Les Maisons d’Itac.

Tucked away on the southwestern coast of Cebu, Les Maisons d’Itac is a quiet, six-room retreat that trades resort-complex chaos for the stillness of a private beachfront. The property sits directly in front of the Ronda Marine Sanctuary, a protected breeding ground where giant clams and sea cucumbers are easily spotted just offshore. Accommodation is spread across a small collection of studios and villas, some featuring open terraces that look out over the Tanon Strait. Days here are dictated by the tides; guests can switch between snorkeling in the sanctuary, archery, or canoeing along the coast. It is a purposefully slow-paced environment where the focus remains on the garden setting and the sound of the water, offering a secluded alternative to the busier tourist hubs nearby.
