Picturesque views and stylish decor: This Panglao resort is the perfect escape
More than the astounding views of nature, one important factor that will make your perfect vacation is where you’ll stay.
Traveling is one of the best ways to escape from the city's fast-paced life. After years of spending your time meeting deadlines after deadlines, it is important to make up for your much-awaited (and needed) break.
One such destination that will bring you to paradise is Bohol—the island of pristine beaches, good food, and amazing views of nature—specifically at Solea Coast Resort.
Situated along the stunning shore of Panglao island, this resort is just 15 minutes away from the airport, saving you time and energy from traveling by land.
It first opened its doors in November 2021, offering unique and top-tier amenities and services that instantly make guests of all ages feel the much-needed ease and comfort.
Solea boasts aesthetic décor perfectly blends with the natural picturesque view of the beach. Every corner is photogenic, worthy of a spot on your Instagram feed.
The bedroom is a haven. Each room has a private balcony with a straight-out-of-a-postcard view. It has two spacious (and very soft!) beds, a safety box, a mini ref, a TV, a vanity area, and complimentary toiletries and snacks for your royalty-like stay.
Committed to giving you an extraordinary experience, Solea aims to take your dining experience to greater heights by offering a wide variety of options for food—perfect for adventurous and picky eaters.
"We provide a safe haven for our guests, where they can enjoy luxurious amenities without the drawbacks,” Gothong said, highlighting that they are committed to bringing “good and personalized service,” to each of their guests.
“[This is] what makes us unique: We treat this like our own home, we make sure that people come back. We want them to feel like it's their second home or, even better, their own home," Gothong added.
The resort is also near Bohol's famous sandbar of the Virgin Islands and Alona Beach—which is just a 10-minute drive away, allowing you to enjoy further its pristine waters and local food, like the famous ice cream from Bohol Bee Farm. It is also a 15 to 20-minute boat ride away to the beautiful island of Balicasag, one of the best places to do snorkeling and diving.
Missing the fun bars in the metro? You can still grab yourself your favorite martini or mimosa by the poolside bar. Or if you crave nature’s astounding views, head over to their newly opened Salt and Sky bar, Bohol’s first-ever rooftop bar. Let your worries go away and relax with a drink.

More than these great amenities, what makes Solea a home away from home is the warmth guests receive from its staff. During your stay, expect to be greeted with their smiles if ever you run into them in hallways, elevators, or lounge areas.
“One thing that always hinders people from going out is that [they always think] ‘it’s too expensive’” Gothong said, adding, "But for our resort, we don’t offer such, we give really great value for your money.”
“There's no reason not to travel anymore."
