A retreat for the soul is the promise of this resort…
If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping to Bali, Indonesia, but your wallet says “local lang sa ta,” then you’re in luck. Raco’s Garden Resort in Sibonga, Cebu is serving open-air tropical aesthetics without the need of a passport.
This spot is known for its natural materials, lush landscaping, and multi-level pools. From Bali-inspired garden decors to flowing waterfalls, Raco’s has nailed the calm and classy look without making it feel too intimidating. It’s the kind of place you go to for a peaceful escape when you desperately need it outside the harsh realities of adulthood.
Chill, Clean, and Crowd-Free Vibes
What makes Raco’s stand out aside from its Bali-style pools? It’s the peace and quiet. Guests love that it’s not packed to the brim, even on weekends. If you’re into stargazing or slow nights, this place offers clear views of the night sky, far away from city noise and traffic.
And yes, their signature 3-storey pool is on the list, too. The top level features a gentle waterfall cascading into the middle pool, and from there, there’s another lower pool as its base. It’s like a tropical waterfall you can actually swim in with no rocks and boulders.
As of this writing, Raco’s is currently renovating its restaurant and select amenities, so they’re only accepting day-use reservations for now. Walk-ins are still allowed, but not guaranteed since they limit guests to maintain a peaceful and uncrowded atmosphere—so it’s best to book ahead!
Instagram-Worthy and Family-Approved
The resort layout is made for both relaxation and play. There are spacious areas, cozy corners, and refreshing pools for both kids and adults. Whether you’re with your family, your partner, or your whole barkada, it’s a great choice for day trips or late night celebrations.
