World Big 4 Resort is the place to be if you’re looking for a relaxing retreat in Badian. Itis a charming resort by the cliff sides of Badian overlooking the turquoise waters of the municipality.
It has both the views and the space for small celebrations with your closest friends and family or just short getaways with someone special. It also has ample space and facilities to accommodate team building activities or company get-togethers.
The relaxing atmosphere of the resort is due to the bushes and lush plant life growing around the resort and the outcrops of its cliff. The most notable feature of the resort is the row of rooms facing the oceanside with a perfect view to watch the sunset. It also has a charming lawnside with chairs and tables to enjoy breakfasts, dinners, or to just sit and relax when not visiting other attractions.
On a bright sunny day, the resort boasts of scenic views of the vast ocean with silhouettes of mountains seemingly floating over the horizon. It also offers a glimpse of the beauty of the famous Lambug beach at the right side of the resort.
Beach-lovers will also have the chance to enjoy some sun and sand playtime below. There are stairs that lead down to the beach below where everyone can enjoy a little bit of sand and a lot of sea. A wooden footbridge connects the shore to the deep blue area of the sea and at the end of it is a panoramic view of the natural wonders of Badian just waiting for people who can appreciate it. All these elements, both natural and man-made, create a beautiful and tranquil place to spend a relaxing vacation.
The lawnside building and main building rooms host 18 rooms with affordable prices with interiors and decor that complement the atmosphere of Badian. There is also a medium-sized pool facing the ocean which is just immediately in front of the main building – very accessible for a quick morning splash. It shares the same views with the room but with the addition of the refreshing pool water to beat the heat. It’s a great spot to enjoy most of what Badian and the resort has to offer.
The lawnside has a small pond filled with the bright red and orange of koi fishes just swimming about in the water. In the immediate vicinity is a two-storey building with more rooms to accommodate even more guests as well as an indoor lounge with a view of the lawn and the sea on the ground floor.
