A whale shark swimming in clear blue water with a snorkeler beside it

Whale shark and dolphin footage from Cebu waters — not filmed at the resort. The same wildlife passes the Tañon Strait, but sightings are never guaranteed. Ask us what we have seen lately.

Welcome to the strait side

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

  • Protected seascape

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

  • Whale sharks and dolphins

    Whale sharks are seen in these waters and dolphin pods cross the deep channel. Sightings are never guaranteed — ask us what we have seen lately.

  • Negros across the water

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

Pool, food, and quiet grounds

Swim, eat, rest. Everyone is welcome here — we're listed as LGBTQ+ friendly.

  • 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.
