2025 Sumilon Island Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#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

#2023travelwish With the pandemic, travel restrictions have come the way. I haven't been able to travel abroad since Covid-19 pandemic started. The pandemic gave me the opportunity to explore domestically. This visit to Sumilon Island is like the best getaway for now. This destination gives the adventure while letting you escape into a place of quite solitude. I explored the island sandbar and soaked myself in its crystal water. It's been wonderful swimming so far. I hope to travel to South Korea and Japan soon. It was my plan before the pandemic happened. Would my wish come true for 2023? Hoping for the best.

My husband works online doing videos and the internet did not disappoint. Now on to the best bits... Room was so spacious and comfortable. The bathroom is on a whole other level. It’s a room all on it’s own. It seemed to me that all the rooms have a sea view. Or at least most of them. It can comfortably fit a family of 6 with extra mattresses. But is incredibly spacious for 4. The beds were so comfortable and the bathroom had a bidet! If you are looking for razors, bring your own. :) The amenities/facilities are simply breathtaking and wonderful to be a part of. Sumilon island is a marine sanctuary. They have activities that promote this. So much to do with a family. You can swim with baby sharks (black tip reef sharks), feed the fish in the lagoon area, snorkel/scuba in the marine sanctuary, swim in the ocean or pools, trekking and biking to name some.

To start off I think that the 4.5 hours of driving that I did to reach this place was worth it. The trip will let you pass some of the best beaches coastal towns of Cebu with sights that are worth visiting if you have the time. When we arrive in the holding are we were greeted by the staff and was lead to the lounge for the orientation. The staff were friendly and we received complimentary Iced tea. Here we were informed that the resort was undergoing some renovations. The main restaurant and the infinity pool are unavailable. Though I understand that it was off peak season, it was still a little disappointing to find out and we were not informed in advance. We were then ferried to the island by a boat. (Make sure that you check weather conditions when travelling here as the seas might be choppy during your travels.

Sumilon Bluewater island resort is one of the best summer resort I have visited. I love the beach, the food & the smiling staffs on the island. It is a refuge for a well deserved family outing. Trekking around the island is a revelation. Stone-edge paths, light house and the old baluarte. The sand bar at the southern tip is tantalizing with varied shapes depending on the time of the day . The water is pristinely blue & clear. I could not resist a last dip before leaving the island. A place worth going back special summer! #islandlover #islandlife #beachlove

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

Sumilon Island is a small sandbar island located just a short boat ride around from Oslob. There’s no doubt that Sumilon Island is an epic spot for spending the day relaxing, exploring and swimming in some of the clearest water in Cebu. There are several boat operators that transport tourists and locals between the mainland and Sumilon everyday. However, don’t get caught paying for a private boat. Instead, the local option is to share a boat or “banka” with others. If you’re getting a tricycle over to the boats, you can ask your driver for a cheap local boat transfer. #beaches#bestislandtraveltowns

#0yentravelautumn This Italian restaurant in the south of Cebu was so delicious... We stopped by for lunch after taking part in a whale shark tour. See the screenshot for the location. It's probably difficult to get there unless you're on a tour, but it's so delicious you should go!! You can choose as many drinks and food as you want, and the portions are big and satisfying! I ordered Margherita and Genovese pasta! The cheese on the pizza stretches so much!! It's so good you have to stand up!! The shakes were elaborate and delicious too!!

We went to Sumilon Island for a day trip. For about 2000 PHP per person, the staff will take you to the island on a boat. We didn't stay overnight, but most of the resort facilities are clean, well-built, and have a level of luxury and comfort that makes it comfortable to enjoy even on a day trip. The sea was also crystal clear and clean, and many tourists were enjoying themselves. It was fun to walk around the island, the scenery was beautiful, and I wish we could have gone hiking. It's definitely one of Cebu's day trips to try! #0 yen trip
