The Philippines is really blessed not only with beaches but WHITE SAND beaches. There are thousands of resorts you can find in the country. A few of them are inspired to the most famous spot in Greece and the Aegean Sea - Santorini.
So if you are dreaming of going to that place, why not do it here in the Philippines (for now)? You won't need visa, to talk to immigrant department and of course, lots of money just to experience it.
ABOUT SANTORINI, GREECE
Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. It was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, forever shaping its rugged landscape. The whitewashed, cubiform houses of its 2 principal towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera (crater). They overlook the sea, small islands to the west and beaches made up of black, red and white lava pebbles.
Here I list 10 of Santorini-inspired resorts and hotels in the Philippines:
Vitalis Villas is the most exclusive of luxury accommodations perched high on the mountain cliffs overlooking the sea and the beautiful Santiago Cove. The villas are crafted in traditional Greek architectural style and offer the warmth of Filipino Island charm and the convenience of modern amenities.
Nestled on a cliff overlooking the West Philippine Sea, Thunderbird Resorts & Casinos – Poro Point is as captivating as its magnificent milieu. In this 65-hectare Mediterranean-inspired dream destination in North Luzon, white-washed buildings with cobalt blue domes and accents blend with the azure waters and skies.
Camp Netanya’s whitewashed villas are a stark contrast against the gorgeous Balayan Bay. The 10-room resort has an infinity pool that allows guests to overlook the waters. Camp Netanya temporarily closed last year due to change of ownership. Nonetheless, it is now fully operational with improved facilities.
Opening its doors to the public in 2009, Bellarocca has several hotel rooms, suites, casas, villas and more. It also boasts of a nine-hole golf course, a fine dining restaurant, three swimming pools, a Piano Lounge, and luxurious sun loungers that definitely make its guests feel like they’re sunbathing in Greece vs the Philippines.
Casa Amara is best known for having a Santorini-vibe where all you can see everything in white and complemented with blue. It is also a favorite spot for prenups and small weddings because of its garden ambiance above a ridge. The view of Tayabas Sea is perfect from their infinity pool. With these, you can enjoy and relax the view and the full experience at the resort.
Balesin Island Club is a private paradise that allows access for members only. It is a beautiful destination on the eastern coast of Luzon in the Philippines. This Santorini-like resort has luxurious villas and amenities.
Sundowners offer seven villas suitable for “barkada outings” and family reunions. Even then, there are several rooms available for smaller parties and for couples. There is an infinity pool and a rooftop viewing deck. Despite its “ancient” Greek touch, the rooms are well-equipped with all the needed amenities.
Instead of a coastal view, Estancia offers Greece in the highlands of Tagaytay. The breathtaking view of Taal Volcano and the Taal Lake definitely make up for the absence of the sea. Estancia has two swimming pools and a fine dining restaurant with the colors and pillars of Santorini.
