# Brad Pitt Style by the Beach – Ananyana Boutique Hotel, Philippines

> Ananyana Boutique Hotel on Panglao Island, Philippines, offers a relaxed, stylish beachside escape with open-air lounge, acclaimed dining, and a standout owner's suite rumored to share its rattan canopy bed design with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

## Destination
Panglao Island, south-west of Bohol, Philippines, accessible via a bridge from Bohol; the hotel is on the quieter Anda stretch of coast.

## Getting there
Staff pick guests up from Tagbilaran Airport for an approximately 20-minute drive to the hotel.

## Why visit
A tranquil alternative to busy Alona Beach, Ananyana combines boutique design, attentive service, and direct beach access in a setting that deliberately encourages guests to disconnect — rooms have no TVs.

## What to see
- **Chocolate Hills** — One of Bohol's main attractions and a key draw to the wider island.
- **Alona Beach** — Panglao's bar and party district for those seeking nightlife.
- **Anda coastline** — South-east Panglao; noted for its white beaches and good diving.

## What to do
- **Dining at the hotel restaurant** — Chef Richard's menu highlights include prawn main course, tuna tartare, and flambéed desserts.
- **Spa treatment** — Asian-themed spa with strong colors and authentic decor.
- **Diving** — Good dive sites available around the Anda area of Panglao.

## Good to know
The owner's suite features an open-plan layout divided by curtains, a large rattan canopy bed, and a spacious outdoor-style shower and bathtub — the standout accommodation option at the property.
