3-star beachfront resort in Moalboal with exclusive diving experience

Location

The Blue Orchid Resort is positioned at the north tip of one of Moalboal's few white sandy beaches, known as Bas Dako. This beachfront location allows direct access to a stunning tidal rock formation called Mag Payong, situated just minutes away. The resort is strategically located between two cherished natural treasures on the island of Cebu.

Diving Experience

The resort operates a PADI 5-star dive center, offering daily boat trips to the diverse dive sites around Moalboal. Guests can explore renowned diving spots such as Pescador Island, which boasts visibility up to 50 meters. The house reef is easily accessible and features a rich variety of marine life, allowing divers to experience the underwater world at their convenience.

Accommodation Options

The Blue Orchid Resort offers 11 distinct rooms, each with pool or sea views and various bed configurations. The family room can accommodate up to five guests and features a private terrace with panoramic views of the Tañon Strait. The resort also provides multiple package deals tailored for divers, adventure seekers, and families.

Family Activities

The resort presents special family packages that incorporate local excursions such as swimming with whale sharks and a visit to Kawasan Falls. Children can engage in guided adventures led by knowledgeable local guides. These packages ensure families enjoy a blend of relaxation and exploration during their stay.

Outdoor Adventures

Highlights

Location: white sandy beach of 'bas dako'

Diving: PADI 5* rated dive center

Accommodation: Honeymoon Suite

Family: Family Package with local activities

“The Blue Orchid Resort appeals primarily to scuba enthusiasts, with its onsite PADI 5-Star Dive Center and instructors offering courses for all skill levels. Its location, though somewhat remote from Moalboal's main attractions, allows for a quieter experience, especially welcome to families and divers looking for a more secluded base. While some aspects require cash payment, the access to the sardine run and whale shark watching makes this resort a worthwhile option for dedicated divers.”
