About Us | Amihan Beach Cabanas - Bantayan Island, Cebu

Our Story

Amihan Beach Cabanas is a boutique beachfront resort on Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines, where sustainability and community are at the center of everything we do. The name "Amihan" comes from the Filipino word for the northeast monsoon wind, a gentle breeze that brings clear skies and calm seas to the island.

What began as a dream to create an intimate, eco-conscious retreat has grown into one of the most beloved accommodations on Bantayan Island, ranked #1 among hotels on TripAdvisor with over 269 traveler reviews.

Our property is intentionally small: just a handful of handcrafted cabanas lining the golden beach. This means you share the resort with only a few other guests, creating a personal, relaxed atmosphere that feels like your own private corner of paradise.

Filipino Design, Modern Comfort

Every cabana at Amihan is uniquely crafted from locally sourced bamboo and natural materials, reflecting the rich traditions of Filipino craftsmanship. The design draws inspiration from indigenous architecture, creating spaces that breathe with the island air while providing all the modern amenities you need.

Guests often describe the aesthetic as having a "Bali vibe" combined with authentic Filipino charm. From the thatched roofs to the hand-woven details, each element tells a story of the local artisans who built them.

Inside, you will find air conditioning, hot-water showers, plush linens, and flat-screen televisions, a thoughtful blend of traditional beauty and western comfort.

Bantayan Island

A paradise in the Visayas known for its powdery white sand, turquoise waters, and laid-back island life.

The Island

Bantayan Island is located off the northern tip of Cebu in the Visayan Sea. Known for its pristine white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and unhurried pace of life, the island is one of the Philippines' best-kept secrets.

The resort is situated in Santa Fe, just a two-minute walk from the town center and MJ Square where you will find restaurants, souvenir shops, and local markets. Yet the moment you step back onto our beach, the bustle fades away.

Getting here is part of the adventure: a scenic bus ride from Cebu City to Hagnaya Port followed by a short ferry crossing to Santa Fe. The journey is well worth the reward.
