Overview
Vita Isola Leisure Farm — the name borrows the Spanish/Italian for “island life” — is a roughly one-hectare organic farm, aqua-farm, restaurant, and small resort property in Barangay Ubojan on Sandingan Island, Loon. Boholano couple Raymond and Janeth Roldan, owners of the Visayas-wide telecom retail chain Save N’ Earn, built and opened it in 2018 as an expansion of what started as a retirement rest house. The property runs an organic vegetable and herb garden grown without chemicals or pesticides, an aquaculture operation raising bangus (milkfish), kitong, pompano, and abalone, native-breed farm animals — chickens, turkeys, goats, quails, rabbits — and the on-site Casa Boholano restaurant, which serves Visayan dishes built from the farm’s own produce and fresh seafood. A two-bedroom guesthouse, La Casita, handles overnight stays, with an infinity pool and kayaking into the adjacent mangrove.
