Exploring Badian Island Resort and Spa

Holistic.Wellness. Lifestyle. These three words describe the Badian Island Resort and Spa says owner and designer Hartwig Scholz. If you’re looking for a luxurious place that offers healthy lifestyle living set in an elegant but natural landscape and topped with genuinely friendly service, look no further than Badian Island Resort and Spa.

Badian Island Resort and Spa sits right on Badian Island (hence the name) situated off the coast of Southern Cebu. A three-hour scenic drive from Cebu City will take you to a small pier in the Municipality of Badian where a resort boat awaits. From there, it is about ten minutes by boat to the famous island.

The islet faces the town of Badian and is known to many local fishermen. However, it was not until the end of 1970s that the enterprising Mr. Scholz discovered the islet and saw a business opportunity. The rest, as they say, is history. Badian Island is known the world over as a world-class rustic island resort.
