Bantayan Island Nature Park and Resort  

Tucked into Tami-ao on Bantayan Island, north of Cebu. Near the beach and about 10 minutes by car from Santa Fe Ferry Terminal. A family-friendly, pet-friendly 8-hectare nature hideaway a short drive from Bantayan Public Plaza and Saints Peter and Paul Parish.

This wellness-and-leisure resort grew from a family vacation spot into an 8-hectare reforested park with caves, pocket gardens and secluded nooks. It houses the island's biggest spring-fed cave pool and the largest swimming pool on Bantayan. Guests can stroll cliff-side white sand, try rare shellfish picking (“manginhas”), and wake to a chorus of birds. There are 20 guestrooms with private balconies or patios, air conditioning, showers with bidets, in-room safes, complimentary bottled water and daily housekeeping.

Stand-out features include the spring-fed cave pool, large outdoor pool, outdoor tennis court, bicycles to rent, picnic and BBQ areas, a library and a massage room. Beach access offers snorkeling, kayaking, boating and island-hopping via the tour desk. Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking is available—perfect for sea-breeze mornings and slow, nature-first days.

Wi‑Fi available on site, free self-parking, airport shuttle and transfers available on request (surcharge). Front desk staffed during limited hours; concierge, laundry and safe-deposit box services are offered.

Tañon Point is the poolside restaurant with ocean views serving Filipino cuisine and local flavors. The resort also has a bar and café; breakfast is available for a fee and room service runs during limited hours.
