We are Annabelle & Simon, the owners of Bella's Guest House. And this is our story.

​

We are both from the UK and in 2017 decided to go to the Philippines to visit Annabelle's hometown and relatives.

​

One of the places we visited is Bantayan Island where her grandparents came from. Simon fell in love with the island! With the beautiful white beaches, fresh seafood, and hospitable locals. After our great experience, we decided to leave the UK and move to the island to start our business in 2019.

​

Simon wanted a guest house because his passion was building and designing houses. As the guest house is a new beautiful chapter in our lives, the word Bella came to mind, meaning beautiful. It is also similar to Annabelle's name. We thought it was fate and that's how Bella's Guest House came to life.

​

We want to share the amazing and beautiful experience the island has given us, so don't hesitate to contact us!
