Layout Design and Text by Katherine C. Eustaquio

The Embarcadero de Legazpi is a major development at the Legazpi Port area; a project that aims to encourage foreign investments not only in Legazpi City but also in the entire Bicol region.

Imagine one of Makati’s most famous lifestyle hubs right beside the city harbor with the majestic Mayon Volcano as its scenery by day and the ships’ lights by night. International retail brands, as well as renowned local and international restaurants, line up Embarcadero de Legazpi’s plaza.

Embarcadero’s Celebration Plaza is the heart of Embarcadero de Legazpi. Located right in its center, the plaza houses the Playland, several tiangges, a multi-purpose event area, a huge open space for guests who want to try the Segway, and a fantastic location for events.

Embarcadero de Legazpi’s seaside area has a line-up of “paluto” restaurants that boast of the freshest seafood. From their own versions of the well-known Bicol Express, to sizzling seafood and to mouth-watering laing, there’s really nothing better than eating outside in the open sea air as live acoustic bands serenade you while you’re sipping a bottle of cold beer or two.

The Embarcadero de Legazpi gives a new dimension to entertainment hubs with its array of water sports and recreational activities to try.

Definitely a must-try for everyone who visits Embarcadero de Legazpi. Take a grand leap from the top of Embarcadero’s lighthouse and get a magnificent 360 degrees view of the Mayon Volcano with the sea just a few feet below from where you are suspended.

For an adrenaline rush activity that you can share with friends and family, Embarcadero de Legazpi has its own Go Kart race track right beside the sea.

Interesting Fact: Embarcadero’s Go Kart Racing facility keeps track of the fastest lap ever made on the track. Get your gear in check and go set a new record.

Everyone’s favorite extreme water sport can now be done right beside the mall. Jetski enthusiasts will surely enjoy navigating the vast waters with the view of the Mayon Volcano just nearby.

The Embarcadero also offers paddle boat rides, parasailing, and even a helicopter ride for guests who want to get a panoramic and closer look at the magnificent Mayon Volcano.

Segway (Php 200.00 per 15 minutes)

Legazpi City’s new entertainment hub has really given the harbor area a new life in a new light. Embarcadero de Legazpi is the only mall in the city that stays open until midnight and therefore is a favorite hangout place for locals and tourists alike.

Embarcadero’s picturesque lighthouse is a magnificent sight to behold at night and this is a clear manifestation that its home is shining brightly in its mother city and it wouldn’t be long before the rest of the country—and the world—take notice and follow the light that would lead them to Legazpi City.
