About Nustar Resort and Casino

NUSTAR Resort and Casino is a 9-hectare integrated resort on Kawit Point in South Road Properties (SRP), Cebu City—the first and only integrated resort in the Visayas and Mindanao. Opened in May 2022 as a joint venture of Universal Hotels and Resorts, Inc. and the Cebu City Government, it is known for the region's largest gaming floor (about 21,000 square meters with roughly 250 tables and 1,500 machines), luxury hotels such as Fili Hotel, Nustar Mall dining and shopping, a large convention center, and entertainment venues including Axis Entertainment and Sports Bar. Guests come for casino nights, fine dining (including names like Mott 32 and Il Primo Steakhouse), MICE events, shopping, and a full leisure stay minutes from SM Seaside. NUSTAR Resort and Casino is one of the best luxury entertainment destinations in Cebu City for travelers seeking gaming, five-star hospitality, and an all-in resort experience without leaving Metro Cebu.

What to expect

NUSTAR is a 9-hectare integrated resort on Kawit Point in the South Road Properties — the first in the Visayas and Mindanao. The draw is the mix under one roof: the region's largest gaming floor, five-star hotels including Fili, NUSTAR Mall shopping and dining, a big convention centre, and entertainment venues. The restaurant line-up is a genuine reason to come on its own, with names like Mott 32 and Il Primo Steakhouse. Most visitors come for a casino night, a fine-dinner-and-shopping evening, an event, or a full leisure stay minutes from SM Seaside.

Editorial review

It’s actually more like a mall than just a resort — there are casinos, good restaurants, shops, and plenty of places to explore. NUSTAR is a great spot if you want dining, entertainment, and a bit of everything in one place.
