San Roque is a gem in Guimaras province, offering a unique blend of nature and comfort. The region is famous for Binabaywan Beach, where crystal-clear waters meet white sandy coves. A major highlight is the 'Floating Cottages' and La Casita Water Cottage, allowing visitors to relax directly over the gentle waves and enjoy the sea breeze. Adventurers love visiting La Puerta El Paraizo, a place that lives up to its name and gives panoramic views of the archipelago. The coastline is dotted with impressive limestone rock formations typical of Guimaras. Culinarily, everything revolves around the world-famous sweet Guimaras mangoes and freshly prepared seafood dishes. Access is via ferry from Iloilo City to Jordan or Nueva Valencia, followed by a jeepney or tricycle ride. San Roque is convenient for island-hopping tours and has a peaceful atmosphere far from modern mass tourism.
