Now that the government has relaxed quarantine regulations, I could focus on helping boost local tourism by featuring some of my future beach destinations.
Tropical paradise
The Philippines has some of the world’s most beautiful white sand beach islands. Now that Boracay Island has been rehabilitated back to the tropical paradise that it should be after its major cleanup and a stricter implementation of guidelines, I am most excited about returning to Discovery Shores Boracay, which has added wonderful property updates and upgrades.
To start off, its Junior Suites have been renovated to sport a fresh, new look with cool hues for a more relaxing, comfortable stay. The restaurant outlets, Sands and Indigo, also underwent a makeover apart from having a new menu offering. Guests will definitely enjoy its super chic yet relaxing ambiance.
You also need to experience Discovery Shores Boracay’s’ crown jewel, the Signature Suites—an exclusive wing that offers luxurious experiences for discerning guests. It is comprised of spacious, light-filled one-bedroom and two-bedroom units as well as a presidential suite called The Grand Signature Suite—all offering a private lounge pool plus breathtaking coastal and island views. The Guest Experience Makers, fondly known as GEMs will be the passionate hosts who will elevate guests’ stays with bespoke service. Guests are also invited to go on a culinary journey to Italy with the opening of Forno Osteria, the resort’s new all-day dining destination.
Serene island life
As soon as local flights resume, I will also head to Bohol.
Conveniently located 15 minutes away from the Bohol-Panglao International Airport is The Bellevue Resort, which will allow you to enjoy the serenity of island life in its 158 exquisitely appointed luxurious Deluxe Rooms and Suites. This luxurious 5-star resort is situated on the peaceful shorelines of Panglao Island, making it perfect for families looking for both quiet leisure time and fun-filled activities while on vacation. The Bellevue Resort also offers a wide variety of recreation facilities such as infinity pool, dive pool, spa, children’s play area and gym.
For destination weddings, the resort’s seasoned events team will be with you from the beginning of your wonderful journey to your happily ever after. They will expertly assist with a suave despedida de soltera on the Luxury View Deck and maybe a spa retreat at the Azure Spa. The resort’s serene private beachfront could be arranged for the wedding rites and a delectable fresh-from-the-farm organic menu could be prepared upon request.
Legendary surf breaks
I haven’t seen the exciting surfing action in Siargao Island so I am looking forward to check out this beautiful destination. Having one the world’s most legendary surf breaks, Siargao Island’s Cloud 9 is its biggest natural attraction. And only steps away from Cloud 9 is Kawayan Siargao Resort, located on the edge of the Philippine Trench, near the tip of a lush, largely undiscovered tropical island. This beautiful bouquet resort is an oasis of fashionable, sensual accommodations and a fine dining restaurant headlined by a classically trained chef from France.
Offering guests an experience like no other, Kawayan Siargao Resort offers a contemporary haven of luxuriously comfortable villas in the heart of a tropical paradise, exuding the warmth of a home away from home. The luxurious villas were designed to complement nature’s beauty. Along with the exotic surroundings of the villa, the fine dining and surreal interiors of the resort could easily detox the mind and body from all the worries and anxieties as we live in this new normal.
