All of us are wanting that exclusive weekend getaway. That vacation we’ve always wanted, all away from the stress and hassle of the city life. Negros Occidental has made a buzz in taking that vacation fantasy up to the next level with Lakawon Island – the exclusive island escapade in Cadiz.
Lakawon Island is a 16-hectare island surrounded with white sand and crystal-clear water. Before, the island was not really that popular until a new management made renovations, making the island a top-tier tourist spot. Lakawon Island is a combination of its natural beauty and careful beautification and maintenance.
This island surely promises you that sweet escape as you need to ride a boat to get there. That’s right, the island resort is purely the island itself and this what makes it stand out among other resorts in the area. The island resort is also complete with modern facilities, along with its famed floating bar, the Taw Hai Floating Bar, also dubbed as the largest floating bar in Asia.
If frolicking within the island itself is not enough, there are other activities that can be done in the island such as snorkeling, kayaking, banana boat and many more.
