There are many beautiful beaches in Cebu, even with a lot of neighboring islands boasting white beaches and majestic sceneries. And there’s this newly opened resort situated in a “private” and relatively uninhabited island in northern Cebu that surely is worth checking out.
Nicolas Island Resort is the newest beach resort in Caubian Island (Daku) that is approximately 40 minutes away from the mainland by boat. Unlike its neighboring island, Caubian Gamay, which has a barangay in it, Caubian Daku is relatively uninhabited and where the powdery beach is found.
It is not the typical beach resort that you are used to staying. You would realize, its seclusion keeps the place perfect for relaxation and comfort. It is ‘A Beauty’ and ‘An Experience’ like no other in Cebu.
