CALAGUAS Isles is one of the best kept secret beach destinations in the Philippines, located in Camarines Norte, Bicol. "Cal" means lime and "aguas" translates to water in Spanish.

It's now famous for Mahabang Buhangin's 1.27 km powdery white sand on Tinaga Island, the biggest island in Calaguas. Some people describe it as the perfect beach and a throwback to Boracay 25 years ago.

I've been to Calaguas in 2008, when the beach was still wild and undiscovered. Backpackers and beach lovers soon found out about the island and set up tents in campsites along the beach. In 2012, the first Waling-Waling Resort was built and continues to be the only eco-resort on the island.

Here's a photo essay of the Waling-Waling Eco Resort experience...

It's best to go during the off-peak season (October to December) when you can have the entire white beach to yourself.

Mahabang Buhangin is 1.5 hours by boat from Paracale or 2 hours from Vinzons, Camarines Norte.

There's no mobile signal on the island, which adds to its off-the-grid appeal.

Waling-Waling has 14 open-air cabanas with 2 hammocks. There's a common restroom good for 4 persons.

It also has 8 kubols with a spacious 2nd-floor sitting room and can accommodate 6 persons. (Tip: get cabana #1 or #2)

The open-air living room is where you can hang out to eat and drink with your friends.

Most importantly, there is a clean private bathroom with a fresh water source and electricity provided by generator.

(Tip: Make sure to sync your toilet visits with the genset schedule--usually early in the morning and at night only)
