Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort is 24 hectare island paradise is surrounded by crystal clear waters with varying aquamarine hues. It is also known for its sandbar for its changing shapes and shifting locations around the island, depending on the season. It is located at the southern tip of Cebu island in Central Philippines. It remains as one of Cebu’s best kept secrets and is very popular with divers.

Sumilon island has a natural lagoon teeming with high mangroves. There are also natural caves where fishermen used to seek refuge. On the southside, a lighthouse rests on a protected tree park. Beside it is a “Baluarte”, a historical watchtower built as part of a warning system to thwart slavers and marauders in the 19th century.

Sumilon island is the first marine protected area in the Philippines and was made a fish sanctuary in 1974 under the guidance of Siliman University Marine Reserve.
