Captivating Contrasts in Misibis Bay

Bicol is a land of contrasts. Spice, fiery heat, and volcanic eruptions are juxtaposed to lush, cool forests and mountains, clear and blue waters, and a relaxing vibe; making for some interesting combinations. Misibis Bay is one place that embodies the fire and cool of Bicol. Located in the remote island of Cagraray, just off the coast of Albay, Misibis Bay provides both the adrenaline rush adventurers seek and the quiet those looking to unwind crave.

Misibis Bay is paradise for the stressed and burnt out. The beach is just a few feet away from plush villas, with crystal clear blue waters and comfortable cabanas. And for those who don’t like getting sand in their bathing suits, the resort has two swimming pools and a wading pool, where guests can still catch the sun’s rays while lounging and reading the latest best-selling novel.

Adventure junkies can rejoice with the astounding amount of activities they can take part in. Take an all-terrain vehicle to go off-road on Cagraray’s many hills and mountains, or zip line 450 meters down the side of a hill. Water babies can get their fill of water sports, jet skiing at 70 kilometers an hour on the waters of the Albay Gulf, or going deep down into the ocean blue, watching tropical fishes swim and play on the coral reefs. If that’s not enough to satiate the most ardent of nature lovers, visit the resort’s Eco Park where the gorgeous ampitheater overlooking the Pacific Ocean is found.

If there is a need to catch up on working out, Misibay Bay has a fully equipped gym. And if work won’t let you rest, the business center functions almost exactly like the office, except with a better ambience and view. For those with children, keep the young ones entertained at the day care center and at the playgrounds. Have a singing showdown or a billiards tournament with friends and family at the entertainment center.

And if the thrill-seekers and the loungers need to recharge and find sustenance, Misibis Bay’s Spice Market will do the trick. Serving up local and international dishes, this restaurant satisfies anyone’s choosy palate. After the wining and dining, soothe those tired muscles (whether from doing various land and water activities or from all that lounging) at the resort’s opulent Essenses Spa. Massages and other treatments release tension and prepare guests for another day of activities and relaxation.

With the most luxurious and the most private villas and suites, Misibis Bay is a splendid getaway for those looking for something unique. So even though you can’t decide whether you want excitement or relaxation, or to make the choice between the heat of the land and the coolness of the water, Misibis Bay will make things easier for you. Because at Misibis Bay, you get the best of both worlds.
