When you find that your world has become too small, remember that it is anything but. Travel in style to these amazing local destinations.
Henann Resort Alona Beach, Bohol
Postcard perfect, the Henann Resort is everything guests might associate with “tropical.” From uncomplicated food, an Asian-themed spa treatments, and an attentive staff, it is also known for its swimming pools (with sunken bars). Since the resort is perched on a cliff, the pools are tiered like terraces vertically; and sprawled like a public swimming complex, sans the tacky crowds. They create a dramatic setting especially at night. Guests can catch the action outside the resort without leaving the pool. Or they can just walk a few meters and quickly find their footprints on the sand. For people who love the water, it doesn’t get much better than that.

Amorita Resort, BoholÂ
Amorita is a quiet tropical enclave that glistens on top of a limestone cliff at the southern edge of Alona Beach in Bohol’s Panglao island. The options are bountiful when you go to Bohol, but with Amorita, everything is just a little more special. It has a little more attention to the detail, it gives you  a little more time to smile and relax. So after all the gallivanting and cocktails, go back to your suite, curl up on one of the bay windows, and feel a little more loved.

Two Seasons Coron Island Resort & Spa
Coron has been managed well for this long and its landscape and seascape should stay just as they are. Should they change, they should change only for the better. But how is it possible to improve on God’s design? Overall, the resort is a dream in ecological architecture, combining luxury, modernity and heritage. But what is most impressive about Two Seasons is its advocacy: eco-sustainability. Like the Tagbanua (the indigenous people in the area), Two Seasons believes in being one with nature.

Bluewater Maribago Resort, Cebu
Departing from the usual colonial-inspired luxurious establishments dotting the strip, Bluewater Maribago serves as a refreshing alternative – by allowing travelers from all races to appreciate the indigenous materials that have been majestically transformed into five-star structures and attractive tourist attractions.
