities in Cebu as a prospective market gateway to the Visayas and Mindanao regions. As the country’s second biggest metropolis, Cebu’s cosmopolitan population has also been clamoring for more retail options that cater to their discerning tastes. By bringing together these new-to market brands that embody craftsmanship and quality in our uniquely placed location, we are able to offer a different luxury retail experience.” She continues, “We are thankful to our partners for their support and confidence in the NUSTAR vision. We are glad they recognize and embrace the possibilities in Cebu.”
