“Puting Balas” is a visayan term which means white sand. Located at Kisulad in Sta. Maria, Davao del Sur, the place was named after this because it’s the only white sand shoreline, stretching about 2 kilometers long. The neighboring shorelines have gradients of brown to black sand, which seems, Puting Balas had just been artificially dumped with white sand… But, amazingly, it’s all natural.

Don’t worry about electricity because the resort already have it. They even have air conditioned rooms for rent.
Puting Balas is also called little Boracay because of it’s Bora-like white powdery sand, except, no party places or establishments. If you’re looking for serenity or peace of mind, Puting Balas is just a perfect getaway. Owning the place for a day or more is the right thing to de-stress.
