Panglao Bluewater is a blueprint for the future, creating an escape that honors Bohol’s natural beauty. Nestled in an island with white-sand beaches, pristine waters and marine sanctuaries, the resort’s Filipino architecture and design complement Bohol’s culture, inherent warm hospitality and eco-focused initiatives. The challenge was to introduce a unique design concept that will match well with the environment. Wat the resort came up with is organic yet elegant, innovative and functional. According to designer, Benji Reyes, “There is a feel of luxurious sophistication but not ‘stuffy.’ The atmosphere is kept friendly, comfortable and warm.” Rooms: 86 Rooms (32 Deluxe, 46 Premier Deluxe Pool-view, 4 Family Lofts, 3 Honeymoon Villas and 1 Family Villa) Dining: Aplaya Restaurant (International and authentic local fare, featuring exotic flavors made fresh with local products).
