Punta Bulata: shores of paradise

wonder | wander | women grew up in the ocean. Ever since our youth, we practically lived at the beach a few months out of the year. No matter how much we loved our adopted homelands, we yearned for the warm seas of home.


Punta Bulata Resort and Spa is a small strip of tropical heaven four hours' drive away from Bacolod City. The resort is owned by family friends and constructed with local materials like coconut wood, nipa thatch and salvaged driftwood, leaving the impression that you're staying in a garden and not the sterile concrete palaces that are becoming popular in other parts of the country.

warm island seas

wonder | wander | women have not been back to the island of our birth since prior to the pandemic. Now that our tickets are booked for our imminent return, we are eager and excited to get back. Aside from family and friends, we miss our warm lush ocean, teeming with tropical delights.

Both to embrace in wanton abandon and to eat to our hearts content. They say we don't fully appreciate home until we leave it. Our heritage and history were something we lived daily and ignored most of the time.

Now that we have moved away, when we are in the UK and US, we miss the delicacies and treats of the Philippines. Then when we're back there we miss the comforts and conveniences we have over here.
