Cradled by coastal cliffs and nestled amongst the tropical greenery of the island of Bohol (The Philippines), a spectacular getaway awaits. Located in Baranggay Dao, Dauis, Panglao Island, The Bohol Bee Farm is a secret cherished and kept by visitors. Hidden, safe and unexploited, it is a sanctuary where one can escape from the complexities and trappings of modern life. 

Born from a vision and driven by passion, its owner Victoria Wallace primarily intended it as a showcase to practice and apply her beliefs and principles in using natural processes. The farm has since evolved into a popular tropical retreat, encouraging agricultural development through organic farming and introducing an alternative and sustainable lifestyle in harmony with nature.

The different structures within the 4.8 hectare site is strategically placed, while ensuring the least disruption in it’s’ surroundings. Using the natural contour of the landscape, pathways interconnect the whole facility. The outside perimeter of the farm house the different enclosed organic gardens as well as composting areas. The inside perimeter, serves as the guest housing and lounge area. 

Drawing inspiration from the honey bee (she has a bee farm with 60 colonies producing pure honey), the Colony villa, honeycomb and beehive suites offer breathtaking views of the sea and complete amenities ensuring a relaxed and comfortable stay. 

Guests have an option of invigorating their spirits by taking a dip in the two-tiered swimming pool or observe marine life in pristine habitats. Stone steps lead down the cliff to the sea and its crystal clear waters. Hammocks and lounge chairs that overlooking the sea provide a perfect backdrop to enjoy a stress-relieving massage or simply feel the caress of the fresh sea breeze.
