A Slice of Santorini

2012. The first time I saw photos of Marinduque’s Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa on the glossy pages of a travel magazine, I dreamed but never thought of going there so soon! It was a special celebration with close friends, and Bellarocca made it more awesome. We climbed a hill to take a look at a spa on top of it, from where we had this view imitative of Greece’s Santorini.
