Malapascua Island




Malapascua Island is situated in Daanbantayan, Cebu.

It is a recent discovery for diving afficionados being discovered only in the early 90s. It is a tiny island 8 kilometers across a shallow strait from the northernmost tip of mainland Cebu island. Logon, an insular barangay of Daanbantayan occupies the entire Malapascua Island and has eight hamlets. Malapascua is actually a diver’s paradise. The island was discovered not for its white sandy beach but for its beautiful coral gardens and excellent dive spots nearby. The first resort to locate in the island was a diving facility. Today, majority of the resorts offer full-service dive facilities.



In fact more than half of the visitors to the island are divers and dive afficionados. Bounty Beach is the name of a stretch of beach along the southern shore. It is the main beach of the island where most of the upscale resorts are found. Cocobana Beach Resort, the largest on the island, the pricey yet exquisite Sunsplash Resort, and Hippocampus Resort are some of the popular resorts that offer excellent accommodations and dining options. Most passenger boats to and from Cebu land at Bounty Beach.


How to get to Malapascua / Bantayan Island

Getting to Malapascua Island is a 4-hour bus trip from the Cebu North Bus Terminal passing through picturesque northern towns of Cebu to Maya, Daanbantayan, the northernmost point of Cebu mainland. Upon arrival at the Maya wharf, motorized outrigger boats will take visitors to the Malapascua island across the narrow channel in 30 minutes or so, depending on the weather condition. The trip frequency to the island takes every 30 minutes for 24 hours. But the trip back to the mainland usually stops at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Camotes Island resorts



Lying 33 nautical miles northeast of Cebu City in central Philippines is a small piece of paradise --- the archipelago of Camotes.

Four islands comprise the Camotes group: Pacijan (San Francisco town), Poro (Poro and Tudela towns), Ponson (Pilar town) and Tulang (an island barangay of San Francisco).

In prehistoric Philippines, the coastal settlements in these islands were at the crossroads of civilization: vibrant trading communities and important ports of call for artists and artisans. Southeast Asians and Chinese merchants have come to do business with local traders, mostly fishermen and farmers, as evidenced by a whole pre-Hispanic village excavated in Poro town in the 70s.





Santiago Bay Garden and Resort - Camotes Island



Tropical bliss

The peaceful village of Santiago, San Francisco is Camotes’ first tourist enclave, home to Santiago Bay Garden and Resort, a 2.5 hectare of lush greenery. This 19-bedroom resort is charmingly tucked in a profusion of landscaped exotic foliage overlooking a wide, white sandy beach and a dazzling blue ocean. The resort successfully and effortlessly blends nature with friendly hospitality. It is a few minutes from the town and the ports of San Francisco and Poro.










Mangodlong Rock Resort - Camotes Island



A taste of paradise

Nestled in the serene fishermen’s village of Mangodlong, Heminsulan, San Francisco, the resort stands on 2 hectares of extensive coconut-shaded garden close to the beachfront. Across the resort and separated by a blue sea is a coral islet with tropical huts spread out, connected by a sand bar from the beach. The resort offers an ideal combination of intimacy and laid-back island atmosphere. It is a few minutes from the town and ports of San Francisco and Poro.
