Nestled on the east coast of the Philippines’ Albay province, Bacacay is a beautiful beach holiday destination. Far less well known than Boracay or Palawan, the island promises an appealing sense of tranquility — as well as a plethora of water sports for active travellers to enjoy. Accommodation options are increasingly wide-ranging, with simple guesthouses as well as bustling beach resorts amongst the best places to stay in Bacacay.
Explore the island to admire pristine Pacific Ocean beaches, lush landscapes and breathtaking views towards the cone-shaped Mayon Volcano. Keen hikers and mountain bikers will find ample opportunities to weave their way along the coastline or into the region’s verdant interior. Swim in crystal clear waters at Punta Beach or San Vicente, discover craggy caves on boat trips to nearby Cagraray Island, or dive and snorkel stunning Sogod Bay.
If you’re eager to experience authentic Filipino culture, take the time to step into centuries-old churches, join traditional festivals or savour delicious cuisine at friendly, family-owned eateries. Whether you’re dreaming of soaking up the sunshine poolside or zipping across the sand on ATVs from one of the best places to stay in Bacacay, you’re certainly in for a holiday to remember!
