Taste the Sweetness.
Taste
Guimaras.

Separated from Panay Island by a narrow 15-minute sea transfer, Guimaras presents a gentler, slower pace of island life. World-renowned for cultivating what is widely considered the sweetest mango in the world, this island province combines rolling agricultural hills and sun-drenched fruit orchards with quiet, white-sand coves and marine sanctuaries. Guimaras is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and savor farm-to-table sweetness.

Where Sweetness of the Mangoes meets the Serenity of the Sea.

Agri-Tourism & Mango Orchard Trails

Tour sprawling agricultural estates and research centers dedicated to preserving the purity of the Guimaras mango. Taste the famous fruit fresh from the branch, and sample creative culinary variations such as savory mango pizza, mango ketchup, and handmade preserves.

Island-Hopping & Marine Reserves

Cruise along the coastline to the Taklong and Tandog Islands National Marine Reserve. Swim through crystal-clear waters, snorkel around protected coral reefs home to diverse fish species, and visit quiet offshore islets like Ave Maria and Turtle Island.

Scenic Coastal Biking Trails

Explore the island’s smooth, rolling terrain on two wheels. Ride along scenic coastal routes, pass by the towering wind turbines of the San Lorenzo Wind Farm, and stop at elevated vantage points that offer sweeping views over the Panay Gulf.

Monastic Contemplation & Local Crafts

Visit the Abbey of Our Lady of the Philippines, the only Cistercian Trappist monastery in the country. Walk through its peaceful, shaded grounds, engage in quiet reflection, and purchase artisan food goods produced directly by the resident monks.
