Meet Your Hosts
Sandra & Harm
Welcome to Our Slice of Paradise
Villa Silana is lovingly owned and hosted by Sandra and Harm (and our family!). We fell in love with the charm and beauty of Moalboal and decided to build our dream villa here, to share this piece of paradise with travelers from all over the world.
Sandra is a Cebuana with a lifelong passion for hospitality and creating memorable experiences, while Harm is originally from the Netherlands, bringing a touch of European design sense to our tropical haven. We speak English, Filipino, and Dutch, allowing us to welcome guests from around the globe with ease.
The Villa Silana Story
We proudly opened Villa Silana at the end of 2024 after meticulously designing and constructing it from the ground up. The name 'Silana' combines elements from our family names and signifies serenity and light - exactly the experience we wanted to create for our guests.
Our vision was to create a haven that combines the luxury and amenities of a high-end resort with the absolute privacy and comfort of a private home. Every detail, from the reliable Starlink internet for our digitally nomadic guests to the starlit outdoor jacuzzi, was chosen to provide an unforgettable and seamless experience.
Our Host Philosophy
As your hosts, our greatest joy is going above and beyond for our guests. Whether it's personally welcoming you after a delayed flight, helping arrange a surprise birthday celebration, or simply sharing our favorite local spots, we genuinely thrive on making your stay exceptional.
The glowing reviews and the wonderful connections we've made with guests are the most rewarding aspects of this journey for us. Our Villa Manager, Don, shares this passion and is an invaluable part of our team, always ready to assist.
Personal Touches
We love sharing our insider tips – from discovering the tastiest 'halo-halo' to finding secret snorkeling spots or the best lechon. Don't hesitate to ask us anything; we're here to help you experience Moalboal like a local!
When you book with us, you're not just getting a beautiful villa – you're gaining access to our wealth of local knowledge and connections to make your Cebu adventure truly special. We've explored every corner of Moalboal and love to share our discoveries.
