- Nurturing one's physical as well as mental health can be manifested in many ways, one of which is through indulging in scenic, quiet, and relaxing places such as Bintana sa Paraiso.

Nestled in the valley of Mt. Hibok-Hibok, specifically in Binunsaran, Mambajao, Camiguin, Bintana sa Paraiso offers "an exquisite natural setting, luxurious accommodations, unparalleled hospitality, an exemplary dining experience, extensive recreational facilities, and an eco-conscious approach."

Jay-ar Louis Labial II, resort manager, said the place is ideal for travelers who prioritize relaxation, tranquility, connection with nature, and those who often seek a retreat from their busy lives.

"These individuals value privacy and exclusivity. They are seeking a peaceful getaway away from the crowds," he added.
