Discover Bohol:
Where Nature, Heritage,
and Sea Converge

Bohol is balance.

It is where centuries-old churches stand near lush jungles, where rolling hills meet turquoise seas, and where island-hopping becomes something extraordinary when done in privacy.

For many travelers, Bohol is a day trip.

For CILYC guests, it becomes a curated coastal experience.

A Glimpse Into Bohol’s History

Bohol holds a significant place in Philippine history.

In 1565, Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi forged the historic Blood Compact with local chieftain Datu Sikatuna — symbolizing one of the earliest treaties between Filipinos and Spaniards.

For luxury guests, this creates a powerful pairing:
