A trip for two
Panglao with children
A resort-led stay
Eat & Drink
Eat well in Panglao.
Start with the food in front of you: shared dishes, simple lunches, dinner after the beach and coffee before the day gets going.
The Filipino dishes worth knowing before you order
A practical introduction to the dishes, flavours and table habits that can make an unfamiliar menu easier to enjoy.
Where to eat well away from beachfront prices
Look beyond the busiest strip for straightforward cooking, generous tables and places made for everyday meals.
Finding a quieter table near the beach
For evenings when a simple grilled fish, a sea breeze and enough time to finish the conversation are the whole plan.
Coffee, breakfast and an early start
A calm first meal before the roads get busier and the rest of the island day begins.
Stay
Where should you stay in Panglao?
Start with the area: close to restaurants and activity, beside a quieter stretch of coast or somewhere in between. Then choose the room.
First visit
Start with the part of the island that suits your days
Choose the setting first—near the action, beside a quieter coast or somewhere between the two.
Resort stays
When the room, pool and beach are the point of the trip
A stay that carries the day can be worth more than an itinerary filled from morning to night.
Quieter coast
A slower base beyond the busiest stretch
For travellers who would rather hear the water at night and make a short trip when they want more activity.
With children
More space and easier beach days
Look for the kind of base that makes breakfast, swimming and the return to the room feel uncomplicated.
