Exploring an oasis of serenity

- Johnny Litton -

“Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”  — Kahlil Gibran

It was indeed a heavenly experience in paradise as the beautifully-master planned Eskaya Beach Resort & Spa, one of the finest leisure and spa destinations in Bohol and in Asia, was recently unveiled with a fabulous grand opening and blessing. The resort’s moving force and inspiration Phoebe Lim, together with her supportive husband Richard and loving sons Junjun and Ralph, welcomed guests. They toured them to the resort’s lush community and excellent amenities including the Asian-inspired Handuraw Spa and the luxurious Presidential villa called Bahay Datu. Amid the soothing and relaxing beach atmosphere, guests had the time of their lives as they were treated to a delectable cocktails and a filling five-course dinner accompanied by the music of Alicia Musika Kawayan and the Loboc Youth Band. Everyone enjoyed the rare experience of exploring the beauty and charm of Eskaya while savoring the festivities which culminated with a spectacular fireworks display. Gracing the affair were Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Lito Atienza, Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap, Bohol First District Rep. Edgar Chatto as well as Mayor Benedicto Alcala of Panglao island, Mayor May Lim of Loay town and Mayor Pedro Miasco of Alicia town.

Congratulations and see you soon in Eskaya!
