Description of Surrounding Area

A two hour drive south of Cebu City, Badian is easily accessible year round from Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, Manila, San Francisco, Frankfurt, and other major world cities.

Badian Island sits astride colorful coral reefs that are teeming with marine life. The island is quiet, private, safe, and romantic with a fresh ocean breeze and starry nights. The villa and cottage, which overlook the ocean, are about a 20 minute boat ride from Moalboal. Moalboal hosts a number of world-class PADI dive schools, as well as numerous restaurants and pubs. For golfers, the main town of Badian is home to the Cebu International Golf and Resort.

Our family has property overlooking the ocean with a five-bedroom villa and a one-bedroom cottage for rent. Villa and cottage are both air conditioned, with kitchen, refrigerator, cable TV, and other amenities. BBQ grills are available as well. Main shortcoming at current time is lack of internet access, unless you're equipped with a PDA/Blackberry. Plans are in place to get hooked up with DSL. The affordable vacation spot is ideal for:

-- Scuba divers, either beginners or advanced
-- Romantic get-aways
-- School breaks
-- Adventurers
-- Writers
-- Golfers
