The Enviroment:
Eskaya Beach Resort & Spa is a beautiful resort-spa in Panglao Island which is at the southernmost tip of Bohol, Philippines. It is located halfway through Panglao along its coast facing Bohol Sea. It is a sprawling property which covers 16 hectares. Topography of the resort is varied. It has a gradually ascending cliff, flat land, a ravine, caves and has a commanding view of the sea. On the higher ground of the resort, you can view a mountain with lush vegetation. Down the beach is a long stretch of white, powdery sand up to 5 kilometers, 600 meters of which is part of Eskaya Beach Resort & Spa.
The name Eskaya refers to the only known indigenous people of Bohol.
The resort is boutique in style which accounts for its exclusivity. Architecture of the building is decidedly Filipino with a splash of modern amenities. The thatched villas or “balai” in the dialect, are single-detached. These are built with sturdy construction materials, but the ample use of indigenous materials for finishing like bamboo, cogon, and wood is emphasized. Most of the villas have individual private swimming pools.
Being Responsible
The Philippine Tarsier (Tarsius syrichta or Carlito syrichta), is an endangered species of tarsier endemic to the Philippines. It is found in the southeastern part of the archipelago, particularly in the islands of Bohol Island, Samar Island, Leyte Island and Mindanao. It is a member of the approximately 45 million year old family Tarsiidae, whose name is derived from its elongated "tarsus" or ankle bone.
On September 13, 1991, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), per DENR Administrative Order Number 48 or DAO 48, listed the Philippine Tarsier as an endangered species: species and subspecies of wildlife whose populations are in danger of extinction and whose survival is unlikely if the causal factors continue operating.
The Philippine Tarsier is listed in Appendix II of CITES,[27] and the U.S. ESA classifies it as threatened.
The resort will be opening its own Tarsier sanctuary inside the resort itself.
The Wellness Choice
Handuraw Spa is a big come-on at Eskaya. The spa is tranquil yet modern. It offers a gracious fusion of traditional therapies and modern spa technology, a melting pot of Asian healing practices and rich European spa traditions.
How you will eat
You have several choices where to dine at Eskaya. Lantawan Restaurant has a cool feeling yet with a warm ambience. It is facing the Infinity Swimming Pool & the royal blue sea beyond.
You can dine alfresco at the poolside while gazing the moon & the stars. Dining is best during full moon when you can have an unobstructed view of the moon playing with the clouds & you can marvel at the moonshine in the waters beyond.
Beachfront dining is best with a bonfire & the smell of the food grills just in front of you. Other choices for dining are the seaside decks where you can have privacy. There is nothing better during breakfast than watching birds fly by in the gardens. For those who opt for more seclusion, we offer in-villa dining.
