The Great Summer Escape 5:

SIRAAN HOT SPRING
Anini-y, Antique

The serene ambiance of Siraan Hot Spring, one of Panay’s spectacles, is the reason why albeit the abundance of shopping malls and themed parks in cities, people come and spend more of their time in this resort located at Anini-y, Antique.

The road to Siraan is quite bumpy and you will get to travel on fragmented and dusty roads, making the travel time a little bit longer. But the hard time on the path is fittingly compensated by the spectacular sights of rock formations and the long stretch of a black sand beach along the way. Not to mention, you will also be mesmerized with unique-looking landforms at the other side of the road.

The exhaustion will prepare your body for a grand surprise once you already reached the hot spring. The warm water rising from the bottom of the spring is a perfect treat for you and your family. Plus, you will take more pleasure from the picturesque view of volcanic stone formations and the cobalt blue waters of the big sea behind you.
