Stayed last week with my family and we were blown away! There were 9 of us, 7 adults and 2 children (ages 3 and 6), and this accommodation was perfect for us. The staff was helpful, responsive, and so friendly. Every meal was delicious and fresh. And the villa itself exceeded every expectation. It was a clean & beautiful home, designed with attention to detail and comfort. We did not want to leave and want to come back as soon as possible! We will definitely be returning.

It’s a wonderful place, and everything is excellent. We will come back again.

There is the someone who has never been here, but there is no someone who has came here only once. I will visit here again. thank you.

This villa is nothing less than an amazing experience that anybody in Bohol (or planning a trip in Bohol) must stay at. It is away from the Panglao island at Anda, but it is also exclusive and gives you once a lifetime experience at relaxation. It includes an exclusive snorkeling spot stairs down from the villa. The rooms are very spacious and modern. The outdoor patio comes with an infinity view of the ocean along with the infinity pool right next to it for the best sunset spot in town. The staffs at the villa are super attentive and would coordinate for whatever asked from the guests – one of the kingly / queenly treatment and highlight of our trip. The host has also been very accommodating and fast at responding any questions – Dean is the man! I would highly recommend anyone at Bohol to check out this villa for their next vacation destination.

After a full day of tourism; zip lining, ATV riding and a lunch on the Lombok river, that the house manager helped us set up in advance. We were greeted at the door with welcome drinks, cold towels and a tour of the house. This was completely unexpected and above and beyond what any airbandb host would do. When I booked this home I did not realize it came fully staffed and the staff were excellent – polite and attentive. This is not your typical Airbnb. I expected a clean, comfortable luxury villa. I was pleasantly surprised to recieve much more than that. The beach was a short drive away due to the unfortunate earthquake that ruined the stairs. The villa is not a hotel. This is a luxury villa that operates like a five star resort. you cannot bring in outside food or drinks but why would you want to, The chef will make you anything you want and the menus are complete with many options. We would definitely come back, we created great family memories without having to lift a finger. The owner, the house manager and the staff sincerely want to create an environment that you will remember and cherish forever. Dean and the house manager, May, made a personal effort to communicate with me all of the details that needed to be addressed before during and after our stay at the Villa.

Everything about this villa is amazing. It’s brand new and it’s clear Dean spared no expense in making it perfect. The pictures don’t do this house justice, it’s insanely gorgeous. Inside and out.

There was a typhoon approaching the weekend we stayed so the water and wind made some of the normal Bohol activities less than appealing, but Dean helped us figure out some options and arranged for a driver to bring us.

We were treated to fresh Buko when we arrived, which was a perfect way to start off a weekend in paradise. May and the rest of the staff were extremely attentive and helpful, not flinching at even some of our more ridiculous requests.

We were all secretly hoping that the typhoon would cause our flights to be canceled so we could stay at the house for just a bit longer. A sign of a great vacation 🙂

Fantastic property with outstanding views across the Bohol Sea. Food was excellent and staff were very helpful and attentive. A truly 5 star experience

Nice villa &staff, wonderful cliff villa. Also a nice place for free-dive divers.

We are very well traveled, but I can say I have never felt as pampered as I do here! The staff is amazing and has all of your needs and wants covered. This is truly a vacation in that, your every need is met! AMAZING!!!!!

Amazing place to unwind.

Scenic views
Amazing dining
Impeccable service
Genuine hospitality
Comfort and cleanliness
Proximity to incredible experiences
Staff support

Pure Shores Villa is the best! The rooms are big, beautifully furnished and clean every day. The staff was so nice, they were there for me and my friends all the time, ready to serve, we felt soooo nice. Even if it rained 3 days, May helped us not to get bored and gave us anything we asked for, she also helped us with different trips and even arranged for us to get massage at the villa.The pool was great and the villa has the best surroundings view I ever saw. If I ever have the chance to go back to Philippines, for sure I’ll stay here again. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing stay at Pure Shores Villa. The accommodation, staff, views and location were comparable to some of the best known destinations in the world. Communications between the owner Dean and myself prior to our stay were very informative and he made sure everything went according to plan. We had 2 events during our stay. My wedding and my daughters christening. Dean was a great help to ensure both ran smoothly. The villa manager May and her staff were so accommodating and created a perfect environment that allowed us and our guests to relax. The food prepared by the villa chefs was delicious and we miss it already. Especially the fish tacos! My wife and I and 4 other couples including 2 babies under 1 year old stayed at PSV for 8 days and it was one of the best breaks we have ever had. We will be back next year…

Can’t wait to go back, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY have been telling everyone about pure shores Bohol

The Villa is breath taking, the pool, the view and the food is all amazing! Good for family trip! Service is excellent too! Staff are very attentive and helpful. We love it!

We are 11 people aged from 9 to 75yrs old and there is something to keep everyone happy. We’ve been here less than 24 hours and we’ve snorkelled in the sea, dined alfresco, spent hours in the pool, lounged in the sun and in the shade and most of all we all had a great nights sleep. The food is plentiful and flavoursome and the setting is just amazing. We are looking forward to enjoying the next 48 hours with more of the same, starting with some spa therapies this afternoon. #relaxingholidays #bliss #ultimatedowntime #fivestars #greatforkids #theyvethoughtifeverything

Beautiful paradise… the staff were amazing and I couldn’t ask for anything more…. best time ever

I recently stayed at Pure Shores Villa with 10 friends. We had an amazing two days/nights. Even on our third day in Bohol, staff and owner assisted us with our day adventure to chocolate hills prior to our move to our second hotel. I found this gem last minute due to the closure of Boracay, but we are beyond pleased with our stay. Our group decided to stay and enjoy the villa for the 2days/nights there. The food was perfect, especially the Boodle Fight. Staff are extremely kind and helpful. The owner Dean even spoke to me on the phone prior to our arrival to get a better understanding of who we are and what our end goals are for our stay at the villa. The home is modern with an islander twist and the rooms are large with very comfortable beds. It is an extremely beautiful sight to see whether day or night, but most especially at night when all the lights are on. We had massages each day and night outside, and we swam in the infinity pool and private marine sanctuary all day. Who knew how enjoyable 2 days of isolation would be. I highly recommend this place. I will surely come back in the future! Thank you for having us. It was quite memorable.

Holiday of a lifetime villa. Beautiful villa with the finest finishes. The team are wonderful and make your stay absolutely unforgettable!

If you are considering a vacation at Pure Shores villa I can assure you you will not be disappointed. From the very beginning communication with the owner, Dean, was thorough with quick replies. Our vacation was last minute due to a previous cancellation and Dean went above and beyond to reassure us and accommodate our large group of 8 adult and 8 kids (including 2 babies).

The villa is exquisite to say the least. You will make it feel like home very quickly and will not want to leave. Pictures on the website do not do the villa justice, it is the most perfect haven to escape to and relax in. What isn’t pictured is the amazing team of staff at Pure Shores, they have made our vacation here perfection. May, the manager has gone above and beyond to accommodate our requests, organized a videoke, sourcing a turkey at Christmas, Lechon for New Years dinner, trips and tours, diving, rides on local transport, in house spa treatments and massages, she is awesome! The chef, Mel, provides the most delicious food both western and Filipino and he is always happy to recommend local dishes! Between the serving staff, pool staff, house keeping and security guards they have become part of our family, laughed with us, talked to us about local life, played with our children and are the nicest people you will meet.

There is access to the sanctuary via private steps which provides the perfect snorkeling opportunity if you get bored with the infinity pool! Make sure Paul shows you the beautiful large clams when you go.

Truly a gem in Bohol for the ultimate RnR, even better if you come with friends. We will be back again

My friends and I arrived at 7pm and Pure Shores staff welcomed us with their signature welcome drinks and cold towel. This set the level of pampering we experienced during our stay.

The villa is even better than what we saw in the pictures. The rooms were airy and the bathrooms were very big. And just love the bed, pillows and sheets. The owners really picked high quality stuff.

After you enter the villa, you feel secluded. The amenities just makes it feel like having a resort all to yourself. Swim in the pool or go down the cliff to a marine sanctuary or just chill and watch the sunset. And the bar was fully stocked too.

Seeing the place, i thought of squeezing in a yoga practice. And surprise, they even had a mat I could use.

The staff recommended places to visit. They all sounded great but somehow we felt that we had everything we needed and never even ventured out of the villa. I guess now we have another reason to go back.

When you pack, dont forget to bring OOTDs galore as the villa is highly instagrammable.

Many thanks to the staff especially – May, chef Mel and Aying – for making it an extra special weekend.

The BEST villa in Bohol bar none.

What a property! Pure Shores really impresses as soon as you enter the gates. Perched high on a clifftop overlooking the simply stunning bay, the size and grandeur nature of the villa makes you feel like a celebrity. Our friends got engaged on this trip, and the warm owner Dean went out of his way to extend our stay and ensure that they had an amazing story to tell their future children where they popped the question!

The pool is epic drawing you in for a quick dip at all times, even being lit up with different coloured lights adding a romantic mood in the evenings. The Sanctuary room where we stayed is its own exclusive area past the pool down some stairs, giving you that added private space if you are traveling with a group or large family. The restaurant and dining area is like a professional Michelin-star spot, with different dishes being whipped up by the smiling chefs whenever you like.

Our staff were very accommodating, and helped us get from A to B, as Bohol island is actually quite large so you need to be organized if you want to go exploring! The place really a hidden treasure, your own palace in an area where there are not many tourists, despite being so close to popular Cebu. We grabbed some motorbikes and checked out the nearby beaches and Chocolate Hills lookout, with the amazing locals everywhere waving and saying hello as we went past. Overall, a picture-perfect holiday, leaving fantastic memories for all of us. 5 Stars!

Wonderful luxurious and relaxing vacation

In March 23 we were able to spend one of the most relaxing and luxurious vacation you can ever imagine. We are a group of 5 people around 60 years old and our son who is 25 years and sitting in a wheelchair. The villa is located in a quiet surrounding, away from the trouble in Panglao. We were picked up at the Airport and had an easy 2-hour ride to the villa. Arriving at Pure Shores Villa you find the building in an extraordinary well maintained condition. Everything is build in a high-quality way, no cheap materials. All the existing equipment is working very well, and we also had a stable Wifi-connection, which was easy to connect with. The views over the warm pool, including a whirlpool are magnificent and the sunset is awesome. We enjoyed the comfortable sunbeds and the lounges in the cabana, where you always can find a nice breeze. Eating and dining in the villa is a wonderful experience. You can choose from a wide variety of meals and dishes and they are freshly cooked to your order. We especially enjoyed the Philippine meals. Having a handicapped son we were happy to have a bedroom on the ground floor with an almost wheelchair accessible outdoor-shower with only one step. The employees were always very helpful lifting our son in or out of the pool. Here the lifeguard has to be named, as well as the waiter who was also very caring. Not to forget the other staff, taking care of the house, the bedrooms and everything else. A very special thanks goes to May, who was always around and coordinating everything. She was extremely helpful in getting my wife some contact-lenses and some brand new motorbikes for us to explore the island. It was always easy to get into contact with our host Dean. He quickly replied to all our enquiries, was helpful and extremely kind, even inviting us to some drinks. The final payment before departure was well organized and handled via credit card without any problems. To put it in a nutshell, we can say that we feel like having spent this vacation in heaven and we can recommend Pue Shores Villa to any guest who wants to experience some calm and relaxing holidays in a luxurious atmosphere and a beautiful surrounding.

A great holiday vacation

My first visit to the Philippines & the island of Bohol was the perfect location. Pure Shores Villa is everything the photos & reviews claim it is. It was the ideal spot to chill out & recharge the batteries. The villa was well appointed, with beautiful furnishings throughout, it oozes luxury! We had the most perfect weather so spent the majority of our stay out in the grounds. The infinity pool & spa was ideal temperature & we spent many hours in there, always finishing the day with a large choice of sunset beverages served by the lovely staff. The poolside cabana was great for lounging around & playing some games & also where the manager organized for our rejuvenating massages, complete with the picturesque backdrop of the Bohol Sea. The staff were very attentive & thanks also goes to the chef & his kitchen crew for the lovely selections of meals provided. I certainly hope we can return for another holiday in the future.

Pure Shores Villa, Pure Bliss

Pure Shores Villa, Pure Bliss Perched on the cliff overlooking the Bohol Sea, Pure Shores Villa is just the pure depiction of bliss. The villa is located in a secluded area of Guindulman, accessible within a two-hour drive via a scenic coastal route from Tagbilaran airport. Pure View: We were fortunate with the weather in mid-October. Blue sky with soft clouds said hello in the morning, and breathtaking sunsets prompted timely for our wine o’clock. The marine life around the villa is stunning. It is easily accessible through the stairway down from the estate: the crystal clear water houses beautiful corals, sea turtles, and colourful fish. Pure Hospitality: From the moment we walked in until we bid farewell, the staff always greeted us with excellent service and beautiful smiles. The kitchen staff remembered the unique coffee style that one would have before and after the meal and the individual preferred water temperature. The sliding doors around the house were always opened every morning to welcome the sunrise and fresh air. The same doors and curtains were closed, and the lights were turned on to prompt our rest time. The towels around the pool were always fresh. Pure Delicious: Fabulous meals with the freshest ingredients were cooked to order. Our most challenging job during our one-week stay was to decide what we wanted to have for breakfast, lunch and dinner because we wanted them all. Must-try dishes: Kinilaw (like Ceviche), Pork Humba (tender pork, salted black beans, and an assortment of spices), Tap/Bangsilok (beef/milkfish, garlic rice, egg), Sinigang (tamarind soup with the protein of your choice), Kalamansi Crumble, Mango Float, Buko Salad (gentle warning; it is a fruit cocktail made from shredded coconut with condensed milk suitable more for desert instead of your usual salad). Obviously, you should not leave the place before trying the Boodle Fight. It is a culinary experience where dishes are served on top of banana leaves and communally eaten. Cutlery required is your clean fingers. Don’t worry; the food was so generously prepared that no one had to fight to get their beautifully grilled fish, squid filled with mango salsa, roasted pork, noodle, rice and, of course, the grilled aubergine – the star of the fight show. Stop it. We are drooling. Pure Fun: Dean organised excellent excursions. We explored the village life around the Loboc River. We did a stand-up paddleboard and watched fireflies on the Loboc River. The second excursion was all about the size. First, we snorkelled around the gentle giants; Whale Sharks! Amazing! Then, we encountered one of the smallest primates; Tarsiers. We closed the day by climbing the viewpoint at the Chocolate Hills and holding on to our lives whilst riding on rough, stony, muddy and extremely wet terrain around the hills in our ATVs. Pure Haven: The villa is visually stunning both inside and out. We love the gorgeous stairs leading to our bedroom on the second floor. We adore all the reading nooks. At one point, we set an hourly timer to ensure we kept moving from one reading spot to another. We spent a lot of time in its infinity pool and jacuzzi whilst gazing at the ocean, well-manicured garden and the stars. Last, we took pleasure in their yoga shala. What a marvellous experience to practice our yoga whilst looking at the stunning ocean. Namaste, Dean, Marcelle, Finn and all the Pure Shores Villa staff. We had a magnificent time. We will certainly return and highly recommend this exquisite estate for true bliss.

Luxurious Private Villa That Can Host Your Entire Family or Large Group of Friends

Just spent a blissful week in this amazing piece of paradise. Our first overseas holiday post Covid. We travelled from Western Australia for a family catch up at the Villa. As soon as we entered the property through the ornate gates & into lush, neatly manicured grounds, we were immersed in the tranquility of this place. Friendly staff met us with their signature Welcome Drink & cooling face towels which was refreshing after a day spent travelling. We stayed in Room 5, separate from the main house & under the cabana area. The room was just perfect. It was clean, spacious, had a very comfy bed but best of all was our views over the water. We went to sleep with the curtains open & it was so peacefully quiet. There was the occasional hum of a local’s fishing boat going through the sanctuary, a few fireflies glowing in the night’s blackness & some twinkling lights across the bay. Waking up to beautiful views of the sun glistening on the water is so magical. Our private little balcony overlooking the sea was the perfect backdrop for a few relaxing holiday massages. We experienced therapists to pamper with pedicures, massages & even a session with a healer all at incredibly reasonable prices. I want to praise May who is the House Manager. She was fun, friendly, spoke very good English & catered to our every need. I was lucky enough to accompany her on one of her daily market trips to get the fresh produce which was a buzz. The entire staff were very attentive to anything we needed. It’s difficult to fault the food other than portion sizes being a little too large, especially when you want to order dessert as well! Chef Mel & his team provided meals of a high standard with the freshest of seafood selections & many delicious dishes to choose from. He was happy to cater to our various requests both on & off the menu. Experiencing the Philippine ‘Boodle Fight’ was an awesome cultural experience for us. Everything you need for a perfect relaxing stay is right there at the Villa. Uninterrupted ocean views from the clifftop provide amazing sunset drinks in the infinity pool, plenty of fun lawn games for the little kids (& competitive adults) & venture down the steps where you can snorkel with ease in the safety of the protected marine sanctuary. If you decide to venture past the front gates there is just so much to see & do around beautiful Bohol. We took a few day tours to explore the culture & countryside but there’s still so much more to experience. Thanks to the owner Dean for organizing some epic days out with comfortable vans & safe drivers. Our highlights would definitely include swimming with whale sharks (a must do), riding ATVs, Stand-Up Paddleboards & Village tours, seeing the fireflies phenomenon & visiting secluded pristine beaches. Thank you for an amazing, memorable holiday.

Ultimate Dream Vacation for Company Retreat
We stayed at Pure Shores Villa for a company retreat. In all there were 17 people and the villa along with the guest house fit us very comfortably.
What can I say about Pure Shores Villa….. from the moment you walk in you are greeted with a level of hospitality and comfort only a 5 star resort can offer.
Breathtaking sunsets, superb meals with the freshest quality ingredients cooked to order at a moments notice. The staff from the cooks, the servers and the maids attend to your every need with a smile and pleasure to be there for you for whatever you may need.
May (the villa manager) is an absolute angel. She and her team go over and above any expectations you have and are there to help make sure your vacation or retreat is both fun and relaxing for all involved.
They planned a Lecheon celebration, nightly karaoke, massages by the ocean and day trips to Chocolate Hills, White Beach for snorkeling and adventure parks for the adrenaline rush we all seek on vacation.
The drinks were always cold and mere second away, the towels were fresh and the beds were perfectly made everyday. The rooms and villa overall is spotless from the time you walk in until the time you leave. At times you wonder how do they even sweep in and clean up behind you without you noticing.
The location is secluded and private on a hilltop overlooking the sea with breathtaking sunsets every night.
The sea below is filled with beautiful corals and stunning fish which are easily accessed through a short walk down the cliff stairs into crystal clear waters just over a meter deep at the base of the stairs. This makes it easy and safe for both the swimmers and non swimmers to feel comfortable in their adventures.
Dean was more than accommodating to ensure any types of food, drinks or snacks we wanted were in stock on our arrival and May and her team made sure they did not run out during our stay.
The internet service was excellent for such a remote area as our team was able to not miss a beat on any work items that came up during our stay.
Transportation was arranged for us to and from the airport and each day out to our adventures. The drivers were courteous and patient and kept everyone comfortable and safe.
I could go on and on how terrific this villa is and how perfect it is for a family get together, wedding, company retreat or just a weekend getaway with good friends.
Why book at a five star resort and need multiple rooms when you can book this heavenly villa for a fraction of the price?
You work hard and you and your family deserve a stay at the Pure Shores Villa.
Pure Bliss, Pure Pleasure and Pure Relaxation.

Amazing view, superb snorkeling

This is my third time to stay here. The view of the ocean and the hills in the distance is amazing and is something I never get tired of. The view is extra special at sunset, which you can enjoy from the infinity pool, or from a lounge chair with a cold drink in hand.

Literally at your doorstep is a marine sanctuary teeming with fish and coral of all sizes and colors. Lots of clown fish around for all Nemo fans! The villa provides life vests, fins, and snorkels so you don’t have to bring your own.

I recommend the crunchy fish tacos from their menu. I saw the kitchen staff making tortillas from scratch and that really impressed me.

All in all, I had a great holiday and I can’t wait to go back.

A dream getaway
I stayed in Pureshores for four nights and I think it was a good length to fully enjoy most of what the place could offer (wish I could have stayed for more than a week though!).

I was with my family and can 100% recommend choosing a villa if you’re a bigger group and want to spend private quality time with your loved ones; it’s like having a 5-star place all to yourself complete with staff and amenities like a pool, jacuzzi, chill out rooms, and a place to feast with the larger group. Although the property isn’t beachfront, it sits on top of a cliff so you get a view of a perfect sunset and there’s a private stairway to a marine sanctuary you can go snorkel in! I found that amazing because most places in the Philippines you have to take a boat to an island to get that but all the beauty of the ocean was right on our doorstep!

We were also connected to a yoga instructor who held a sunset yoga session in Pureshores private yoga pavillion. This was after really good massages so it was an absolute treat to my tired muscles. Ended my stay with a manicure (they’re really connected with a full suite of pampering) to complement my new tan.

Food recommendations: If you stay here, I recommend trying their banana foster (absolutely best I’ve ever tasted), grilled porkchop and lyonnaise potatoes, and fish tinola. Don’t forget to do a boodle fight!!Lastly for those who are working remotely, the net is actually fine and allowed me to take zoom calls for work between snorkeling breaks! Staying here was a dream thanks Dean and Marcelle! Definitely coming back!!

Superb Villa

Outstanding and beautifully appointed 5 bedroom property with stunning views and sunset across the Bohol Sea. Excellent food, friendly and attentive staff. If you are looking for a place to relax or arrange a gathering for 4 or 5 couples/families look no further than Pure Shores Villa.

Pure bliss.

The wife was looking for a private villa or resort that would be big enough to fit family members as she planned to celebrate her birthday and get together with the family after a long time in lockdown. We were reminded of Pure Shores which we stumbled upon some time back thought it was too big for our own family of 4.
She immediately rang up the place and was accommodated warmly by Dean (the owner) who was very helpful and accommodating from the get go. We were traveling with a big group so we had quite complex requirements and Dean was very patient during the planning stage making sure our requests within reason were accommodated. Closer to the date he handed us over to May, the villa manager to go through the details and arrange transfers, room assignments and even food arrangements in advance. The planning went really smooth.
When we got there, we were just blown away by the place, a spacious, beautifully appointed 5-bedroom private luxury villa. The villa provided breathtaking views of the sea and showed us the best sunsets Bohol could offer.
Service was impeccable. May and her team ran the place very professionally… and were always warm and friendly, they knew all of our names by Day1. No request was too small nor too big… they took very good care of us while we were there.
All in all, the best vacation and best birthday celebration the wife could have in Bohol.

Here is very right place to feel happiness with your family!

세계 많은 나라를 가족과 함께 여행해 봤지만, 이 곳처럼 안락하고 편안한 곳은 없었습니다. 이번이 2번째 방문으로, 첫 방문은 노인분들과 함께 였고, 이번 방문은 어린 아이들 4명과 함께 였습니다. 외부 활동이 어려운 노인분들에게도 쉬기 좋은 곳이지만, 하루 종일 수영장과 바다에서 노는 아이들에게도 이곳은 최고의 장소였습니다. 숙박 기간 중 5살 아이가 좀 아팠는데, 모든 스텝들이 너무도 다정하고 친절하게 살펴주어서 아이는 별탈없이 금방 컨디션을 회복하였습니다. 호텔 중심의 여행을 즐기던 아기 엄마는 너무 안도하고 기뻐하며 가족과 함께 다시 오고 싶다고 손을 모았습니다. 5일 내내 숙소 세프의 음식을 즐겼는데, 외부의 어떤 고급 식당 음식보다도 맛있고 합리적인 가격입니다. 여행오기 전 기대하는 것보다 숙소가 좋기란 쉽지 않은데, 바로 여기가 그런 곳입니다.

Perfect wedding venue and get away vacation with gorgeous sunset view

The last-minute change of wedding venue because of the Taal volcano eruption. Property owner Dean is very accommodating and resourceful. Not only he helped me to go through every item I need to consider for the wedding, but also he helped me to find the perfect wedding planner Joyce who planed the wedding within two weeks. Arriving on a sunny afternoon, when the gate opened, we were amazed by the gorgeous view extended all the way to the end of the sky, and all the anxieties were just gone. The architecture design and the decoration are very elegant with a taste of Southeast Asian, making it picture-perfect from every angle. The wedding day was perfect and even better than we expected. The staff are very helpful and making our stay very comfortable. They also managed to coordinate with all the vendors of the wedding seamlessly. Lots of complement for the property and the people. I just want to thank you for making my big day perfect and memorable. Definitely recommended for anyone who is planning an event, and definitely recommended for a relaxing getaway holiday with friends and family.

Practically perfect in every way

I have traveled extensively in my life and never have I ever had such service!! Five star simply seems inadequate for this place. Dean and the staff here are the best of the best. They answered every question promptly through email and What’s AP. Dean checked in during out stay to make sure our expectations were met. The staff exceeded any expectations we may have had. In all of our travels this was THE BEST family vacation we have taken. I would highly recommend Pure Shores Villa! You will NOT be disappointed!! The villa itself is beautifully appointed. The outside area has everything you can imagine or need. There is grass for playing games, a beautiful infinity pool, gazebos and the beautiful sea is just steps away. The food we had that was prepared right their by their very own chef was delicious! This is a MUST do for any bucket list. What are you waiting for?!!!!

ボホール島といったら青く透明な海！ピュアショアヴィラは海を見渡せる景色が美しい、素晴らしいヴィラでした。 部屋数が5部屋あるので、友達や家族と滞在してゆったりした時間を過ごすのにパーフェクトです。 インフィニティプールやオープンプランのリビングエリア、ヴィラの階段につながるプライベートなシュノーケリングポイントなど、施設も立地もパーフェクトでした。 ヨーロッパ人オーナーの指導で、レストランの食事は美味しい！自家製パン、完全オーガニックのハチミツ、自家製ヨーグルトなどの他、レストランのメニューは充実しています。事前にお願いすれば地元のシーフードも手配してくれるそうなので、次回は地元の新鮮なウニを使ったパスタなど頂きたいですねー。

ゆっくり、気ままに過ごしたい方には本当にお勧めです。 Thanks Dean and Marcelle, May the villa manager, and the rest of the team for the amazing experience! Looking forward to visiting you again!

Fantastic luxury villa

An amazing high end villa situated on the beautiful island of Bohol. 5 star accommodation and service. The owners have clearly put a lot of care and attention into designing this tropical paradise getaway. Throughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful location. The villa staff were very friendly and accommodating. Excellent service and great food menu. Really enjoyed soaking up the sun and the stunning view from the cliff edge infinity pool overlooking the sea. Enjoyed a day trip to the famous Chocolate Hills and ATV driving. Make sure to get up early and enjoy snorkeling in the calm clear blue sea. A memorable place to relax and spend time with friends and family.

Pure Shores Villa is the best! The rooms are big, beautifully furnished and clean every day. The stuff was so nice, they were there for me and my friends all the time, ready to serve, we felt soooo nice. Even if it rained 3 days, May helped us not to get bored and gave us anything we asked for, she also helped us with different trips and even arranged for us to get massage at the villa.The pool was great and the villa has the best surroundings view I ever saw. If I ever have the chance to go back to Philippines, for sure I’ll stay here again.

Tropical Paradise

The best way to describe this villa is its like a balinese resort villa without the crowds and hype. Truly a gem of a find when you get there. The service was excellent with the resort manager May taking care of every of your request. We managed to book our island tour including transport through her. She even recommended the itinerary of what to see on which date to best accommodate your time spent on travelling. The villa also has direct access to the sea where you can snorkel freely( there are not many other people in this part of the bay), hence you don’t have to worry about a boat hitting you.

The very epitome of “Paradise”

What you see is EXACTLY what you get, but SO much more. On the surface, this place has it all. Amazing views, Infinity Pool, Rooms & Furnishings, great food/drinks, and a super friendly always on-site staff. But underneath it all, is an Amazing Manger and staff, attentive Owner, and an attention to detail that goes beyond what most people would notice. From the materials chosen all around the house, paintings, structural choices, the fresh daily flowers, the hidden bedroom, the landscape/flowers all around the house, the in-house services available, the access to the ocean, and really a Manager and staff that will do, or find a way to do, anything you can ever ask for. From massages/mani/pedis on site, transportation, and suggestions in planning your day with activities. We had a combination of 14 people (teens and up – had to pay extra fees) and we fit very comfortably. The staff/management helped plan a Birthday Piyesta that was unforgettable (LECHON BOHOL!). Oh, and if nothing else, the sunsets are some of the BEST i’ve ever seen. My entirely Family still can’t get over how amazing PSV was and will continue to share and tell everyone about our experience. Till next time, PSV, which is hopefully very soon! The ONE suggestion I have is to build an expansion so we can bring 20+ or even 30 people next time and do a big reuion! haha. Many many many thanks to Dean and May for an unforgettable and life-changing experience.

Everything was perfect! Absolutely fantastic!

We rent the Pure Shores Villa for one week for our wedding in February. A charming villa with a balinese style in the paradise! (perfect for the pictures!) All the rooms are big, comfortable and decorated with style. The garden is big, surrendered by the jungle in one side and the sea from the other on a cliff overlooking a marine sanctuary, perfect to watch amazing sunset from the jacuzzi or infinity swimming pool ! We had our wedding reception there and everything was perfect. Big shout out to the owner Dean but also May the villa manager who help us in many ways to make our day perfect, magical, romantic and amazing!

If you are looking for a family reunion, friend gathering or a wedding do not hesitate to contact Pure Shores Villa, you will not regret it! Hopefully we will be able to come back to this paradise soon! Celine and Mathieu

Pure Shores Villa is the best! The rooms are big, beautifully furnished and clean every day. The stuff was so nice, they were there for me and my friends all the time, ready to serve, we felt soooo nice. Even if it rained 3 days, May helped us not to get bored and gave us anything we asked for, she also helped us with different trips and even arranged for us to get massage at the villa.The pool was great and the villa has the best surroundings view I ever saw. If I ever have the chance to go back to Philippines, for sure I’ll stay here again.

The menu is ever changing. The mango foster is amazing. There are many options for breakfast and they all pack a punch. My personal recommendations are the finn’s surprise and the granola and yogurt set.

The food menu has both local and international fare. I enjoyed everything I tried – especially the honeyglazed grilled pork chop. But if there’s something not in the menu, the chef is more than willing to accommodate your requests.

The property is not in front of a white sandy beach. It is above a cliff but there is a stair case that can give you access to the marine sanctuary where you can go snorkelling. I much prefer this kind of holiday property because it means sand doesn’t get everywhere especially the bed sheets.

All the staff are at your back and call. They’re basically there to make sure it is a pleasant and luxurious stay.

It’s like owning your own piece of paradise for the entire length of your stay – especially when privacy is important to you.

I had the pleasure of spending my birthday by coming back to this villa for the second time. My experience was even better this time.

Service was excellent with the staff very friendly and hospitable. There were more delicious additions to the menu. We even got the chance to go for an open snorkel swim with their guide who was able to show us some real giant clams. The kids were very comfortable too swimming and just playing at the cabana. It’s a perfect holiday villa for those wanting to have a good time with friends or looking to spend some awesome family time.

Highly recommended and will definitely come back again!

The villa is beautifully furnished. I especially loved the bathrooms which are very spacious and luxurious. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The view from the villa is outstanding – sea, sky, and mountains in the distance. We were lucky enough to get a rainbow in view on one morning as well. Absolutely beautiful!

We were lucky to spend 5 days at the fabulous Pure Shores Villa, which was a perfect and luxurious ending of our trip to the Philippines. This spacious, private villa has all the amenities you could dream of: a beautiful living/dining room, 5 bedrooms, with unique designs, each of them with en suite bathrooms, a private garden with an amazing infinity pool overlooking the marine sanctuary and in-house staff with excellent service. The location is a perfect hide-away ! Just in front of the villa there is a beautiful marine sanctuary for snorkelling or diving and the cliff top view offers amazing sunsets. There are many activities to be found nearby and the staff is very helpful if you are interested to travel around the island. Pure Shores Villa also provided spa treatments, we could not have asked for a more relaxed and pampered stay ! Thank you for an amazing experience, we hope we will get the opportunity to visit again !

Just spent 3 nights at the fabulous Pure Shores Villa on the island of Bohol. Ultimate luxury and relaxation from the beginning to the end of our stay. The privacy of a villa supported by attentive staff who’s ultimate aim is to ensure all your holiday needs are met. Excellent local knowledge of trips and places to visit. We went snorkelling in the sea literally at the bottom of the garden – equipment provided at the villa. Relaxing by the infinity pool at night and watching the beautiful sunset is a must. The staff prepare delicious fresh food daily which you choose from a wide selection on the menu. Travelling as a big group there was plenty of space for everyone. Large bedrooms all with ensuite a sitting area and games room within the villa. We stayed in the garden room outside of the villa next to the pool with its own private balcony with a view looking out over the clear blue sea and woke up to this wonderful view every morning adding to the feeling of tranquillity and luxury. Can’t wait to go back again one day.

A blissful hideaway from the world.
No one and nothing else in the world exists when you stay at Pure Shores Villa. It’s like pressing pause and just taking time out to enjoy your own slice of peace and relaxation with no outside influences. You can escape to local attractions if you wish, but why would you when you have everything you’d ever want for a relaxing holiday right there. They even organised therapists to come in to the villa and we all choose from a list of relaxing, well priced therapies. The staff are attentive and accommodating but not intrusive, the food is delicious and plentiful and the cocktails are great. The snorkelling is amazing and it’s right in the back door step. The rooms are large and well equipped. There is plenty of space to escape. The pool is perched on the edge overlooking the sea, watching the sunsets from the pool is a must. And the outside space is perfect for chilling out after dinner. We stayed as a family of 11 and everyone had a great time and great things to say about it. Well done to everyone at Pure Shores

Awesome luxury villa refurbished to a very high standard. Staff were very friendly and attentive to every need. Great selection of seafood, western and Filipino food at very reasonable prices. Whether you just want to relax by the pool, go snorkelling in the private access to the sea or go out and explore all is easily possible. Bohol’s signature sites – the white beaches, chocolate hills and tarsiers all within a short trip. Definitely a must visit place!

Charming and attentive but never intrusive staff made us feel right at home in this little corner of paradise.

Excellent choice of international and local food each day. Given the location there is a great array of delicious fresh seafood available. My favourite was the boneless bangus (deboned milkfish which has been marinated in vinegar and served with steamed rice and a fried egg) delicious!

The view over the bay in the morning and throughout the day is delightful but in the evening you are afforded amazing sunsets, which you can take in at the poolside with a drink in your hand, or even in the pool itself. If you stick around then you can spend the evening stargazing with Venus and Mars both clearly visible in the clear night skies.

Plenty to do on Bohol but would also have been happy just lounging around being waited on hand and foot at this beautiful villa.

When it’s my second time to visit a place, my expectations are always higher. Did they maintain the place? Is there something new on the menu? What else can I do?

Pure Shores apparently is a place you would want to visit over and over again. The garden was in bloom, the rooms are still in excellent condition and the chef has new dishes on the menu. I used the sanctuary room this time with my husband and we enjoyed the “isolated but not really” feel of the room. We had the fastest access to the pool and the cabana, a quicker way to the marine sanctuary and a balcony that offered tranquil view of the water in the morning and fireflies dancing in the evening. Yes fireflies! The owners suggested that we do the fireflies tour since I got excited seeing them near my room.

The fireflies tour was a good experience but could have been better. It rained in the afternoon and despite seeing hundreds on a few tress, the guide said it was a small number since most must have been hiding under the leaves taking shelter from the rain. This could be a reason to go back in the summer: To see the insect’s world’s gift of light.

The better part of this vacation is I was able to go snorkeling at the marine sanctuary with my husband and I finally saw the giant clams. The water is a living protected sanctuary filled with different kinds of fish, rocks and sea plants and the beautiful blue starfishes. The best part is Pure Shores has its own access to the sanctuary with a lifeguard.

We also had fun stargazing with a new app showing us constellations. It was a cool night in the garden, one of the best places to see stars. No city lights dimming their lights and the pool chairs providing the best seats.

The food was still great and the Chef still did a great job whipping up dishes we requested off menu.

I highly recommend this place as you can pretend for a while that you have your own rest house with a great staff and the girl who does nails and give massages still provide the perfect pampering at the end of the day

Exclusivity is taken to a new level at Pure Shores Villa. You get to have the whole place all to yourselves. Fusion of Asian- Filipino architecture. Top-notch amenities and facilities. Soft pillows & the softest bed that takes you instantly to snoozeland. Accommodating yet non- intrusive staff. Yes, we are definitely coming back!

This property surpassed all my expectations and is beyond amazing.

I recently stayed at Pure Shores Villa with 10 friends. We had an amazing two days/nights. Even on our third day in Bohol, staff and owner assisted us with our day adventure to chocolate hills prior to our move to our second hotel. I found this gem last minute due to the closure of Boracay, but we are beyond pleased with our stay. Our group decided to stay and enjoy the villa for the 2days/nights there.

The food was perfect, especially the Boodle Fight we requested. Staff are extremely kind and helpful. The owner Dean even spoke to me on the phone prior to our arrival to get a better understanding of who we are and what our end goals are for our stay at the villa. The home is modern with an islander twist and the rooms are large with very comfortable beds. It is an extremely beautiful sight to see whether day or night, but most especially at night when all the lights are on.

We had massages each day and night outside, and we swam in the infinity pool and private marine sanctuary all day. Who knew how enjoyable 2 days of isolation would be. I highly recommend this place. I will surely come back in the future! Thank you for having us. It was quite memorable.

This villa is nothing less than an amazing experience that anybody in Bohol (or planning a trip in Bohol) must stay at. It is away from the Panglao island at Anda, but it is also exclusive and gives you once a lifetime experience at relaxation. It includes an exclusive snorkeling spot stairs down from the villa. The rooms are very spacious and modern. The outdoor patio comes with an infinity view of the ocean along with the infinity pool right next to it for the best sunset spot in town. The staffs at the villa are super attentive and would coordinate for whatever asked from the guests – one of the kingly / queenly treatment and highlight of our trip. The host has also been very accommodating and fast at responding any questions – Dean is the man! I would highly recommend anyone at Bohol to check out this villa for their next vacation destination.

If you are considering a vacation at Pure Shores villa I can assure you you will not be disappointed. From the very beginning communication with the owner, Dean, was thorough with quick replies. Our vacation was last minute due to a previous cancellation and Dean went above and beyond to reassure us and accommodate our large group of 8 adult and 8 kids (including 2 babies).

The villa is exquisite to say the least. You will make it feel like home very quickly and will not want to leave. Pictures on the website do not do the villa justice, it is the most perfect haven to escape to and relax in. What isn’t pictured is the amazing team of staff at Pure Shores, they have made our vacation here perfection. May, the manager has gone above and beyond to accommodate our requests, organized a videoke, sourcing a turkey at Christmas, Lechon for New Years dinner, trips and tours, diving, rides on local transport, she is awesome! The chef, Mel, provides the most delicious food both western and Filipino and he is always happy to recommend local dishes! Between the serving staff, pool staff, house keeping and security guards they have become part of our family, laughed with us, talked to us about local life, played with our children and are the nicest people you will meet.

There is access to the sanctuary via private steps which provides the perfect snorkeling opportunity if you get bored with the infinity pool! Make sure Paul shows you the beautiful large clams when you go.

Truly a gem in Bohol for the ultimate RnR, even better if you come with friends. We will be back again
