How to Get There
From Cebu City, it takes about one hour and 21 minutes to reach Carmen, Cebu. You can ride by bus or van and stop at Carmen National High School. From there, ask the locals for a habal-habal (motorcycle) ride that will take you to Durano Eco Farm & Spring Resort. Situated in the highlands of Carmen, this hidden gem is not yet widely known among tourists, but it’s a destination I highly recommend. If you have a private car or motorcycle, you can drive directly to the resort without any stops, making the journey smooth and convenient.
A Warm Welcome by Nature
The moment we arrived, I felt an immediate sense of calm. The air was fresher, the colors brighter, and the sound of the spring water was like music to my ears. The first thing I did was walk around, taking in the vibrant greenery that surrounded me. It wasn’t just a resort—it was a sanctuary.
The spring itself was magical. I can’t explain the joy of dipping into its cool, clear water after a long drive. It wasn’t just refreshing; it felt like the water was washing away more than just the heat—it washed away my worries, too.
Where to Stay
Accommodation at Durano Eco Farm & Spring Resort is as comfortable and eco-friendly as the resort’s overall vibe. We stayed in one of their cozy cottages, which provided the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. The rooms are simple yet thoughtfully designed, with eco-conscious amenities that don’t sacrifice comfort. If you love being surrounded by nature, you’ll appreciate how naturally the rooms blend with the environment.
Where to Eat & Drink
Food is a big part of my travel experience, and I was amazed at the farm-to-table dining at Durano Eco Farm. The resort’s restaurant serves dishes made from organic, locally sourced ingredients. My favorite meal? The freshly grilled fish paired with organic vegetables—simple but so flavorful! Whether you’re craving a hearty meal after a day of activities or a light snack, the food here won’t disappoint.

It felt like a sanctuary where time slowed down, and we could enjoy simple pleasures: the presence of family, the beauty of the surroundings, and the refreshing embrace of nature.
The Magic of the Spring Water
The highlight of our visit was the natural springs, which gave us a magical experience. We immersed ourselves in the cool, clear water, and it felt refreshing—almost as if the water was cleansing both our bodies and minds. The calming effect of the spring water gave us all a sense of peace. My family and I spent hours relaxing in the spring, absorbing the beauty of nature.
