Exploring Negros Occidental 🌊

Seaside Serenity & Historic Charm in Negros Occidental 🌴🏖️🏛️
Lakawon Island pampers you with crystal-clear waters and powdery shores—the perfect spot to de-stress and soak up the Philippine sun. Meanwhile, The Ruins, with its hauntingly beautiful mansion remains, offers a photogenic slice of history that shouldn’t be missed.

✨ Itinerary Highlights:
Start your day early at Lakawon Island. Catch a morning ferry from Cadiz Viejo Port to enjoy tranquil views and fewer beach crowds. Chill out in a bamboo hut or, for the ultimate relaxation, sip a cocktail at the iconic floating bar. Don't forget to comb the white-sand beaches for super serene shots, especially during sunrise or sunset for that golden glow (the calm sea is so soothing—a perfect break from busier tourist hotspots!).

By afternoon, head to The Ruins in Talisay City. Arrive before 5 PM for softer lighting that brings out the mansion’s romantic atmosphere and intricate Italian architecture—it's a top "insta-worthy" angle, especially if you get the garden framed in the background. The Ruins is open Mon–Wed, Fri–Sun from 9:00 AM–8:00 PM, so you have plenty of time to explore every corner.

📝 Quick Tips & Precautions:
Book Lakawon boat tickets ahead in peak season and pack light (bring waterproof bags!). At The Ruins, wear comfy shoes and bring water/sunscreen; the grounds can get hot. Always double-check the return ferry times from Lakawon!
