Romblon is one of the Philippines’ most underrated island provinces. It has beautiful beaches, peaceful mountains, and delicious food that you can’t find anywhere else. This paradise has something special for everyone, whether you love the beach, nature, or food.

The Sandbar Jewel: Logbon Island

Logbon Island is part of Romblon’s popular three-isle tour. It is known for its long beach that runs along its western coast. The Logbon Sandbar, a narrow strip of clean white sand that runs from the island’s southeastern tip to the Romblon Beach and Dive Resort, is what makes it stand out.

This is a great place to see Bonbon Beach and Bang-og Island, two of the province’s most beautiful places. The Nabagbagan Rocks on the other side of the cove are very different from the calm blue waters. This makes for a great place to take pictures and see the sights.

Dad’s Bukid: A Quiet Place to Get Away in the Mountains

There are more things to do in Romblon than just go to the beach. Dad’s Bukid is a peaceful ecotourism farm on a mountainside in San Andres that encourages visitors to slow down and reconnect with nature.

Dad’s Bukid is 360 meters above sea level and has amazing views of the Tablas Highlands, including Pader Forest, Mt. Kang-ayong, and Mt. Ondok, which is known as Suso ng Dalaga because of its unique shape. Visitors can relax on the main viewing deck or the rustic log deck while enjoying the cool mountain air.

Dad’s Bukid is one of the first eco-destinations in the area. It promotes the “buhay-bukid” lifestyle, which is a simple, slow-paced way of living that values peace and nature. Guests are even encouraged to enjoy the “art of doing nothing,” which is a rare luxury in today’s busy world.

There are a few A-frame glamping huts available for people who want to stay the night. These simple but comfortable places to stay give you a real taste of the countryside, with fresh air and fog that comes and goes, making it feel like Tagaytay. With little or no cell phone service, it’s a great place for anyone who wants to unplug and recharge.

A Taste of Romblon: Sarsa, a Local Favorite

You can’t go to Romblon without trying Sarsa, a local dish that you can only find in the province. This one-of-a-kind dish is made with small shrimp caught in streams, young coconut, and chili. It is then wrapped in coconut leaves to give it a unique island flavor.

Sarsa is best with rice and is usually sold in local carinderias or wet markets, usually in the morning. It’s best to get some early before it runs out. This dish perfectly shows what Romblon’s food is all about: simple, fresh, and full of flavor.

Romblon is a place that has the best of both worlds: the calm of the sea and the peace of the mountains, plus a taste of real local culture. Romblon reminds every traveler that beauty is often found in simple things, whether you’re exploring Logbon Island’s sandbar, relaxing at Dad’s Bukid, or eating Sarsa at a local restaurant.
