Jomabo Island Paradise and Beach Resort is a secluded island resort located off the coast of Escalante City in Negros Occidental, Philippines, offering a quiet, nature-focused escape rather than a glamorous, crowded party destination.

To reach it, travelers take about a 2-hour drive from Bacolod City to Old Escalante, then board a 20-minute motorized pump boat to the island, and the resort also offers van and minicoaster transport by land plus its own pump boat service. The resort features a range of accommodations including cavanas, deluxe air-conditioned rooms, family cottages, duplex units, and camping tents, along with water activities such as ocean kayaking, aqua cycle waterwheels, and banana boat rides.

It is known for its clear blue waters, fine white sand, and tranquil atmosphere, making it ideal for private parties, honeymooners, and travelers seeking privacy and relaxation. While older reviews noted issues with food quality, slow service, and limited amenities, they also highlighted the resort’s natural charm and seclusion, and suggested bringing snacks, drinks with ice, basic first aid supplies, and planning reservations at least a month in advance.
