Situated in the Visayan Sea, off the northwestern coast of Cebu Province, Bantayan Island is one of the key tourist destinations in northern Cebu. Separated from the province’s mainland by the Tañon Strait, it is the largest of the Bantayan archipelago and hosts three municipalities — Santa Fe, Madridejos, and Bantayan, its namesake. Santa Fe, covering the southeastern portion, is the center of tourism on the island.
The white sand beaches and the laidback vibe make it an ideal vacation spot for those who want to escape the crowd. The popular ones are Santa Fe Beach, Kota Beach, Sugar Beach, and Paradise Beach. Other points of interest are Ogtong Cave, Bantayan Church, The Ruins, and its neighboring Virgin Island.
For adrenaline junkies out there, don’t worry! Thrilling activities like kite surfing and tandem skydiving are offered on the island, particularly in Santa Fe. From Cebu City’s North Bus Terminal, the travel time to Hagnaya Port is about four hours, while the ferry ride to Santa Fe Port in Bantayan is over an hour.
Exploring the northern parts of the province? If you are gunning for a holiday on Bantayan Island in Cebu, here are the top hotels and resorts as rated by online users, in no particular order. All resorts in the list are located in Santa Fe.
