Bluewater Panglao Beach Resort
Bluewater Panglao Beach Resort is not just a hotel; it's a luxurious escape that embodies the natural beauty of Bohol. Located along the pristine shores of Panglao Island, this resort is a veritable gem, showcasing a footprint of lush gardens and a stunning one-kilometer stretch of white sand beach. Your arrival is greeted by the intoxicating scent of mango trees, with fruit so sweet and succulent you'll ponder if you've wandered into paradise. Step into the lobby, where modern Filipino architecture converges with traditional textures, evoking a sense of place that is both welcoming and captivating. The vibrant art installations immediately draw the eye, setting the tone for the refined aesthetic throughout the property. As you meander through the grounds, you'll discover two expansive swimming pools; one designed for restful lounging under swaying palm trees, while the other invites those seeking a lively splash. Dining options are exceptional: the Aplaya Restaurant serves international cuisine infused with local flair, while Baroto bar crafts citrusy mango shakes that swirl with tropical essence.
Explore the Local Area
Positioned mere 25 km from Bohol-Panglao International Airport, Bluewater Panglao is your gateway to rich local culture and stunning natural attractions. A short stroll from the resort, the renowned Alona Beach, less than 2 km away, offers vibrant nightlife and dining options, while the tranquil Bagobo Beach is a mere 2 km journey. For a glimpse into Bohol's unique biodiversity, venture to the Tarsier Sanctuary in Corella, home to half the world's population of these endearing primates. Beyond leisure, the nearby Balicasag Island is celebrated for being one of the Philippines' best dive spots - an exhilarating experience for both novice and seasoned divers alike. With the Bohol-Panglao International Airport just a half-hour drive, the resort provides seamless access to explore the enchanting landscapes surrounding Alona Land, St. Augustine's Church, and the gentle rhythms of local life.
