Searching for the best destination spot this summer? Said to have the best of natural wonders, Davao del Norte receives thousands of visitors every year who have come to marvel this slice of paradise. Do you want to know one of the reasons why?

Beautifully nestled in the booming town of Tagum City, Lanikai Beach is a haven for every visitor where one can find a perfect serenity of the sea. Why Lanikai? It is named that way because the word “Lanikai” is a Hawaiian word that means heavenly sea. It is also a beach in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii.

The scenic view of the whole environment – blue skies, green fauna and rolling hills, beaches – is just enough to have an escape from the terrible environ of the city. Tourists will be pleasure in it’s breathtakingly view that will surely leave an impression to every visitor.  Seeing the colors of green and blue – is satisfying that gives enough reason to love the place.

There were lined of Acacia trees that provide a natural shade which is a perfect resting place. All you have to do is enjoy the beauty of the beach in many ways and just relax. Here are some of the suggested activities that you can do while you are in this paradise.

  • Take a forest tour, a river cruise or a banana plantation tour.
  • Going to Lanikai Beach is perfect especially during summer. A refreshing dip is indeed the best thing that you can do.
  • There are available courts where one can play tennis and other recreational sports.
  • The nearby Banana Beach has paddle boards, kayaks, frisbee discs and ATV for rent.  Even horses are for rent for horseback riding on the beach.
  • For the lover of art, Kublai Milan’s works at the Lanikai house might just make a collector of you.
  • If you don’t want any of these, well I advise you to taste their cuisine. If you are together with your dearest one, you can try a romantic candle lit dinner by the beach or at the lanai.

After a long day tour to the beach, Lanikai rooms are inviting and would surely guarantee a good night’s sleep or a relaxing siesta.

How to get there

Major airlines fly daily to Davao City from Manila and Cebu.  Tagum City is an hour away by land from Davao City. Private vehicles can take the Panacan route out of Davao City to Tagum City then turn right for the road leading to the Hijo Plantation in Madaum before reaching the Tagum City proper.
