Weekend Spot: These Under-the-Radar Villas in Panglao Are Perfect for Your Next Relaxing Beach Getaway

(SPOT.ph) With the new year comes more vacation leaves, and with more leaves comes the opportunity to travel and get away from the daily grind. One of the top-of-mind destinations we have for the upcoming year is the island paradise of Bohol. With its pristine beaches, unique topography, delicious eats, and rich culture, Bohol is a prime destination for those looking for a fun and fulfilling trip out of the Metro. Most of the island's accommodations would lead you to the bustling beach area of Alona Beach, but if you're looking for a slower, more relaxing vibe for your trip, away from the party scene and the tourist traps, you may want to consider booking a stay with Islandview Holiday Villas.

Check out these relaxing villas perfect for your next Bohol getaway:

Islandview Holiday Villas are a group of standalone rustic tropical-style airconditioned cottages located at the more quiet beach area of Libaong. Perched on top of a hill, the villas have a magnificent view of the pristine beach and ocean views of the two-minute walk-away beachside. Away from the noise and parties of Alona beach, guests at the villas can experience maximum peace and relaxation as they explore this lesser-known part of Panglao island. 

Each villa has its own lounge, dining area, kitchenette, bathroom, and entertainment area. The cottages have two floors. Guests can lounge around and rest at each villa's upstairs queen bed, while those traveling in bigger groups can convert the downstairs area to additional sleeping quarters. 

Hoping to tour around Bohol island while staying at Islandview Holiday Villas? No worries, the hosts/owners will gladly assist you in booking the tours you want to avail. Despite being away from Alona Beach, this accommodation is still not that far of a deviation from the island's many famous attractions and food haunts. A quick tricycle or car ride can bring you to Alona Beach, Bohol Bee Farm, and many other tourist spots.

But if you're the type to maximize your stay at the accommodations, no worries. You'll still have a blast at the villas' common areas, like the pool and the pool bar area, where you can hang out with your friends or meet other guests. 

But if you're more into seeing the natural beauty of the island, a quick two-minute walk from the property will land you on the beach with fine sand and calm waters. Heck, there are even corals and fish right by the beach that makes for an excellent snorkeling spot that even most locals don't know of.
