A LITTLE BIT OF
BALINGHAI HISTORY
Baling Hoi = cassava plant
When Otik purchasedBalingHai in 1983, it was nothing more than
bushes, rocks and kamote plantation. Step-by-step, the place has
grown to what it is for today. With much courage, supportive friends
and family,BalingHai has been one of the most kept secrets on
the island. Just as we used the light of the moon to navigate
our manual bangkas in the very beginning, our cottages were once
nipa huts as accommodations. With time, we have evolved and changed
our materials into rock, cement and hard wood. We combine local
minerals with modern facilities to keep the charm of the bungalows.
We
createdBalingHai based on the strong memories of our first nights
in Boracay, when practically no one inhabited the island. We built
BalingHai with detailed memories we knew we wanted to withhold
and share with others today. The privacy of swimming in a calm
and private ocean; the white sands; the comforting yet intense
darkness that enabled the starry sky & the Milky Way to shine
in the night; the sound of nature; the geckos climbing the walls~
this is what Boracay was, and thankfully still is........... at
BalingHai.
We
are proud to hear over the years from our visitors, after having
stayed with us here, they have returned to their homes with new
impressions on life, and feel recharged.BalingHai, as you can
see, is more than just a resort to us, it is our home, and a peaceful
lifestyle. Our doors are open to you. Come join Us!
