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.
Sports activities include beach volleyball, badminton, ping pong (table tennis) and water sports like jet-ski ride, snorkelling, etc. Guests can also play chess or scrabble.
Eskaya Beach Resort & Spa is in Barangay Tawala, located on the north-west part of Panglao Island
in the province of Bohol, Philippines.
Via Tagbilaran City from Manila:
You can take a short one-hour plane ride
from Manila to Tagbilaran City, the capital of Bohol province. Then, we will take care of the twenty-five minute land travel to the resort.
Via Cebu City's Cebu International Airport in Mactan Island:
From Mactan Island, a ten-minute drive will take you to Cebu seaport; then, the ninety-minute fast ferry-ride to Tagbilaran seaport. From there, we will pick you up for the twenty-five minute land trip to Eskaya Beach Resort & Spa.
From the outside, the single-detached villas look rustic and simple. Their thatched cogon roof, and the creative use of bamboo and wood make you feel transported to another age when one had more time for life's simple pleasures. But once you enter, all the comforts of a warm Filipino home, enhanced by today's modern pleasures welcome you.
