Dr. Emilio Botanical Garden
Dr. Emilio Osmeña’s Garden is a both a resort and a botanical garden located in the mountainous part of Cebu City in Brgy. Busay. This little paradise is perfectly nestled along the road towards Cebu Tops just after the Balay sa Busay but not before reaching Lavie in the Sky, and Tops Skyline Garden.

Visitors can easily find this place, since it has a road sign on the right side after reaching Balay sa Busay. Moreover, Dr. Emilio Osmeña Botanical Garden has quite the unique features because of its circular design and a round swimming pool.
And placed just beside it are tables and chairs for your convenience. We also noticed that the venue is surrounded by beautiful wooden Wigwams which can be quite a background for your Instagram shots!

Pyramid Sheds
Don Emilio Botanical Garden has a total of 20 sheds and can accommodate up to 2-3 people. The shed is not well-equipped and we advised you to bring your own power bank, as the shed doesn’t have an available electric socket. And when you visit the resort, be sure that all your gadgets are fully charged.
If you are planning to take a night at the resort, it is advised to prepare a blanket as the night gets colder. If you are the type of person who likes a cold mountain breeze and having a cozy night, then this is for you! And what’s more interesting, you’ll get to see a stunning view as the sunrises, embracing you with that warm glow.
