After three weeks of traveling around the Philippines, we simply wanted to kick back for a few days in Crusoe-esque splendor – and on Sumilon Island we did just that. Located 10 km from Cebu island, it might be just a hop away from civilization but it sure felt like a world apart. Landing on the island’s sandbar, we stepped foot on the fine bone-white sand and clear-as-glass water; while the smiley and relaxed staff greeted us by our first names and handed us fresh fruit punch — it was as though we’d arrived on our very own private island.
On Sumilon, we spent our days eating fresh fish and snorkeling with live ones, collecting shells on the empty beach, and swaying on the hammock right by the spearmint blue sea. This picture was snapped on the island’s moving sandbar – where we snorkelled and lounged around everyday under the blazing sun. It was by far our favorite spot on this little private island.

This looks like paradise! If I wasn’t about to head to the Caribbean coast of Colombia this month, I’d be sick with jealousy! 🙂
It does look very inviting I think. I would love to go to the Philippines one day as people keep telling me they have the nicest beaches!
I am jealous. Nothing this paradise-like near us at this time. This is truly gorgeous! No sand flies?? I’ve read other blogs where they mention some spots in paradise that have little pests 🙁
It looks gorgeous doesn`t it. You`re not the only one who`s jealous 😉
