Tañon Strait Resort

Santander · Southern Cebu

Still water, warm pool, room to breathe.

Beach and pool retreat in Santander, at the southern tip of Cebu — sunset swims, quiet gardens, and calm water.

Welcome to the strait side

Set on the Tañon Strait — the deep, protected channel between Cebu and Negros, where dolphin pods pass and Negros sits visible across the water — our small resort pairs a sunset infinity pool with direct beach access and quiet grounds.

Swim, eat, rest. Everyone is welcome here — we're listed as LGBTQ+ friendly, and we mean it in the everyday way: warm, simple hospitality and space to be.

  • Pool

    Sunset swims in the infinity pool, slow mornings by the water.

  • Dining & Lounge

    Open dining room and shaded lounge for long, unhurried meals.

  • Calm

    Quiet gardens and sea breeze — a reset, not a party scene.

The strait is the stay

Tañon Strait is the deep-water channel between Cebu and Negros — not a postcard shallow, but living water you face every morning.

  • Dolphins and whales

    Pods cross the deep channel — on calm mornings you can watch from the water's edge.

  • Protected seascape

    The country's largest marine protected seascape, sheltered water as far as you can see.

  • Negros across the water

    At this narrow crossing, the volcanic Negros coastline sits visible across the strait.
