Bellarocca Island Resort & Spa (Marinduque, Philippines)



Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa in Marinduque, Philippines just opened last February 14, 2009. The Mediterranean architecture sets it apart from other luxury resorts.






Marinduque is a quiet town I plan to explore soon. Popular for its Moriones Festival during lent season. But I am more excited that beyond the seaside cliffs and and valley hills, there are still a lot of unexplored caves, waterfalls, hot springs and distinct flora and faunas.

Only Zest Air offers flight to Marinduque four times a week.


The beauty of Marinduque is mystical, and the addition of a weekend getaway like Bellarocca Resorts is something that Philippines can be proud of. And its the closest I can get to my dream Santorini getaway for now.

The resort’s facility includes ten private villas, thirty hotel rooms (with diverse choice from hotel deluxe rooms, junior suites and 1-bedroom suites), food and beverage outlets and water sports activities and tours.

All villas are equipped with its own private infinity pool that look out into Sibuyan Sea. Individual golf carts are also provided.

Here’s more and I bet you’ll be checking for flights to Marinduque after reading:
Seaside Pavilion Eternity Pool with Sunken Bar
Natural Hot Spring Swimming Pool
Meditation Sanctuary with Pilates and Yoga Instructors
Tea House with uninterrupted view of the ocean
Picnic grove engulfed by lush tropical gardens
Seaside Cafe and Marina
Rejuvenating Spa services at the Hillside Spa Room

Hotel facilities include fine dining restaurant, Piano Lounge, lap pool for swimmers and deck beds for sun worshipers.

Unwind and relax to a total comfort zone surrounded by pristine water, lush garden, stunning sea side view and clear blue skies. Bellarocca has an ongoing promo that extends up to 40% off their Special Introductory rates until Oct. 31, 2009. Did I mention it is inclusive of a yacht / speedboat transfers from the Airport to the Island and back? Refreshments are served on board.

For golf enthusiast, Bellarocca offers a 9-hole golf course.

  2. I would like to comment about this island - Bellarocca Island resort And Spa. I know it's beautiful, and very expensive but it's worth it.

    Sa tingin ko, ndi kayo kikita agad kung ganyan ang ginagawa nyo. I know some people want private but most of the people want very approachable environment. And, ndi lahat ng tao mayaman. You should have low rent fee for those people who want to visit your island. Dapat din, my tour visit kayo and visiting hour. Marami kc ang gustong pumunta but they can't afford. Sana naman pde sa inyo ang tumingin lang sa loob.

  3. I am one of the folks of this town, where the island is situated and I have a lot of friends who are interested to be one of your guests.
    Naturally, they are asking the validity of what they've read and knew about the resort.But what can I share with them since I I dont even know whats really in, only what I've shared with them was how it looks like when it was PJM, where local tourist are given a chance to visit the place.What I'm really want to point out is that maybe if theres a possibility, why is it that the management accomodate local tourist on non-peak season and of affordable price? This could be one ways on how a common tao like me could help promote the tourism in the municipality. I'am pretty sure that this is a win-win approch. We also do not want to be a foriegner in our own home town. Good day!

  4. the point of the high prices set up by this hotel is to show that they want have an image of exclusivity that would attract the upper class crowd and guarantee them an exclusive and high class accommodations that no other LOWER class resorts would.. by lowering the prices in a resort such as bellarocca, you would be defeating the whole purpose of why it was made.

  6. Expnesive, yes, but on a lighter side i think this will spark many other business opportunities in Marinduque, particularly in Buenavista- where my parents are both from. I have been in this island long before it became Bellarocca. It was beautiful back then, and its is even more now. I don't seelots of sandy beaches in the photos though.
