There are direct flights from Manila Domestic Airport to Tagbilaran City on Bohol (1hr flight duration), alternatively, you can also take a boat from Cebu’s main jetty, and it takes two hours to get to Bohol (Tagbilaran jetty). Upon arrival, relish in the impossibly scenic drive along the heavenly coastal roads to reach the property (approx. 1.5hrs).

Fantastic Luxury Villa
An amazing high end villa situated on the beautiful island of Bohol. 5 star accommodation and service. The owners have clearly put a lot of care and attention into designing this tropical paradise getaway. Throughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful location.
The villa staff were very friendly and accommodating. Excellent service and great food menu. Really enjoyed soaking up the sun and the stunning view from the cliff edge infinity pool overlooking the sea. Enjoyed a day trip to the famous Chocolate Hills and ATV driving. Make sure to get up early and enjoy snorkeling in the calm clear blue sea.
A memorable place to relax and spend time with friends and family.

Tropical paradise
The best way to describe this villa is its like a balinese resort villa without the crowds and hype. Truly a gem of a find when you get there. The service was excellent with the resort manager May taking care of every of your request. We managed to book our island tour including transport through her. She even recommended the itinerary of what to see on which date to best accomodate your time spent on travelling. The villa also has direct access to the sea where you can snorkel freely( there are not many other people in this part of the bay), hence you don’t have to worry about a boat hitting you.

Excellent Service, Incredible Experience
Pure Shores Villa is a 5-bedroom dream villa situated on the sea-side cliffs of Guindulman, Bohol. Inspired by their lovely wedding reception in Bali, our hosts, Dean and Marcelle, built this from the ground up.
The seaside location offers spectacular sunset views from our rooms and the infinity pool. It’s also located literally beside a marine sanctuary, giving exclusive access to snorkeling and free diving activities among the rich and diverse marine life (including giant clams!).
Saying that the rooms are huge would be an understatement. They include seating areas, a workspace, a walk in closet, and a bathroom you can do calisthenics in ♂️. Pieces in all of the rooms in this luxurious villa have been handpicked and designed with a level of thoughtfulness of pampering guests as well as making them feel at home. This includes small details such as fresh water carafes in your room, toys and games for kids, a well-stocked library, and even bug spray in case you forgot to bring yours!
Resonating Filipino hospitality, the staff knows you by name and are ever so helpful and friendly. They’ll readily offer a towel or a glass of water, when you need it, even before you’ve asked for it. The entire villa was always neat and tidy in all hours of the day, you’d never guess there was a total of 8 kids in our weekend stay!
I have to give a special shoutout to Paul, our lifeguard, who went above and beyond by retrieving my drone precariously stuck on the cliff! He had to tow a long(!) aluminum ladder (swimming without any floaters nor flippers!) and prop it between the seabed and cliffside. Kitchen staff also helped me in creating a makeshift floating catching device using a rescue floater and towels, in case the drone fell towards the water. Rest assured, my drone was safe and never have I had a more exciting rescue mission before my morning coffee .
The kitchen prepares a variety of food fare, and I highly recommend the sisig (careful, it’s really spicy), Arrabiata, and their fresh Italian coffee. Bread is made fresh daily!
Thanks Dean and Marcelle, May the villa manager, and the rest of the crew for the incredible weekend experience! Looking forward to spending more time here!

“Paradise in Bohol”
If you are considering a vacation at Pure Shores villa I can assure you you will not be disappointed. From the very beginning communication with the owner, Dean, was thorough with quick replies. Our vacation was last minute due to a previous cancellation and Dean went above and beyond to reassure us and accommodate our large group of 8 adult and 8 kids (including 2 babies).
The villa is exquisite to say the least. You will make it feel like home very quickly and will not want to leave. Pictures on the website do not do the villa justice, it is the most perfect haven to escape to and relax in. What isn’t pictured is the amazing team of staff at Pure Shores, they have made our vacation here perfection. May, the manager has gone above and beyond to accommodate our requests, organized a videoke, sourcing a turkey at Christmas, Lechon for New Years dinner, trips and tours, diving, rides on local transport, she is awesome! The chef, Mel, provides the most delicious food both western and Filipino and he is always happy to recommend local dishes! Between the serving staff, pool staff, house keeping and security guards they have become part of our family, laughed with us, talked to us about local life, played with our children and are the nicest people you will meet.
There is access to the sanctuary via private steps which provides the perfect snorkeling opportunity if you get bored with the infinity pool! Make sure Paul shows you the beautiful large clams when you go.
Truly a gem in Bohol for the ultimate RnR, even better if you come with friends. We will be back again

I recently stayed for 9 memorable days at Pure Shores with 6 family members – it is a holiday I will simply never forget! It was relaxing, extremely comfortable, luxurious, peaceful, classy, chilled.. And I know I will be back for more in the future.
I researched the villa prior to booking and the owners, Dean and Marcelle, were very helpful throughout the process. The villa is like no other I’ve witnessed before. The quality is clear to see throughout and makes for an extremely comfortable stay. The location and scenery is breathtaking- my idea of paradise. We were more than happy with the assistance we received from the Pure Shores staff. In true Filipino style, they were so helpful, thoughtful and considerate but most impressively, they were pro active and driven to cater for our needs.
Our age range varied greatly and naturally, so did our interests. I was keen to experience what the local area had to offer in terms of activities and the staff arranged all our requests once we spoken about what was available- snorkelling, scuba diving, Cabagnow (stunning!) and chap (activity centre incl zip line, tree top walk, bike zip). Other family members wanted to visit the local white sands, private beaches, waterfalls (the most impressive was Canomantad), Lumayag Sandbar, Candijay rice terraces, historic caves such as the ones on Lamanok island and Agipo viewpoint. Pure Shores were able to book all tours as well as providing very cheap transport each day. The staff are local and could easily accommodate all of our requests with the many connections they have. Many of these stunning places were only found because of the local knowledge the staff have- you won’t find many of them in lonely planet, rough guides etc.
During our stay, we could also order in treatments at a fraction of the cost compared to back home- these included hour long full body massages outdoors in the cabana, as well as manicures and pedicures.
The food and drink provided was exceptional and there is a clear emphasis on buying local, fresh produce while again catering for our needs. Throughout our stay we had a fantastic choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The typical western tastes are catered for along with Asian/ local cuisine. A great amount of time and effort is put into preparing all meals and drinks- the highlight for me was the fresh trevally which was caught that morning by a local fisherman in addition to a local pork dish (humba) which again was outstanding in terms of taste, flavour and value for money. The portions were also very generous if you wanted more.
I felt compelled to review pure shores given the extraordinary time we spent there. By the end, I was sad to leave this luxurious getaway which is made so much more enjoyable by the natural beauty of the area and the hospitality you receive there from both staff and locals. If you do choose Pure Shores, you are guaranteed to have one memorable holiday.

The BEST villa in Bohol bar none!
What a property! Pure Shores really impresses as soon as you enter the gates. Perched high on a clifftop overlooking the simply stunning bay, the size and grandeur nature of the villa makes you feel like a celebrity. Our friends got engaged on this trip, and the warm owner Dean went out of his way to extend our stay and ensure that they had an amazing story to tell their future children where they popped the question!
The pool is epic inviting you in for a quick dip at all times, even being lit up with different coloured lights adding a romantic mood in the evenings. The Sanctuary room where we stayed is its own exclusive area past the pool down some stairs, giving you that added private space if you are traveling with a group or large family. The restaurant and dining area is like a professional Michelin-star spot, with different dishes being whipped up by the smiling chefs whenever you like.
Our staff were very accommodating, and helped us get from A to B, as Bohol island is actually quite large so you need to be organized if you want to go exploring! The place really a hidden treasure, your own palace in an area where there are not many tourists, despite being so close to popular Cebu. We grabbed some motorbikes and checked out the nearby beaches and Chocolate Hills lookout, with the amazing locals everywhere waving and saying hello as we went past. Overall, a picture-perfect holiday, leaving fantastic memories for all of us. 5 Stars!
