Sitting 6-kilometers northeast of its city location, Maria, accessible through the port of Larena, the government-run Salagdoong Beach Resort boasts of its beautiful scenic treasures. Its shorelines could be considered its most loved views with its white sand, crystal-clear waters, and refreshing breeze.

Over at the Salagdoong Beach Resort, there is an islet close by. It's beautiful to row to, and look back over at Salagdoong's magnificent beachfront, which only leaves you gasping for more of Salagdoong, tucked mysteriously further amidst the coves. Salagdoong Beach Resort satisfies this urge as it provides all the amenities and services for tourists. This includes package tours in and through the private island's best spots.

Tours of course, will journey you to the island's rejuvenating most natural destinations. Consider a visit to Lazi's Kambugahay Falls, and to the magnificent Mount Bandilaan, the highest peak in Siquijor. Its perfect cone-shape will take you away as well as its myriad excursion opportunities like cave spelunking, mountain climbing, and nature treks. Even if you are short of being adventurous, you can still enjoy its attractions of mountain-side rivers and natural springs. Or just hang out with the butterflies. A Butterfly Sanctuary nearby called the "Bandilaan Butterfly Range and Breeding Farm" will charm you along with a thought that you are somehow one of the advocate ecological guardians supporting the nature park.

Special travels will take you to the island's much talked about historical sites that especially takes account of antique house structures and century old cathedrals and convents.

A trip to the Salagdoong Beach Resort will not be complete without venturing into the hearts of the island's gentle people and their rich, and mystical, culture.

From the Bandilaan Natural Park, some 200-steps will lead you to a spiritual hill that homes the Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine and The Stations of the Cross. An elevated viewing-tower comes along giving you the perfect position to see all of the surrounding Siquijorian towns below.

Then venture further into Maria's famous ancient church - believed to have once homed a statue of Saint Rita - “a black-clad, evil-eyed woman who killed her husband and hold his skull in her hands” (Lonely Planet Philippines 2003).

More mystery and chills awaits you at the capital-town of Siquijor, domicile of the bell-towered Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, yet, home to legends of pagan rituals and witchcrafts. See for your self as you test on the locals' famous island "mananambals," witch-doctors, and faith-healers. Better yet, try and take home some of the island's oils, amulets, and charms to protect you from evil.

A trip to Salagdoong (either cultural venture or nature escapade) would surely be an exceptional kind.
