Tucked away on the volcanic island of Camiguin Island, Bintana sa Paraiso stands out as one of the most unique boutique resorts in the Philippines. Drawing from travel features and guest-reviews, here’s what makes it special — and why many travellers are falling in love with it.
1. Dual Retreats: Sea & Mountain
What truly sets Bintana sa Paraiso apart is its dual-location model. One branch is nestled in the mountains of Binunsaran, surrounded by misty trees and jungle air. The other is perched on a coastal cliff at Naasag, where villas gaze out over the Bohol Sea. Travel articles highlight this contrast and the freedom it gives travellers to choose their kind of escape. Tara Lets Anywhere+2The Queen's Escape+2
2. Immersive Nature with Elegant Design
Multiple reviews emphasize the resort’s breathtaking views, the quiet of its location, and how the design allows nature to be the star. One reviewer said:
“The view was absolutely stunning, waking up everyday with the vast sea in front of us was healing for the soul.” Booking.com
Despite its luxury, the resort retains a sense of place: wood, glass, open terraces, minimal intrusion — guests feel both pampered and grounded.
3. Hospitality & Service That Stands Out
From TripAdvisor and Booking.com reviews: guests consistently rate the staff, service and the personal touches very highly. For example:
“The staff are very accommodating … We had an amazing stay.” Tripadvisor
Travel articles echo this: the resort is praised for “luxurious accommodations, unparalleled hospitality … and an eco-conscious approach.” PIA Mirror
4. Wellness, Calm & Seclusion
Articles note that Bintana sa Paraiso is ideal for guests seeking tranquility away from crowds. Tara Lets Anywhere+1 The mountain branch especially feels like a retreat into nature: foggy mornings, birdsong, a hammock to lounge in. The sea-side branch offers sunsets and private pools.
5. Commitment to the Local & Sustainable
What’s appealing to modern travellers is the resort’s local roots and its eco-awareness. According to a feature:
“The resort also supports … employment opportunities, local sourcing support … conservation efforts and cultural preservation.” PIA Mirror
Stays here feel more than just a vacation — they feel like part of a story of place and community.
6. When to Go & Practical Tips
For clear skies and sunsets over the sea-cliff, choose Naasag; for cool mountain air and mornings in Binunsaran.
Note: The mountain branch may require a steeper drive / transport arrangement. Travel articles mention the setting is more remote. Tara Lets Anywhere
As one guest advised: “Bring what you need! It is a private and secluded space.” Tripadvisor
7. Why It’s Worth Visiting
If you’re looking for:
A boutique luxury stay that also honours nature & place
A resort where you’re truly seen (service is personal)
A hideaway that blends wellness, design and escape
Then Bintana sa Paraiso offers all that — and more. It’s not just about where you stay, but how you feel when you’re there.
đź“ť Final Thoughts
Incredible scenery, thoughtful design, warm hospitality, and local authenticity — Bintana sa Paraiso ticks the boxes that many travellers now prioritise. Whether you pick the cliff-side sea villas or the jungle mountain retreat, you’re signing up for an experience rooted in calm, beauty and meaning.
If you’ve been searching for a place on Camiguin that feels like it’s “off the beaten track,” but still luxurious, this just might be it.
