▶ Check rates for The Bellevue Resort BoholWhy choose this? The Bellevue Resort sits on Barangay Doljo, on the quieter western side of Panglao, and its defining asset is scale of frontage: a private white-sand beach reported at around 420 metres, backed by 155 rooms and suites.
This is a large, full-service beach resort rather than a boutique one. The Doljo position trades the buzz of the Alona strip for space and calm. The beach is broad and the property spreads along it, with an infinity pool reading out toward the sea.
▶ Check availability and prices now!▶ Check rates for Bohol Bee FarmWhy choose this? Set on a low sea cliff above the channel at Barangay Dao, Dauis, on the eastern half of Panglao Island, Bohol Bee Farm is a working organic farm with a cliffside restaurant and 56 rooms built above and around it.
Rooms range from The Barn and the vegetable- and fruit-themed Garden Bungalows through the Beehive and Honeycomb Suites to the two-bedroom Colony villas.
▶ Check availability and prices now!▶ Check rates for South Palms Resort & Spa Panglao - MGalleryWhy choose this? South Palms Resort & Spa is the Accor MGallery property on Panglao, sitting directly on the Bolod sand a short way along the coast from Alona Beach.
Where Amorita trades on a clifftop view, South Palms trades on the opposite asset: one of the longest stretches of soft white sand on the island, right at the door.
▶ Check availability and prices now!▶ Check rates for Loboc River ResortWhy choose this? Loboc River Resort is one of the more distinctive properties in Bohol — a riverside resort on the Loboc River with rooms raised on stilts and linked by wooden bridges, rather than a beach or city hotel.
The setting is the entire appeal: river views, a lazy river, and on-site firefly and river-boat activities, in the green interior near the countryside loop.
▶ Check availability and prices now!▶ Check rates for Amarela ResortWhy choose this? Amarela Resort is the character property in this set: a small, design-led beachfront resort on the quiet Libaong — also called Lourdes — coast of Panglao, built in a Filipino-Spanish idiom and furnished with antiques and Filipino art.
Around 30 rooms sit low along a private beach, away from the crowds of Alona. The appeal is the opposite of scale.
▶ Check availability and prices now!▶ Check rates for Fox & The Firefly CottagesWhy choose this? Fox & The Firefly Cottages is a row of eleven native-style cottages on the Loboc River at Purok 2, Barangay Road, Brgy. Valladolid, Loboc — a short way upstream from the main river-cruise wharf and town centre.
The property runs its own stand-up paddleboard tours on the Loboc and cooks from its own kitchen, Food & Fables, a farm-table operation; fireflies gather in the riverbank trees after dark, which the property is named for.
▶ Check availability and prices now!▶ Check rates for Amorita ResortWhy choose this? Amorita Resort sits on the low limestone cliff at the western end of Alona Beach, in Barangay Tawala. That position is the whole point of the property.
Instead of competing for frontage on the busy sand below, it places its rooms and two infinity pools on the shelf above, so the view runs out over the Bohol Sea toward Balicasag rather than across other people's umbrellas.
