Known worldwide for its irresistibly sweet mangoes, Guimaras is a small but stunning island province in Western Visayas that boasts crystal-clear beaches, scenic countryside views, and a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere. Just a short boat ride from Iloilo City, this island paradise is perfect for those who want to experience unspoiled beauty, fresh seafood, and warm local hospitality — all in one tropical escape.
The Province of Guimaras will definitely be brought up on the topic when we talk about mangoes because they are said to have the “Sweetest Mango in the Philippines.” With that, their local delicacies, with mango, are just mouth-watering. Aside from that, the residents must be proud of their breathtaking and stunning tourist destinations, such as beaches, historical sites, and other activities. They also have the Manggahan Festival, an annual festivity to thank them for their bountiful mango harvest. It is a small island province that can be visited for the whole day, but it can offer a lot to visitors.
Set against the rolling hills and coastal landscapes of San Lorenzo, the Guimaras Windmills, also known as the San Lorenzo Wind Farm, have become an iconic attraction on the island. These towering turbines not only provide clean energy but also add a dramatic backdrop to Guimaras’ natural beauty. With rows of windmills stretching across the horizon, the site offers a unique mix of sustainability, modern engineering, and breathtaking scenery that draws both tourists and photographers.
