HUMA ISLAND RESORT & SPA in Busuanga, Palawan, Philippines

We landed in Busuanga and had to take a boat to the resort. The super fast "Luisa" cut the trip by half, taking us there in less than 30 minutes.

Our villa was stocked with lovely hand-woven souvenirs.

We were also welcomed with fresh fruits and a bottle of rose!

We admired the lovely view of sea and mountains from our very own jacuzzi.

The bathroom decor was very understated but luxurious. And of course, I brought my Biyahe PH bag with me! (Follow @biyaheph on Instagram)

My Biyahe PH bag lounged around with us.

I like that I was able to take a photo of us without showing our mugs!

The other villas were equally stunning. Inspired by the nipa hut.

We tried to explore the whole island in the two days that we stayed there.

A stroll around Huma Island.

We were the only guests at the pool. 

Island living. Not bad.

Sand and sea, but the sun was quickly disappearing as two typhoons approached the Philippines.

Arab-Filipino fusion: an Arabic-inspired chandelier attached to a bamboo ceiling.

The water villas, where we stayed. It was awesome.
Busuanga sunset.

It was raining hard by day two, but that didn't stop us from using the jacuzzi. Making the most of our holiday.

Rudi's Wine and Cheese Bar. Rudi designed the place but passed away recently. We celebrated his life by ordering two bottles of vino and a large cheese plate.


My favorite part of the holiday!

The glass flooring let us view the fish and other sea creatures as we enjoyed a relaxing massage!

Huma's spa makes use of organic coconut oil and other natural ingredients.

The weather was gloomy, but we couldn't be happier :)
