Their accommodation comes in different options. You can choose from a room-type of accommodation if you’re travelling with few friends or rent an entire house if you’re with a large group. It’s worth the budget since your room or house reservation comes with the standard room amenities. There’s also a terrace/veranda overlooking the entire beach front where you can chill or meditate or have a talk with your loved ones.
If you prefer the outdoor camping experience, you can set-up your camping gears and bask under the spectacles of the bright stars during the night. Setting up tents along the shorelines of Basdaku is the go-to set-up for the majority of those who have travelled to this part of Moalboal especially if you want to have a chill night with your friends sipping glasses of ice-cold beer. Who wouldn’t want that?

In the morning, you have the entire beachfront to frolic and be actively engaged with whatever outdoor activity that you can think of. You can bring your beach volleyball sets, frisbee and all other fun and exciting games so you can pump up the energetic beach vibes just before you take a dive into the depths of the Moalboal waters.
The concept of Big Sand Campgrounds started as a private place big enough to accommodate the owner’s growing family. It’s a place intended for the exchange of ‘small’ and ‘big ‘ talks for the adults and a safe place to play for the young ones. They also needed a place to hold Christmas gatherings, birthdays, and anniversaries.
Now, the place has grown to not just a camping ground but also, one of the famous resorts in Moalboal.

“Sileo” is a Latin word which means “to be still.” Living up to its name, this retreat house is truly an escape from the chaos and a spot for tranquility and stillness. This is a 5-bedroom home with a fully equipped kitchen, entertainment room and a swimming pool.
The bedrooms are spacious and are designed to give you first-class comfort, boasting floor to ceiling windows and vast balconies with majestic views of the mountains of Cebu on one side and the Pacific Ocean and Negros island on the other.

And the best deal: you can have these amenities all for yourself and for your group once you book a reservation.
One thing that this place is proud of is on how it offers its guests with a calm and soothing atmosphere– an isolation from work, pollution, and noise. There are claims that solitude can be beneficial for us since research shows that it helps reduce the intensity of daily life. According to an article, people who spend time on their own and free of distractions have greater control over their emotions.

These good things about being away from the flock are made ‘lit’ with the breathtaking, unobstructed view of the rolling verdant hills and the feel of the cold and fresh air kissing your face.

Sileo Mountain House is committed to give a safe home away from home during these uncertain and trying times by making sure that the property is cleaned and sanitized thoroughly in between guests. A very important reminder too: make sure to purchase all your food supplies in Cebu City before you travel up to Sileo as it is remote with no shops nearby other than cafes.
