Alona Beach in Panglao, Bohol, never goes out of season. Stunning greenery hovering over clear, azure waters and powdery white sand soothe the soul. Its sand may not be as fine as that on Boracay, but the island offers a much more serene hideaway, almost free of litter and touts.
GORGEOUS VIEWS
Since the rise of social media, it's beyond unthinkable to not prioritize selfies and famfies over anything else! Alona Beach rose to the occasion by providing the #fambam with striking photos throughout our stay.
Hubby Bala and Bebe Tutapel braved the sun's scorching heat to capture this "golden" moment.

PEACEFUL HIDEAWAY
Boracay's electrifying energy may have awakened the #fambam's fun-loving side months before, but Bohol's laid-back nature gave us a contrasting dose of peace and serenity. There were few visitors during our stay, which made us feel that we had the island all to ourselves.

REFRESHING WATERS
Nobel Prize-winning writer Toni Morrison once said...
"All water has a perfect memory
and is forever trying to get back to where it was."
Indeed, Panglao's waters left the #fambam with a treasure trove of memories that will keep our Bohol escapade alive in years to come.
