Dawn breaks over Panglao in bands of jade and silver, the tide slipping back from the sand as fishing boats idle on the horizon. On this luminous stretch of Bohol’s coastline, a new resort rises, inviting travelers to settle into the island’s unhurried rhythm.
With the debut of Lime Resort Bohol, the Radisson Hotel Group marks the arrival of its first Radisson Individuals Premier property in Southeast Asia. The 85-villa beachfront retreat blends contemporary design with authentic Filipino hospitality, pairing clean architectural lines with warm, island-inspired tones that echo sand, coral, and driftwood.
Steps from the shoreline, mornings unfold with sunrise swims and the hush of lapping waves. Afternoons drift between oceanfront loungers and three lagoon-style pools that mirror the changing sky. By dusk, the horizon becomes a stage for salt-tinged breezes and slow-sipped cocktails.
The loft-style villas—some with plunge pools or panoramic glass fronts—open to gardens, pools, or sea views. Inside, premium bedding, natural textures, rain showers, smart TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi, and minibars stocked with local refreshments create a retreat that feels polished yet grounded in place.
“Lime Resort Bohol is where modern island living meets authentic Filipino hospitality. As part of Radisson Individuals Premier, we are proud to introduce a resort that celebrates the beauty, culture, and warmth of Bohol while offering world-class comfort and design. Every stay here is crafted to inspire connection, with nature, with the community, and with oneself,” said Quyen Le, general manager of Lime Resort Bohol.
Dining here reads like a conversation with the island. Larder, the all-day restaurant, draws on Bohol’s seafood and farm produce, serving Filipino and Southeast Asian classics alongside international favorites. At Bar Paloma, fresh juices ease into crafted cocktails as the light softens, while Sunset Lounge turns twilight into a ritual of grilled specialties, shareable plates, wines, and tropical spritzes set against open water. The mood is social and seasonal, rooted in the locale without losing sight of global tastes.
Beyond the resort, Panglao and greater Bohol unfold in layers of limestone and legend. The iconic Chocolate Hills rise inland like a procession of earthen domes. Along the emerald Loboc River, villages glide past in quiet reflection, while divers slip beneath the surface at Balicasag Island to explore coral gardens alive with color. Sunlight filters into the cool chambers of Hinagdanan Cave, and local markets brim with woven crafts and the day’s catch—small reminders that Bohol’s heritage is as compelling as its scenery.
Sustainability shapes the resort’s daily operations. Solar panels supplement energy use, LED lighting and inverter A/C units reduce consumption, and water-saving fixtures conserve resources. A green housekeeping program cuts single-use plastics, while local sourcing and responsible waste management support community livelihoods in line with Radisson Hotel Group’s Responsible Business framework. Spa and fitness facilities are set to open in a later phase, rounding out a wellness offering shaped by sea and sun.
“Opening the first Radisson Individuals Premier in Southeast Asia Pacific is an exciting step for our growth in the Philippines and across the region. Lime Resort Bohol, a member of Radisson Individuals Premier, captures what this collection is about: distinctive properties with strong local character, elevated through Radisson standards and distribution. Panglao’s natural beauty, paired with thoughtful design and responsible operations, sets the tone for memorable stays and long-term owner value,” said Tim Cordon, chief operating officer for Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia Pacific of Radisson Hotel Group.
On Panglao’s shifting shoreline, where tides sketch and erase their own maps, Lime Resort Bohol stands as both vantage point and refuge—a place to watch the light change and, for a while, to change with it.
