Bluish Blue Corals Beach Resort

Blue Corals Beach Resort is a beautiful resort located on an elevated rocky corner of Malapascua Island. It is so conveniently located that you have the vantage point to see the vast sea, surrounding islands and enjoy the sunset.

It offers quality services and exceptional facilities to all beach lovers and holidaymakers on this amazing island. Not being spared by the Typhoon (Haiyan), Blue Corals Beach Resort has suffered some structural damages but was able to recover quickly and has since back to business offering relaxing accommodation and services.

It offers furnished and spacious accommodations with great views towards the white beach and turquoise sea. Opening your windows is just like seeing the world with new eyes and discovering many things you have never seen before – in a new perspective.

This resort hotel offers spacious rooms and bungalows. You can choose from an air conditioned or electric fun furnished accommodation. Showers, balconies, and terraces are available depending on your choice.

They have a restaurant that offers delicious international and local dishes. There is an outdoor bar where you can enjoy the sea view, and a WiFi service (free!) if you need to get updated or wants to make your friends jealous of what you are doing or where you are at the moment!

The reception service is available 24/7, and so you do not need to worry whenever or whatever time of day you arrive. If you prefer, Blue Corals  Resort can arrange your transfer between Cebu (or Mactan-Cebu International Airport)

Bounty Beach, Malapascua Island

The Island and Distance
Located at the northernmost tip of mainland Cebu, Malapascua is just around 15-minute ride by boat from Daanbantayan Town. To get to this town, coming from Cebu City, you can take a bus that will take around less than four hours. Malapascua is a small island with only 2.5 kilometers long and 1-kilometer wide total land area.

Short update of typhoon
Malapascua Island is one of those places hit the hardest by Haiyan Typhoon (locally called ‘Yolanda’) in November 2013. Thank God that not many people were hurt severely. However, the structures and infrastructures (resorts, houses, communications and other facilities) were heavily damaged, and rebuilding took some time. Despite the destruction caused by the typhoon, locals and other residents (including expats) worked together to rebuilt the beautiful island and restarted their livelihood.

Now, many of the islanders have recovered, back to normal life and the businesses have since reopened to local and international visitors. Plants, including farm crops, trees, and coconuts are being planted and doing the usual routine among farmers. Since most folks live on fishing, they are back to catching fish again on a daily basis for either family consumption or for vending in the markets.

Now that we know they are back to business, let’s check out what Blue Corals Resort and Malapascua Island is offering…

Bantigue Cove, Malapascua Island

Exciting water activities & adventures

There are some exciting activities and not-so-active things you can enjoy with on this island. Just pick any that suits your style and taste and depending on your openness to experience an adventure or things you have never done in your life. Of course, you may also ask advice from your resort for any suitable activity. Whichever you may pick, please try scanning some available offers they or the island has…

Snorkeling
If you have not learned the hard and challenging scuba diving, you can still enjoy the underwater marine life in a somewhat limited way. You can go snorkeling the reefs close to Blue Corals Beach Resort’s beach and the surroundings of whole island. Moreover, the great thing is that you can also snorkel somewhere else if you hire a boat for a more exciting adventure. For example, you can arrange a boat that will bring you to another island or islet with white beach and where you can snorkel, have picnic and enjoy the day.

Island Hopping
By island hopping, you can visit the more secluded white island where you can spend a day doing fun activities or inactivities. You can snorkel, swim, sunbath, and then have your barbecue right on the beach of any island you have chosen. Some services will include your rental and the food and drinks depending on the arrangement you want to make. The most famous islands for a day’s trip are Carnasa Island and Calangaman Island, where visitors would enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and enjoy their picnic with seafood barbecue and drinks.

Walking Around the Island
This is an interesting way of exploring the whole island’s wholeness. It takes about 3 hours or much long to circumnavigate the island. You can do this as one of your travel experiences. While exploring, you can find secluded bays, various tropical plants and flowers, meet locals and learn some of their environment. I  have not done it (yet), but I really want that next time around. During my first visit on the island, I just hired a motorbike to bring me to places I so wanted to see since I did not have much time then.

Scuba Diving
If you are a diver, Malapascua’s beautiful underwater world is all yours. Blue Corals does not run a dive center but close to one – Thresher Shark Dive Shops – with whom they partner with. Just make your request at the Front Desk, and it will be arranged for you.

The thresher sharks and manta rays are one of the most breathtaking beauties in Malapascua among avid scuba divers. Mona Shoal is where scuba divers go to observe the thresher sharks and manta rays, among other exotic marine life. Many diver experts say that it is the only place in the world, so far, that a diver can reliably see thresher sharks.
Now, let’s check out some of the important things that you need while enjoying the island and your holiday…
