Why Moalboal

Come for the reef, stay somewhere that feels like home

Moalboal is small enough to see on a motorbike and busy enough to keep you fed every night. The house sits in the middle of it.

    Panagsama Beach

    The sardine run is right off the shore here, and sea turtles feed in the shallows. Dive shops, bars and restaurants line the beach road, so dinner is a short walk after a swim.

    Basdaku White Beach

    The long white sand beach where families spend the day. Go early for calm water, come back to the house for a shower and a nap.

Everyday needs

Close to everything, quiet at night

Everyday needs are close: the market, the bus stop and Jollibee are 5 to 8 minutes away, and a sari-sari store, O! Save Mart, a gas station and a coffee spot are within walking distance. The house is about 100 meters from the main road, far enough to stay quiet.
