Explore Bohol from Alburquerque
Bohol is one of the Philippines' most-visited islands, and in May 2023 it became the country's first UNESCO Global Geopark — home to the 1,268 mounded Chocolate Hills, the tiny Philippine tarsier, coral-stone Spanish-era churches, and some of the Visayas' best diving. Alburquerque sits quietly on Bohol's south coast, right between Baclayon and Tagbilaran City — close enough to the ferry ports and beaches, but away from the busiest tourist strip. Travel times below are approximate road estimates, not exact minute-by-minute figures.
Alburquerque itself
Right hereAlburquerque is known locally for its centuries-old artisanal salt makers, who still hand-smoke "Asin Tibuok" (a rare coconut-shell sea salt) using traditional methods. The town's Santa Monica Parish Church and quiet coastal streets are an easy stroll from the property.
Bohol's south coast is known for its food traditions
Calamay
A sticky, caramel-like sweet made from coconut milk, brown sugar, and glutinous rice — a Bohol specialty often sold in half coconut shells at local markets.
Asin Tibuok
A traditional Boholano sea salt, hand-smoked over coconut husks by artisans in Alburquerque itself — one of the few places in the country where it's still made.
