How’s your Mental Well-Being?
Psychologist refer it as “blue space”. The expansive view of the sea water in front of the beach house will calm your mind. Stress from work and toxic relationships seems to melt away as you stare at the inviting water just beyond the wicker loungers you choose to peacefully lay down. The beach house offers an open space to take in the scenic view of the ocean from the morning you wake up to the setting of the sun. The sea is all yours to see.

Get Some Fresh Air
The blinding fluorescent light in your office on a daily basis must be stressful for you. Not to mention the load of paper works with deadlines waving just around the corner, your life must be in chaos. Get some fresh air once in a while. Change your environment from the four walls of your office, to a meticulously designed beach house where you can take a break from breathing dusty piles of paper. You need a cool breeze and salty-sweet smell of the sea for a holiday, you hard working monster.

Benefits of Rest and Renewal
You might be well-aware by now how staying beside the beach can relax one’s mind. And yet, have you ever wondered how this works on your system scientifically? Researchers have found that the sound of waves alters brain patterns, which lulls you into a deeply relaxed state and rejuvenates body and mind. (suninternational.com) Go ahead. Get the rest you deserve. There are sofas placed by the sea for you to lay back to either own some tan lines or simply witness the sunset in peace. A true sense of relaxation will renew your sense of purpose as well as de-clutter your mind.

Swimming Pool for the Night
Amidst the soothing effect of the surrounding sea water, if you’re an anxious and imaginative human being, perhaps sea in your own perception is full of unknown creatures lurking at the bottom of the sea. In short, you love relaxing by the sea but not in the sea. No worries, Buyong Beach House understands the demand of your soul. A swimming pool is waiting to fulfill the thirst of your soul—not salty, just right. Unsolicited advice: go for a dip during the night. Swimming at night burns off your left-over energy and releases feel-good endorphins that reduce stress, and provide a calming effect that helps you fall asleep and stay asleep.

Recently, the Philippines has reached another milestone as it has ranked at the 76th spot in the 2020 Henley Passport Index, a global ranking system that scores which passport can get you to the most number of destinations without a prior visa. Imagine this: you only need a passport to visit 67 destinations outside the Philippines without needing a visa!
Hopefully, we will continue to climb on this ladder and get more destinations within our reach. If you already have a passport, then plan out your next travel with the barkada or with the family. If you don’t, I suggest you already get one yourself as it is quite readily accessible to take one and will only take a little amount of time with the proper requirements and preparation.
If you’re already getting your planners and pens ready, then here are the destinations you can go to:

67 is a lot, so be sure to plan wisely and accordingly on what you like to do or a bucktetlist of sorts to know where you’d like to go. If you’d want to swim and relax while drinking a fruit cocktail under the sun, you can come to the Maldives, Barbados, or Fiji.
If you’re planning on a nature escapade or a trip of soul searching, I’d recommend Indonesia or Laos. If you like the festivities of an urban adventure, Brazil and Singapore is a good pick.
Again, 67 is a lot, so be sure to choose wisely!

The Philippines is one of the best countries to see various types of flowers due to its tropical climate. Due to the country having a balanced season throughout the year and not experiencing extreme heat or cold, many plants and flowers survive and thrive in its lands.
Wth the amount of flowers existing in the country, it would be a waste to not be able to explore them.
As featured on VisMin.ph, the fast-rising digital magazine highlighting the best of Visayas and Mindanao, here are five (5) of the most beautiful flower gardens in the Philippines that will surely take everyone’s breath away.
1. Buwakan ni Alejandra in Cebu
Buwakan ni Alejandra, translated to “The Flower Garden of Alejandra” in english, is a truly beautiful flower garden arranged in a harmonious manner that makes the colors of the plants meld beautifully with one another to create a piece of art. The playful colors are not in any way overwhelming to eyes and are even quite mystical to the sight.
The site where the flowers are has witnessed a lot of events happen in the past since the time of the Japanese colonization but it has only gained attention a year or two ago after the owners decided to renovate and landscape it. The garden is 700 square meters in size with a variety of flower species thriving in it.

A flower garden destination in the barangay of Sirao, aptly nicknamed “Little Amsterdam”, is the Sirao Flower Garden. It is divided into two sections: The Original Sirao Flower Garden and the Pictorial Garden and Camping Site.
The Original Garden is the site filled with different species of colorful flowers while the Pictorial Garden features an infinity pool and several “Instagrammable” backgrounds that will surely make your social media feed much more lively.
This flower garden is a famous natural spectacle in Cebu. Reminiscent of Amsterdam’s flower gardens, Sirao Flower Garden seeks to bring the same experience to its visitors and at the same time highlight the verdant mountains and cool climate of Sirao. The most famous flower in the garden are the celosias with their bright fiery colors.
Even artificial flowers still contribute just as much beauty to the world as real ones. The 16 000 Blossoms in Lintaon Peak is a magnificent garden of LED roses situated on the highlands of Baybay, Leyte.
The white and red flowers illuminate the night with beautiful dim lights similar to other artificial gardens like the 10000 Roses Cafe in Cordova, Cebu and Jardin Necitas in Bohol. Aside from beautiful lights and glowing flowers, the garden also has a breathtaking view of the Leyte Cordillera, Camotes Sea and a silhouette of the famous Cuatro Islas.
Artificial flowers are symbols of beauties that never fade and the glowing garden of Jardin Necitas in Pilar is one that will surely stay in the memory for a long time. A field full of 20,000 flowers and tulips glowing in different colors is definitely a sight to behold.
The beautiful dim lights will surely make the night more magical and even fill the air with a kind of magic that will make everyone one in it feel in love. Jardin Necitas is a garden of romance and beauty that will surely even make the goddess of love and beauty fall in love with it.

Flowers surely bring life to its surroundings so imagine how alive you will feel when visiting RJ Javier’s Tropical Farm. Not only do they have flowers but they also have a collection of fruits and vegetables. Hearts will skip a beat as they go through the different gardens filled with sunflowers, celosias, lettuce, cherry, tomatoes, and many more. No one would ever expect to fall in love with fruits and vegetables but the life they exude into the garden is just so overwhelming that people come for a second visit.
This tropical farm is a great place to visit even for those looking for a break from the city because the relaxing activity of picking up fruits and vegetables gives you a unique experience that makes you forget whatever it was you were stressing on. Staying in the farm is a form of therapy that can definitely soothe your nerves.
Who’s up for a south-bound ride? Yes, you do. You might badly need it, especially when you’re in dire need of vitamin sea. Just along Ronda road, approximately two hours ride heading south of Cebu, there’s an enchanted beach open for the public. Yes, it is free of entrance fee! Pack your beach-y OOTD, tents, and some bag of food, and head out to soak under the sun at the Baha-Baha Beach or better known as Kasadya beach!

Swimming in Blue Water
Even being a public beach, the beauty of the beach is not compromised in terms of clear waters. Away from a concentrated population, the beach boasts its clear blue waters. A photoshoot featuring the water as background invites curious, sea-lover minds to see the beach for themselves. You can see the bottom of the sea because that’s just how clear it is. Take a dip, bring your snorkel, and play with the cold water at this paradise!

Grilling by the Shore
Nothing beats a great beach outing than mouth-watering grilled seafood. You can stop by a local wet market to choose freshly caught fishes and bring them to Baha-Baha Beach. Some coals and grilling net will make its magic to complete the perfect dish for lunch. A smoky delicious aroma hanging in the air just makes the experience way better. Just a friendly reminder, make sure to clean as you go. Dispose of your garbage properly before leaving

Playing all Kinds of Games
The long stretch of white sands will become your playground. Bring some volleyball or ropes for Tug of War if you like. Rekindle childhood memories as you play along the shore with Frisbees and Tag. Let your children enjoy the beautiful sand. Just make sure the little ones are well-looked out. It may seem fun to have fun wiggling the feet in wet sand or playing by the seashore but when a sprain happens or your child will be outbalanced by the waves, things can go down pretty fast.

Chilling in a Floating Cottage
If Bohol is famous for its floating restaurant, Baha-Baha Beach also has its low-key floating cottage that you can rent for as low as 70 pesos per head. Bring your food to the cottage and enjoy seawater at 360 degrees! However, there is no life vest for rent in the area so if you have one, please bring them for safety purposes. If you’re afraid of deep waters, you can stay under the shadows of the coconut trees lining down the shore—all for free. There are no cottages on the shore at the moment so you better bring your own tents, umbrellas, and mats for convenience purposes.

Money can’t buy happiness—or so they say. Yet in Baha-Baha Beach, you don’t need a wallet full of cash to enjoy the pristine waters. This beach is for public use—no entrance fee, no cottage to pay—, welcoming visitors from neighboring municipalities. Appreciating nature’s blessing by taking care of it will open more doors for tourism within the local area. So when you drop by, make sure to leave nothing but footsteps and great memories.

The Sundown Beach Cabana is an exclusive beach house with its own isolated strip of sandy white beach. When staying in their beach, you’re guaranteed to have both safety and privacy from crowds and other beachgoers.

The Private Beach
Located in Bakhawan, Daanbantayan, the cabana flaunts an intimate stretch of white beach with aquamarine waters. Thanks to the cabana having its own beach, you get to stroll, sunbathe, or swim as long as you like without having anything or anyone getting in the way of your quality time!
The beach is cozy and the sand is fine and powdery while several coral rocks dot the property adding some character to the coast. At times of low tide, the water ebbs and reveals long, sandy, tidal flats. The slopes are gentle and don’t drop abruptly into the waters. The sand and the scenery come together as ingredients for a truly wonderful stroll in a beach spanning kilometers.
The Sundown Beach Cabana is a simple, yet beautiful bungalow. It’s fully equipped with all the necessities and comforts of home, but it comes with amazingly relaxing ambiance and a stunning panorama of the beach.
The house has an open kitchen with complete sets of pans and utensils for cooking and dining. You can opt to cook on the gas stove or on their free-standing charcoal grill. The open design lets the aroma and smoke out while inviting the sea breeze in.

Next of the kitchen you’ll find their veranda overlooking the beach and the Visayan Sea. The spacious veranda offers a roomy area where you can seek shelter from the sun while still admiring the beach. The view of the sea and the horizon is so mesmerizing, you can spend hours just staring from the comfort of the veranda!
You might be wondering where they got inspiration for their name. You won’t be wondering too long after you witness the brilliant display of the setting sun right in front of their veranda. Since the house is located on the northwestern edge of Daanbantayan, guests get to see an unobstructed sunset over the Visayan Sea.
At the end of the day, you can comfortably ease into their 3 bedrooms with air-conditioner units. Thanks to the proximity to the shore, the lapping of waves and the sound of the sea breeze will lull you to sleep.
