(SPOT.ph) Ah, Bantayan Island—the name itself is enough to conjure visions of white sand, blue skies, and even bluer waters. It’s the getaway destination for many groups of friends, couples, families, or even lone travelers looking for peace and the sun. It’s also quite accessible from Cebu City, being just a four-hour bus ride and a short ferry ride away.

Rates start at P2,800

Coral Blue is what you think of when you think of a cheeky island getaway. Large open spaces, bamboo furniture, and of course a loud mural for the requisite clan picture.

Rates start at P3,200

Kandugyap House by the Sea gets its name from a strong woman who was dedicated to serving the island’s community. The house itself is small and isolated, which makes it the perfect place to disconnect. The converted vacation home features a mishmash of Greek-inspired design elements as well as unmistakably Filipino ones. Think a Cebu-Santorini crossover: white walls with stark blue accents, stained bamboo railings, and heavy wooden doors with brightly colored murals of the Sto. Niño and on another, ripe carabao mangoes.

You have the option to rent a room (starts at P3,200 for two) or book the entire house (P9,900, maximum of six). Rates are inclusive of breakfast. There’s also access to a private beach and a swimming pool on site.

Rates start at P1,961

La Playa Estrella is a modern, no-frills resort. Even from the pictures alone, it’s like you can already smell the crisp white sheets of this hotel. The hints of cerulean add to that classic beachy vibe, but what really takes the cake is the string lights out front, by the beach. Just be sure to pack a tripod so you and your SO can take the perfect pic that’ll have all your friends asking if you’ve just gotten engaged.

The in-house restaurant and bar looks like a clubhouse veranda (but with a billiards table, of course!). They serve everything from shakes and burgers to pizzas, pasta, and margaritas. All you have to do is show up and you’ll have everything you need.

Carl’s is where you go when you’re ready to make a TikTok about life on an island, but still somehow want to look like you just happen to live in your friend’s low-key beach house.

Plus, the place has a spacious rooftop terrace with a view of the sea. The rooftop restaurant can also be your perch from which you send out your inspiring WFH missives.
