Michael's Native Homestay

Michael's Native Homestay Tropical garden vibes, local hospitality, and rooms to rent – whether for a short escape or a longer stay on beautiful Bantayan Island.

Hello, I’m Michael! 🌴
I’ve been living on Bantayan Island for over a decade, and together with my Filipina wife, we run Michael’s Native Homestay – a cozy tropical retreat with bamboo cottages set in a lush garden full of banana trees, coconut palms, colorful flowers, and medicinal herbs. Here, guests enjoy peace, privacy, and a real island experience – away from crowded resorts and busy streets.

You can cook your own meals in the outdoor kitchens or taste fresh local dishes prepared by our family. We’re happy to help you explore Bantayan – scooters, transport, island hopping, snorkeling, fishing, and hidden spots off the beaten path. Whether it’s a short getaway or a longer stay, our place is perfect for travelers who love nature, calm, and authentic island life. Welcome to your tropical home on Bantayan Island! 🌺

Tropical Agritourism on Bantayan Island – Philippines

Hello everyone!
This album features photos of our rooms available for rent. Around the cottages, there is a large tropical garden with banana trees, coconut palms, colorful flowers, and medicinal herbs.

You’ll also find a few pictures of the dishes we serve to our guests, as well as some postcards from the local beaches.

Our homestay is perfect for travelers who are tired of typical, mass tourism. If you want to experience the Philippines from the inside, feel the vibe of a local village, and relax away from the daily hustle of European life, this is the place for you.

It’s also an ideal spot for those on fasting or health-focused diets. We have fresh coconuts and a variety of local medicinal herbs available.

We can organize trips on local boats, fishing with local fishermen, and meetings with shamans.

Bantayan Island is famous for its stunning white-sand beaches with very few tourists.

All our guests are treated individually and welcomed as if they were part of our family — everyone feels at home here. We’ve been renting rooms for 15 years and have been on Airbnb for 9 years, proudly holding the Superhost status throughout this time.

You can book directly via our page, WhatsApp, email, or through Airbnb:

Warm regards,
Michael

Hi Everybody 🙂
I haven't posted anything lately because we've been super busy with our guests. Lots of people came down. My close friend Mariusz Guman and his family spent the whole month with us and during this time we collected a lot of material. With his permission, I will be posting various photos, etc., on an ongoing basis.
Today, 4 panoramas of our Bantayan island and the neighboring Virgin Island.
Greetings

The famous dinners for our guests have finally started. Yesterday we had to add an extra table because there were not enough space.
I would also like to share with you that we already have a fast and stable internet. So Digital Nomads can work peacefully while staying with us.
You can send inquiries about the offer and availability of places via Messenger, WhatsApp number or via our AIRBNB profile at this link: https://www.airbnb.pl/users/show/62327337
PS: Bonus photos of Goat and Rooster on the beach today 🙂 Sorry for the low quality of photos 😉
