With its idyllic islands, beautiful beaches and captivating culture, the Philippines is a heavenly destination for honeymoons. All across this amazing archipelago, couples can discover private places to unwind and enjoy shared experiences, from sensational snorkeling and offshore excursions to jungle treks and memorable meals.
One island that exudes an atmosphere of romantic adventure is Panglao. Nestled off the coast of Bohol and connected to its larger neighbor by a pair of bridges, this enchanting isle is famed for its powder-soft sand, turquoise seas and vibrant lagoons. Perfectly positioned next to Alona Beach, with stunning ocean-facing suites, jacuzzi balconies, cozy cabanas, a sparkling swimming pool and more, Best Western Plus The Ivywall Resort-Panglao is ideal for exotic escapes.
Here is our selection of the best things for couples to see and do in Panglao…
Take immersive excursions to some of the area’s most spectacular dive sites and enjoy close encounters with oceanic giants like whale sharks and manta rays. For non-divers, there are plenty of superb snorkeling spots closer to shore that teem with colorful fish.
Panglao Reef Flat is a tropical wonderland of warm seas, uninhabited islets and shimmering marine life. One of the area’s main attractions is Virgin Island, a sublime strip of sand that emerges from the crystal clear seas to create the ultimate castaway experience.
This beautiful 1.5km stretch of coastline is famed for its fine, white sand and calm, shallow sea. Popular with sun-seekers, snorkelers and water sports enthusiasts during the day, it is also home to plenty of beachside bars and restaurants for alfresco dining and sunset drinks.
Cross the bridge to the main island of Bohol and take a serene cruise down the Loboc River. Enclosed by lush jungle on both banks, this peaceful journey lets travelers unwind together and revel in the breath-taking natural beauty, while also savoring local delicacies onboard.
No trip to Bohol is complete without a visit to the Chocolate Hills. This otherworldly landscape of peaks stretches as far as the eye can see, and has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Astounding and inspiring, it is a visual memory to be treasured forever.
