[2025 Sumilon Island Hotels] Travel Guide for Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort (Updated Jul)

#timetotravel This is a wonderful and gorgeous resort. We went there for just a day and was part of our tour package including the swimming with the whale sharks in Oslob. We stayed there for a few hours, ate to fill our stomach and drank to quench our thirst. Of course we didn't just come here to eat and drink but also enjoyed the crystal clear water, the pristine beach and their infinity pool. Travel time: 4-5 hours depends on where you are starting off in Cebu. Boat Ride: Around 10 minutes from Bancogon Oslob Port Day Tour Rate: 1500 this includes the boat ride. If you want to snorkel then that is an additional fee to be paid there. Enjoy! #mytripvlog #tripblazers #island #sandbar #philippines #cebu #beachlife

Sumilon Island is a small 24 hectare coral island located off the tip of Cebu. Located in the small coastal town of Oslob and a short boat ride. This island is famous for both snorkeling, diving and enjoying the sand bar there. Sumilon Island was the second marine sanctuary to be setup in the Philippines. With Crystal clear water you can enjoy swimming and sun tanning.

Sumilon Island Cebu is located in the south of Cebu, approximately three and a half hours from the city center. You will enjoy the crystal clear water on this island; however, you must take a boat ride from Cebu's Oslob side. Before visiting this small island, we went whale shark diving. There are numerous travel agencies in and around Cebu where you can book your trip at a reasonable price. #cebutrip #tripblazers #beachlife #philippines #itsmorefuninthephilippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️

Sumilon Island is one of the best-kept secret paradises just 20 minutes by boat from the popular town of Oslob in Cebu. It’s the best day trip or overnight stay you can do when exploring the southern region of Cebu. I personally spent one night on the island at the Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort and have put together this complete guide including how to get there, where to book a day tour, where to stay on the island, and what to expect when you arrive. #naturalwonders#bestislandtraveltowns#romanticrestaurant

Went to cebu featuring moalboal, oslob, sumilon island and cebu city with their own public transportation and minimal bookings! it was a girls trip with just two of us, and it definitely felt safe traveling around. Though we did invest a bit more on accommodations this time, staying in all hotels. But our average accommodation costs were about $30 per night per head with exception for the 5-star bluewater resort - for a standalone premium suite (fits up to 4 pax), it was SGD $250 for 2 nights WITH breakfast and dinner provided! Used trip.com to book it and definitely was a steal, as we felt like we were in a love island show with stunning views and various activities to enjoy for free within the resort. Cebu city - moalboal and Oslob - moalboal is easy to commute with their public bus (Ceres les AC busses recommended for tourists for speed and comfort) with about 150 - 200 pesos per pax (< SGD $5) and takes about 4 hours for moalboal and 5 hours for oslob. Tricky commute was moalboal to oslob as you need to transfer busses. On google maps, you can find “Jolibee moalboal” or “Bus Journey to Oslob via Bato” for detailed reviews by other visitors! :) Main mode of commutes in the countryside are local tricycle scooters, often referred to as tuk tuk. In cebu city, grab is available. Each trip costs about less than 350 pesos ( ~ SGD $9) and depends on the distance. Roaming Data plans for 4G or even 5G is useless in moalboal and oslob as you can’t even get signal 60% of the time and maximum speed is LTE. However, all resorts are equipped with high speed internets surprisingly. In cebu city, 5G is available. So, cebu is definitely a great place for digital detox. Filipino cuisine is usually bursting with flavours but one place i would definitely recommend is “Smoke Stack” where they sell charcoal grilled bbq meats including lechon, their lechon baka is unlike any other, and definitely a hidden gem! They aren’t a fancy restaurant but they really focused all into the quality of the food. their pork ribs were amazing too. Its easy to commute if you put your grab destination as the shopping complex next to it “citadine cebu city”. A great place to chillax after stressful life! #travel #resorts #cebu #moalboal #oslob #beachlife #seascapes #myitinerary #localfood #getaway #sumilonisland #philipines #transport #reccomended #staycation #digitaldetox

When you go to Cebu, many people go to Oslob to see whale sharks, right? 🐋 Do you know about Sumilon Bluewater Resort, which is a 15-minute boat ride away? The entire island is owned by Bluewater Resort, so although the accommodation fee is a bit expensive, you can use it as a day-use resort without staying there! If you pay through various tour sites or apply directly by email and go to the dock, they will pick you up and drop you off on a round-trip boat for free, and you can drink water and juice whenever you feel thirsty at the restaurant as a free drink, and you can enjoy the contents of the island to your heart's content, such as the infinity pool, various beaches on the island, and kayaking in the mangrove lake. However, please note that the infinity pool is only available for day-use customers until 12:00 PM. For an additional fee, you can also enjoy scuba diving and snorkeling with a guide. The Sumilon coral reef is very beautiful and there are many fish, so snorkeling is a must. I saw a huge barracuda here too🩵 Depart from Bangkogon (port) 08:00 10:00 12:00 Depart from Sumilon Island 09:00 11:00 13:00 15:00 📍Sumilon bluewater island resort, Oslob, Cebu ☑️ 1800ph per person when booking by email #Oslob #Cebu #SumilonIsland #MarchTravelSupportEvent
