About us
Our family has lived in Camiguin Island for the past 30 years, coming back each time for the island’s beautiful landscapes and staying for its unique charm. Sisters Lara and Laila share a passion for art and holistic wellbeing, bringing a fresh perspective and a commitment to celebrating the island and its people through tourism.
Our goal is to provide an oasis through Balihao, where guests can experience Camiguin the way we do, and make you feel like you’re part of the family. Every aspect of the resort reflects our enduring characteristics: passionate, friendly and maybe a little quirky. We welcome each visitor and hope to give them the authentic Filipino experience on our special little island.
