Description
White sand? Clear waters? Chill feel? Where do you go? ?
Lakawon Island is the place to be!
An hour or two away from the City of Bacolod, Lakawon Island is a hidden paradise—a tourist destination spot that one shouldn’t miss when visiting Negros Occidental. Lakawon Island is totally instagrammable—boasting of its beautiful scenery, pristine white sand, and blue waters. It is also home to Asia’s largest floating bar: Tawhai. Tawhai is a local word which means “relaxed”, and surely, it lives up to its name.
