Thinking of Going to Isla Naburot?

Working so hard can be disconcerting and there are times when you want to be away, experience tranquility, and just shut everything out.

These days, there is the longing for a quiet place where we could enjoy the Power of the Now.

One island comes to mind: Isla Naburot in Guimaras Island. The island-resort is on a privately-owned island in Jordan, a 20-minute boat ride from Iloilo.

Isla Naburot is not your usual commercial, run-of-the-mill beach resort. In fact, the owners prefer that it remains exclusive and only caters to the high-end market. The beach houses are a tapestry of salvaged materials from pre-war houses and old churches, which are tastefully assembled into relaxing cottages. If you are looking for peace, this place will offer you exactly that and then some. There is no electicity in the island, only kerosene lamps at night, and that makes it unique among its counterparts.

We didn’t stay overnight on this island so I couldn’t really comment on the food. However, according to people who have gone there, it’s great.
