The resort accepts both short and long-term stay in their spacious rooms and houses. In fact, they also accommodate day visitors and guests who just want to have a nice day break.

The resort is co-owned by both local and foreign entrepreneurs - a Filipino and Norwegian origins.

Interestingly, the resort is named from the combination of both national origins.

‘Strand’ is the Norwegian word for ‘beach’, while at the same time it tells stories about the ancient saga of Scandinavian and Germanic history, such as the Vikings’ adventures and travels using their popular Viking ships.

Aside from the basic facilities, Sagastrand offers more interesting facilities and rentals for its guests and visitors with various purposes and backgrounds.

Bicycles & motorbikes
One of the best ways to enjoy Olango Island is to take a ride with either a bicycle or motorbike if you prefer, which actually enjoyed very much.

Since there are not many cars and other huge vehicles on the island, you are a lot safer to ride with such transports. besides, renting a bicycle or a motorbike is a lot cheaper than renting cars and you have the freedom to rest and stop by anywhere.

Seeing the islands belong to Olango Island groups and watching the island itself in a distance is a great experience to be had.

This activity is commonly called ‘island hopping’ by locals and visitors alike. The resort itself has its own outrigger boat enough to accommodate a big group - around 20 people.
