Talima Beach: Tropical hide-away in Olango Island

Known for its wildlife sanctuary, Olango Island is a group of islands found in the Central Visayas region of the Philippines and is a part of Cebu Province. It lies 5 km east (20-minute boat ride) of Mactan Island and is a major tourist destination in Cebu.

Recently trending on social media is this relatively new resort in Olango Island, Lapu-Lapu City — the Talima Beach Villas & Dive Resort. It has been recommended for its affordability, very accommodating staff, good food, and relaxing beach vibes.
