The Philippines' Resorts and Beaches: Eskaya Resort & Spa in Panglao Island, Bohol

Peacefully nestled in a private yet accessible spot in Panglao Island in Bohol, Eskaya Beach Resort & Spa has its own 600-meter white beachfront and sprawling 16-hectare lot. The Eskaya Beach Resort & Spa breathes life into you with its awe-inspiring mountain and superb sea views, exclusive resort-spa amenities, good food and excellent services.

The name Eskaya refers to the only known indigenous people of Bohol. The resort is in Panglao Island which is at the southernmost tip of Bohol. It is located halfway through Panglao along its coast facing Mindanao Sea. It is a sprawling property which covers 16 hectares. Topography of the resort is varied. It has a gradually ascending cliff, flat land, a ravine, caves and has a commanding view of the sea. On the higher ground of the resort, you can view a mountain with lush vegetation. Down the beach is a long stretch of white, powdery sand up to 5 kilometers, 600 meters of which is part of Eskaya Beach Resort & Spa.

The resort is boutique-style which accounts for its exclusivity. Architecture of the building is decidedly Filipino with a splash of modern amenities. The thatched villas or "balai" in the dialect, are single-detached. These are built with sturdy construction materials, but the ample use of indigenous materials for finishing like bamboo, cogon, and wood is emphasized.

The center of attraction of the resort is the infinity swimming pool which definitely blends with the sea at its bluest. The spacious restaurant has a cool feeling, yet with a warm ambience and plenty of sea view and swimming pool view. Dining can also be at the beach al fresco, at the poolside, and in the garden.

Dining is a pleasure at Eskaya Beach Resort & Spa. The cuisine offers a selection of Filipino best-sellers. You can dine under the moon and the stars, al fresco, or simply enjoy the warm ambience of Lantawan Restaurant. Refresh yourself with coolers by the poolside while gazing at the sunset, or into each other's eyes.
