Kalinaw Inn — Hotel in Maria

A mystical enclave set deep in a jungle oasis. Booking at the Kalinaw Inn with Steve and Cherry was the best decision we made when deciding to visit Siquijor! You can learn firsthand why it is named the Isla del Fuego! Set high above the trees in a private and light-filled suite, we took in the breathtaking 360 panoramic view day and night. Wake up with the sun sparkling off turquoise waters in the distance and the singing of their lush garden and drift off to sleep with purple and orange sunsets and fireflies (so many!) as they dance among the branches of the many Tugas trees. There is a shared veranda on the second floor where you can gather and take in the scent of the garden. Honestly, it was heaven.

Eine magische und besondere Unterkunft. Man hat 360° Blick dank der Verspiegelung und gerade am Morgen hat man einen wunderschönen Ausblick auf den Sonnenaufgang.
