Kota Beach Resort
Kota Beach Resort is a beachfront property on Bantayan Island with approximately twenty native-style cottages and fifteen rooms arranged together, facing east for sunrise views. The grounds include Kadlawon Restobar for dining, Kafe Beli for coffee and pastries, and Healot for massage services.
The resort was established on an island that has served as a filming location for Filipino movies, adding to its regional significance. Over time, Bantayan Island developed from a quiet local settlement into a destination for travelers seeking a peaceful retreat.
The resort's name reflects the local island culture of Bantayan, and its native-inspired design connects visitors to traditional Philippine ways of living. The cottages and rooms incorporate local materials and building styles that make this a place where guests can experience authentic regional culture firsthand.
The resort is reachable from Santa Fe port with shuttle service available if you book in advance, and the shallow, calm waters make swimming accessible for all visitors. Plan your visit for early mornings to catch the sunrise and enjoy the quieter atmosphere.
The property faces east, making it one of the few spots in the area where you can watch the sun rise directly from the sea each morning with golden light bathing the sand. This orientation is unusual among local resorts and offers a natural advantage for early risers.
