Bluewater Panglao Resort, hotel in Manila, Philippines
Bluewater Panglao Resort is a hotel on Panglao Island in the Philippines with direct access to a white-sand beach. The property spreads across large grounds with gardens, two lagoon-shaped pools, rooms of various layouts, and restaurants serving local and international dishes.
The resort was built in 2011 and has since become part of the local community on the island. It developed into a popular retreat for travelers seeking peace and natural beauty, while the island itself has preserved its history and traditional ways of life.
The name reflects its location: Bluewater refers to the clear sea, while Panglao is the island itself. Visitors experience the relaxed pace of island life here, where people spend time with family, enjoy fresh seafood, and value the slow rhythm of the local community.
The resort is about 45 minutes by car from Bohol-Panglao Airport and offers free transfers. Visitors can easily rent a scooter or walk to reach nearby attractions such as Alona Beach or the Chocolate Hills.
The resort features two lagoon-shaped pools surrounded by trees that create a sense of privacy. This distinctive pool design is less commonly seen and adds to a more natural swimming experience.
