Summer is hot on our heels and a relaxing, yet adventurous retreat is the best elucidation for the respite-hungry nerves. Of course, it would be nice to literally test the waters via beaches and resorts, which are in-demand in this time of year. However, such getaways could turn out a “get-a-waste” if you are just alone in the summer’s heat. Yes, you have to share it with someone special, especially if the season’s blaze leads you to something amorous and intimate. Now, the best place to have this kind of getaway is located at the environs of Bohol province... the Bohol Beach Club (BBC).  

Setting it up 

Nestled in the island paradise of Panglao in the province of Bohol, BBC is such a perfect haven for intimate, tender encounters and romantic getaways.  With its vast expanse of fine, powdery white sand emblazoned several meters off the shallow shores, the beach club could be reached by plane in two hours by Manila to Tagbilaran airport. You can also reach it from Mactan by air in 25 minutes. By fast ferry, Bohol is just an hour and a half away from Cebu. To make the story short, getting there is an absolute convenience.

Under the sun’s rays 

After getting there, sitting around shorelines and getting a tan is not advisable because breaching through the boundaries of the white (sand) reveal the gratifying adventure that you and your “significant other” would enjoy.

Imagine what you are getting: you can plunge into Bohol’s deep trenches and explore the world-renowned and well-preserved dive spots such as Balicasag Island and Pamilacan Island; go skinny dipping via enrolling to a beginner course in diving and if you’re already an expert, try snorkeling and glass bottom boat cruising; time to get physical by working your heart out by playing (together as a team or just a playful mano-a-mano) beach volleyball, tennis, canoeing, kayaking, pedalboat, banana boat, billiards, backgammon, table tennis etc; intensify the bond in an enormous 1.4 km white, powderfine private beach, swimming pool, outdoor jacuzzi and revitalize it while administered to a relaxing massage by the beach.  

Aside from the things that BBC is offering, you and your important one can also take a glance of the place by city touring and island hopping; enjoy the seasonal dolphin-whale watching, street dance to the groove of July’s beat by participating in the Sandugo Festival and have an ocular and the cerebral satisfaction by locating and learning Bohol’s sights and wonders such as the Baclayon Church, Loboc River, Hinagdanan Cave, Chocolate Hills and spotting tarsiers, diverse butterfly species and flying lemurs. 

Chilling it out 

If going out and splashing to the waves is an absolute adventure here in BBC, taking a breather in its guest rooms would absolutely soothe your sun-baked bodies after a long but daring day under the sun. Sixty-seven comfortable rooms are situated in the area to make you forget that you are away from home for a while. Furthermore, these rooms still open to a picturesque view of the pristine beach, complete with powderfine white sand and the pacifying blue waters, and contain house-like amenities (i.e., television, air conditioning unit, bedroom, hot and cold shower plus bath tubs and a lot more) that can help you feel the comfort of your own home at the shore. 

Probably you are itching to go to the place to witness the hype unfurl in your very eyes. If you want to know more, you can come at Bohol Beach Club, Bo.
