Enchanting Sambauan, an island in Maripipi, Biliran


The church and convent of the town of Maripipi

Across the church is the Adoration chapel of Maripipi which overlooks the sea.

The crystal blue waters of Sambauan beach near Maripipi island in the province of Biliran, Philippines is so inviting that one would just like to stay in the waters forever. This is an uninhabited island good for day tripping and camping.

From the town of Kawayan in Biliran island, where one takes off for Maripipi, the sunset is so breathtaking, its like being cuddled in the arms of God as one sails through the sunset.

  5. No words could ever describe how enchanting it is to set foot on this bottled island paradise! How I do know? I was raised in this island and spent a decade of my childhood here before moving out to a far place. Mind you, if you want tranquility and peace of mind, away from the cacophony of the urban jungles, this is your ideal place to be. Welcome aboard!
