Bohol — Tucked away in the lush greenery of Barangay Camayaan, Loboc River Resort offers a serene escape that feels worlds apart from the bustling beach crowds of Panglao. Spanning 14 hectares of pristine jungle, this 3-star eco-tourism destination is famous for its collection of 35 native-style cottages built on stilts, connected by charming wooden boardwalks that wind through the forest and over the water. By limiting its physical footprint to just three hectares, the resort ensures that the surrounding ecosystem remains undisturbed, allowing guests to immerse themselves in a sanctuary where wild birds, monkeys, and flowing emerald waters take center stage. Whether you are seeking a peaceful weekend of meditation or a family adventure into the heart of Bohol, this resort provides a rare, sustainable harmony between comfort and the untamed wild.
A Haven for Adventure and Relaxation
The resort is a playground for nature lovers, offering direct access to the Loboc River right from its private docks. Guests can spend their mornings kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) down the calm river, or join guided firefly-watching boat tours once the sun sets. On-site, the resort keeps the spirit of adventure alive with a 10-hectare trekking path, fishing spots, and a daily 4:30 PM "Resort Orientation Tour," where visitors can feed local farm animals and visit the famous "Monkey Island," a dedicated refuge for rescued primates. For those needing to unwind, the infinity pool—which overlooks the river—and the "Zen Island" wellness area provide the perfect backdrop for a restorative body massage amidst the sounds of the jungle.
Dining and Sustainable Hospitality
Dining at the resort is an experience in itself at Venia’s Kitchen, an open-air riverside restaurant that bridges the gap between local Boholano flavors and international comfort food. The restaurant is a popular spot for guests and visitors alike, particularly during their daily Happy Hour (4:00 PM – 7:00 PM), which features a "Buy One, Take One" promotion on cocktails that perfectly complements the golden hour light over the water. Beyond the food, the resort’s commitment to sustainability—including the use of solar energy and the preservation of native flora—adds a layer of purpose to every stay. Guests are consistently impressed by the warmth of the local staff, who are not only attentive but deeply knowledgeable about the surrounding environment, making the hospitality feel just as natural as the scenery.
