Anda

Anda is Bohol’s under-the-radar destination, offering a serene and pristine alternative to the more developed tourist spots. Located on the eastern tip of Bohol, it is defined by the remarkable Quinale Beach, a long stretch of fine, talcum-white sand that rivals the best beaches in Southeast Asia. Unlike other beach destinations, Anda remains quiet and laid-back, preserving a sense of local community and natural peace. It is also famous for its deep blue cave pools, like Cabagnow, where you can take a refreshing dip in limestone-filtered waters. The resort scene here provides both luxury and rustic charm. Anda de Boracay and its sister property, Anda de Boracay White Sand Resort, offer premier access to the shoreline, while the Old Castle provides a unique, themed experience for guests. For a more adventurous and grounded stay, D Camp Bilagan White Beach has a closer connection to the coastal elements. Anda is also a rising star in the diving world, with healthy coral walls and a vast array of marine biodiversity just offshore. Beyond the beach, visitors can explore the mystical Lamanoc Island, known for its prehistoric cave paintings and folklore. Dining in Anda is a treat, with local seafood being the main attraction. The town's plaza and church offer a glimpse into the local way of life. If you are looking for a destination that combines white sand luxury with raw natural wonders and cultural depth, Anda is the excellent Bohol escape.
