Sermon on the Mount Retreat Resort: A Peaceful Mountain Escape in Cebu Highlands 

The Scenic Journey

Reaching the resort is part of the experience. The winding roads of the Transcentral Highway offer panoramic views of Cebu’s highlands, turning a simple drive into a memorable journey.

With its elevated location, temperatures here are noticeably cooler than in the city - especially during early mornings and evenings - making it an ideal destination for those seeking fresh air and a break from the heat.

The Scenic Journey

One of the defining features of Sermon on the Mount Retreat Resort is its exclusive-use policy. The entire property is reserved for only one group at a time, ensuring complete privacy throughout the stay.

This setup creates a comfortable and secure environment, free from the usual crowds found in public resorts. It is particularly well-suited for families, church groups, corporate teams, and circles of friends who want uninterrupted time together.

By having full access to the property, guests can move freely and enjoy a more personal and meaningful experience - whether for celebrations, planning sessions, or spiritual retreats.

Comfortable Group Accommodation

The resort is thoughtfully designed for group stays, offering cabin-style accommodations that balance simplicity and comfort. Multiple beds allow families and organized groups to stay together conveniently, while the cozy interiors reflect the rustic charm of a mountain lodge.

Common to all areas: One group only per booking, ensuring a fully private stay with no other guests, allowing you to enjoy your time without interuptions.
Total: If both areas are booked together, accomodation can host up to 50 guests.
Extra person: P1,000 per head

Its layout makes it ideal for overnight retreats, team-building activities, and intimate gatherings. Due to its private-use concept, advance booking is highly recommended.

Amenities for Relaxation and Connection

Guests can enjoy a range of amenities designed to encourage both relaxation and shared experiences. A swimming pool overlooking the mountains provides a refreshing way to unwind, while the sauna offers a space for rest and rejuvenation.

The resort also features a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering, open decks for gatherings, and natural outdoor areas suitable for light walks and quiet reflection. Preparing meals together becomes part of the experience, adding warmth and connection to every stay.

Food and Dining Options

The resort supports a self-catering setup, allowing guests to bring their own food without corkage fees. Cooking and dining utensils are provided.

For added convenience, guests may pre-order an all-day breakfast set, which includes a choice of meals such as pancake and bacon, longganisa with egg and rice, corned beef, ham, tuna, spam, or hotdog - served with coffee or orange-kalamansi juice.

Afternoon snacks are also available, featuring local favorites like puto maya with mango and sikwate.

Ideal Venue for Retreats and Intimate Events

True to its name, Sermon on the Mount Retreat Resort is a popular choice for spiritual recollections, prayer meetings, and wellness retreats. Its peaceful surroundings naturally foster reflection and quiet time.

At the same time, the resort serves as a charming venue for birthdays, anniversaries, and small private celebrations. The mountain backdrop provides a simple yet beautiful setting, allowing gatherings to feel more personal and relaxed.
