4. Amun Ini Resort Bohol
Website: https://www.amun-ini.com/
Price Range: $200 – $450 per night
While most of the luxury resorts in Bohol is in Panglao, Amun Ini Resort Bohol is in Anda, which is around 3-4 hours away from Panglao International Airport. That calls for a roadtrip to the eastern part of Bohol where you will enjoy magnificent ocean views along the coastal highways and savor the beautiful provincial life in Bohol.
Amun Ini, for us, is therapeutic. Anda is a very laid back town and the vibe of the resort also feels the same. The resort is passionate about preserving nature at its rawest form with less-manicured gardens and unspoilt white sand beach. The people are so warm, the rooms are luxurious yet eco-friendly, food is outstanding, the views of the Bohol Sea and Camiguin are relaxing and the dive sites are adorned with vibrant marine life and pristine coral reefs.
