Sambawan Dive Camp & Beach Resort

Eastern Visayas


This place is the only accommodation option on the paradise island of Sambawan. Spacious, simple beach bungalows (which can sleep three and have private bathrooms) enjoy perfect ocean views, and after any day trippers have left you'll have the island to yourself. Meals can be prepared. Book accommodation well ahead.
