Solea Panglao Coast: A haven for relaxation

Solea Panglao Coast in Bohol has become a haven for people seeking a peaceful escape from bustling city life. Since The Manila Times Lifestyle’s first visit in Solea Mactan Resort in February, the local hospitality brand continues to provide a serene and relaxing retreat for families and friends with its tasteful aesthetics, top-notch amenities and the warm hospitality of its ever-efficient staff.

Solea Coast Resort from the aesthetically pleasing walls to the amenities, and interiors give the illusion of being one with the waves. 

In this new visit, albeit in a different location, Chris Gothong, owner and managing director of Solea Resorts and Hotels, maintained, “We provide a safe haven for our guests, where they can enjoy luxurious amenities without the drawbacks.”

He then emphasized, “For us, the most important thing is good and personalized service. We treat this like our own home, making sure people come back. We want them to feel like it’s their second home or, even better, their own home, too,” he added.

Beachfront bliss and scenic splendor. Solea Coast Panglao provides access to a quiet beachfront for those seeking moments of tranquility. Guests can immerse themselves in swimming activities or find solace in the comforting embrace of the pristine shoreline. The resort’s proximity to Alona Beach, a famous white sand beach in Bohol, and the nearby picturesque sandbar, Virgin Island, offer guests a change of scenery and the opportunity to explore the region’s natural wonders.

Instagrammable experiences. Solea Coast Panglao doesn’t shy away from providing Instagram-worthy moments. The recently opened Salt & Sky Bar, the first-ever rooftop bar in Bohol, offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of Panglao Island, delighting photography enthusiasts and those seeking an elevated experience. The bar’s scenic backdrop is the perfect setting for capturing unforgettable memories.

Luxurious comfort and warm hospitality. Since its soft opening in November 2021 and official launch in July 2022, Solea Coast Panglao, part of the renowned Solea Hotels and Resorts chain, has grown into a resort with 110 rooms designed to provide luxurious and value-for-money experiences. Each room offers a balcony, air conditioning, and fast internet connectivity, catering to “workationers” seeking a seamless blend of work and relaxation. Rooted in Filipino culture and warmth, the resort extends its hospitality to various groups, fostering celebrations and strengthening bonds.

“One thing that always hinders people from going out is the perception of high expenses,” pointed out Gothong. “But at our resort, we provide great value for their money while offering all these amenities. There’s no reason not to travel anymore.”

Indeed, Solea Coast Panglao in Bohol presents a compelling case as a must-visit resort. Its appealing aesthetics, delectable cuisine, and inviting waters create an earthly nirvana for those seeking a simple yet rejuvenating vacation.
