In Panglao, Philippines, the Eskaya Resort welcomes you to a tropical paradise

The Philippines is an archipelago of over 7,000 islands and boasts one of the most biodiverse environments in the world. Bohol is one of these islands, famous for its "chocolate hills" and lush river forests. At the southern tip of Bohol, there is Panglao, also a small island, although connected with bridges. If you look at a map, Bohol looks like the body and Panglao the head of a turtle.The coral reef creates an ideal environment for snorkellers and divers while there are plenty of beautiful beaches for those who prefer to lie in the sun. In this wonderful combination of sea, beaches and forests, the hospitality of a luxury resort excels: the Eskaya.

The name of this luxury resort comes from the local population, a native Panglao tribe with its own customs and traditions compared to the rest of the country. The spa also includes treatments inspired by the ancient practices used by the Eskayas, such as the use of camphor leaves. A unique way to improve your well-being and get closer to the local ethnic culture.

The property covers 16 hectares of colorful tropical paradise: cliffs, caves, dense vegetation and of course kilometers of sandy coastline. From the Eskaya Resort you can also make an excursion to the island of Pamalican, with the possibility if the season is right to observe the whales, or explore the forests of Bohol in search of the very small and nice Tarsi, an animal at risk of extinction.

The architects of the Manosa group have designed the 24 splendid villas taking into account the original style of this Asian area and the history of the place, referring for example to the Spanish colonization with the Cadiz shell windows panes. The materials used are all eco-sustainable such as bamboo and local hardwood. The villas have a private swimming pool and a jacuzzi so that guests do not miss anything.

The same philosophy is applied to the exquisite kitchen of the Lantawan restaurant which uses the best and  freshest local ingredients. In short, exclusivity, privacy and impeccable service are the main characteristics of Psklao Eskaya, which however expose the guests to a risk. Do you know which one? That thay no longer want to leave ...
