Kapuluan Vista Resort

North Luzon


Towards the more low-key end of Blue Lagoon, this fading yet strangely stylish place sits in front of the beach's best surfing waves. Polished cement and white-painted rooms are minimalist chic, and the restaurant has bleached wood tables graced with tiny oil lamps. Surfboards (P350 per hour), SUPs (P300 per hour) and surfing instruction (P200) are available.
