Finding Serenity in Santa Fe: A Look Inside Sunrise Beach Resort, Bantayan Island

by - 3:14 AM

There is something deeply therapeutic about the way the morning light hits the northern coast of Cebu. If you have ever stepped off the ferry in Santa Fe, you already know the distinct feeling of the island breeze welcoming you back—and that is exactly how our barkada (Sinjin and Ethelbert) felt the moment we arrived. Bantayan has always been that reliable escape for people looking to trade heavy city traffic for fine, powdery white sand.

On a recent look around C. Batiancila Street, we found a spot that perfectly captures this laid-back charm, Sunrise Beach Resort.

For travelers who want the luxury of stepping right from their room straight onto the shore, this beachfront haven offers exactly that. It is tucked away just enough to give you a genuinely peaceful atmosphere, yet it remains incredibly accessible. When you stay here, you are only a short, casual stroll away from the heart of Santa Fe town center. This means you can easily spend your afternoon lounging by the ocean and your evening exploring the local eateries, lively bars, and souvenir shops without worrying about a long tricycle ride back.

The Beachfront Family Villa Experience

Finding a good beachfront accommodation that fits a small group without breaking the bank can be a bit of a challenge in popular island destinations. Sunrise Beach Resort solves this with its Beachfront Family Villa.

The villa is thoughtfully set up to accommodate a base group of four guests, making it ideal for a barkada trip or a family weekend getaway. It features an air-conditioned space with one bunk bed and two double beds, ensuring everyone gets a comfortable spot to rest after a day under the sun.

The room rates are quite straightforward and offer flexible options depending on your morning preferences:

  • Room Only: Php 3,900 per night (perfect if you want to explore the local breakfast spots in town)

  • With Breakfast: Php 4,500 per night (highly recommended if you prefer waking up and eating right by the water)

If you are traveling with a larger group, you do not necessarily have to book an entire second room. The villa allows up to a maximum of seven guests. Additional heads are charged at Php 800 per night without breakfast, or Php 1,000 per night inclusive of breakfast.
