Alona beach panglao

Those looking for a world-class beach destination this summer need not go far to satisfy their desire for an exemplary vacation spot. They can find what they’re looking for, and much more, at Panglao Island.

Named by Travel + Leisure as one of the World’s Best Secret Beaches, Panglao Island in the province of Bohol offers guests with numerous picturesque beaches that lead to immaculate azure waters; among which is Alona. Best known for its nearly powdery-fine white sand, stretching to approximately one and a half kilometers, Alona also plays host to another gem that’s been dubbed as the “ultimate gateway to Bohol”—Amorita.

Amorita deck

Amorita is a quaint boutique resort perched on top of a cliff on one end of Alona Beach. Offering guests an array of highly-stimulating as well as relaxing activities, Amorita makes it easy for everyone to experience all the best the province has to offer.

“Amorita has always had a prominent location in the island,” shares Nikki Cauton, General Manager. “It has a location that makes it a cut above the rest. Only in Amorita can guests take in the glorious Bohol sunset from the top of a cliff or dine under the star-studded sky while enjoying the view of Alona Beach.”

With six (6) ocean villas, eight (8) garden villas and twelve (12) deluxe rooms, Amorita is an ideal travel destination that’s found the perfect balance between modern-world living and island seclusion. Its Infinity Pool and Leisure Area allow guests to enjoy an array of leisurely activities without having to leave the comfort of the resort—including book reading, board games, fooz ball, and table tennis.

Amorita is also a place where you can enjoy both authentic local and international cuisines. The resort’s Saffron Restaurant and The Deck—celebrated dining destinations—make a visit to this resort worthwhile. It offers a great selection of critically-acclaimed dishes, including genuine Boholano food and the celebrated Luy-a Degustation (Ginger-based dishes). “We believe that our guests deserve the best. And by the best, we mean distinct and unforgettable experiences that’s uniquely Boholano, yet world-class all the way,” Nikki Cauton ends.

Activities can be done in Playa De Catalina

Surfing and Skim Boarding

When the northeast winds meet with the Pacific Ocean, the waves roll out for surfers to ride and wipe out on. The waves in Playa de Catalina cater to both beginners and pros; the smaller ones that push into the shore can be used as surfing lesson venues. Larger waves that loom towards the rocks or by the designated surfer’s camp are where surfing pros can challenge themselves. For those who aren’t quite ready to surf, but want to experience the waves, skim boarding is a fun and adventurous alternative.

Kayaking and Boating

If you prefer to enjoy the ocean from a safe distance, you can charter a boat to take you beyond the shore or take a kayak out for some exercise. The boat can also take you to the nearby island for snorkeling or diving; more of the ocean’s marine life can be discovered in that area.

You can also experience the calmer side of the Ulot River by chartering a boat. The river boat tour can take you around the Playa de Catalina area, which also includes the scenic mangroves and the small communities along the stream. If you feel like visiting the town, the boat can take you Can-Avid in less than 15 minutes.
