Badian Wellness Resort Spa is not just a simple massage facility, but a destination spa designed for the renewal of both mind and body. In particular, its flower bath experience is considered a highlight of any trip to Cebu and is well worth the visit.

Tipping customs
In the Philippines, tipping is customary. At spas, it is common to give around 100 pesos depending on your level of satisfaction, handed directly to the therapist after changing or when leaving (please prepare cash). Note: In “no tipping” resorts such as Plantation Bay, tipping is not necessary.
Booking tips
As of 2026, popular spas tend to be fully booked several days in advance.
- Early booking is essential: Especially for popular places like VEL SPA, luxury urban spas, and Badian experiences that require flower bath preparation, advance reservations through CebuTrip or official social media channels are required.
- Arrival time: Since consultation and changing are done before the treatment, it is best to arrive 20 to 30 minutes before your appointment.
