Magic Island is a true gem for divers seeking an adventure with a personal touch. The warm and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home while enjoying delicious meals and easy access to stunning diving sites. While the journey to the resort might feel like an expedition, the phenomenal diving and friendly service make it all worthwhile. However, being a smaller resort means there are fewer options for non-diving activities compared to larger resorts.

Magic Island is truly a hidden gem! I loved the relaxed atmosphere and the exceptional service made my stay unforgettable. The diving and snorkeling opportunities were incredible, especially with the beautiful house reef. The only downside was that the rooms didn't have a TV, but honestly, we never missed it. The sense of community during dinner made us feel right at home. I can’t wait to return and dive deeper into the wonders of Moalboal.
