Amarella Resort Bohol Review 2026: A Private Fairytale Escape

For me, to truly feel like I've had a proper rest, I always seek out quiet, private spots, even if they're smaller, rather than bustling, large resorts.

During my two trips to Bohol,

I consistently bypassed all the famous, large accommodations.

There's one place I've included in my itinerary both times without a second thought.

It's a serene, fairytale-like haven with only about 30 rooms,

a true hidden gem known to those in the know:

Bohol Amarella Resort.

I'll be sharing my return visit review of this genuinely private healing retreat,

where I made unforgettable memories with my child when they were little,

and which felt just as warm and peaceful when I revisited it years later :)

The Privacy of ~30 Rooms

A Fairytale Ambiance

While large resorts near Alona Beach might be dazzling and bustling,

Amarella, from the moment you step into its garden and lobby,

feels like entering a secret garden straight out of a fairytale.

With only around 30 rooms in total, it's a small-scale resort,

meaning you'll rarely bump into others no matter where you stroll.

You can enjoy the pool or beach almost as if you have it all to yourself,

in perfect solitude.

Unlike large resorts with noisy hallways,

here, opening your room door leads directly to a lush green garden and the sea,

feeling like our own private sanctuary :)

The antique wooden furniture, soothing to the eyes,

along with charming, well-loved decor items,

and a beautifully maintained garden, all come together.

Every time natural light streams in,

it truly makes you feel like you're in a foreign land.

An Exclusive Private Beach Perfect for Families with Kids

One of Amarella's biggest charms is

its exclusive private beach, reserved just for guests to enjoy in peaceful tranquility.

Even when I visited with my child when they were young,

it was wonderful to be able to play in the sand and swim in the clear sea

without feeling self-conscious or bothered by crowds.

When you head down to the beach, they offer free rentals of everything from sand toys to kayaks, paddleboards, and life vests,

Honestly, I don't think there's a better accommodation in Bohol

for a family trip with kids.

And at the pool, there's absolutely no need to rush out early in the morning

to snag a sunbed.

The true charm of a private beach resort is being able to use it peacefully whenever you want.

Lying on a sunbed and listening to the gentle sounds of the sea,

I couldn't help but feel, "Now this is what true relaxation feels like" :)

A Restaurant Where Every Dish is Delicious

Unlike the chaotic buffet breakfasts at large resorts,

Amarella allows you to enjoy a refined breakfast in a tranquil garden setting,

choosing your preferred time and menu.

Breakfast is a simple buffet,

featuring fresh fruit, warm bread, and egg dishes

all perfectly combined.

The local and seafood dishes ordered for lunch or dinner

also perfectly suited my taste, highlighting the natural flavors of the ingredients.

Thanks to the staff's uniquely kind and attentive smiles,

I felt wonderfully pampered throughout my stay.

Since there aren't many guests,

the staff remembered our family

and proactively took care of our needs, making us feel like we received one-on-one care.

These details combined are probably why I chose this resort again,

even visiting Bohol twice :)

Pre-Booking Checklist

Amarela Resort is located in a quiet spot

slightly away from the bustling center of Alona Beach.

Thanks to this, you can escape the crowds of tourist areas and truly relax.

When you need to venture out, a tuk-tuk ride takes just over 10 minutes,

making it easy to enjoy meals or massages.

There are about four room types,

and since my child was young at the time,

I used the Deluxe Room and the Superior Twin Room.

The Superior Rooms, located on the upper floor,

are flooded with natural light

and offer beautiful views overlooking both the pool and the private beach.

The view is truly stunning.

The Deluxe Rooms on the first floor are close to the pool,

making it more convenient for the child to go back and forth for water play.

💡 Amarela Resort has

a limited number of rooms, around 30,

so rooms for desired dates sell out quickly.

If your Bohol itinerary is set,

you'll need to book faster than for other accommodations!

✔ For those who need a quiet, relaxed getaway

rather than a crowded, noisy large resort

✔ For those who want to capture plenty of amazing photos

at a charming and antique-chic, atmospheric accommodation

✔ For those who want to dedicate the last part of their Bohol itinerary

to a completely relaxing and restorative experience!

How about creating a truly healing experience

at the fairy-tale-like Amarela Resort,

which offered the ultimate relaxation on two Bohol trips?
