Playa del Carmelo: The perfect summer destination in Tabuelan

Every day is summer on the sandy shores of Playa del Carmelo.

Playa del Carmelo is a family-friendly beach resort with an expansive beach space for families to enjoy with their loved ones. It is nestled on the pristine white sand shores of Maravilla and is open to any and every person who loves spending vacations under the sun.

Playa del Carmelo sits comfortably along the shores of Maravilla and offers visitors of the white sand paradise budget-friendly and spacious cottages that’s perfect a for a hearty salu-salo.

The white sand strip of the beach extends quite the distance on both ends and the beachfront also has the space to accommodate many families. Lining the pristine shores are rows of palm trees that extend just as long as the beach and as far as the eye can see. Turquoise waters also trace the coastline and go as far as the eye can see – truly a tropical paradise.

The expansive beach of Playa del Carmelo gives everyone ample space for everyone to do virtually any kind of activity in the sands. The lack of rocks and pebbles on the sand make the experience much more pleasant and comfortable making activities such as beach volleyball or frisbee much more enjoyable.

Everyone can lay down their picnic cloth and there would still be enough space where kids could run around and chase one another.

Note, as of this time of pandemic, beach camping has been prohibited.

Playa del Carmelo is the definition of a tropical paradise with a beauty that can make anyone forget the stresses of life.
