One of the small towns of this province captured the heart of a soulful foreign artist and spun the place into a dreamlike work of art. A secluded place no more, New Washington, Aklan can now easily associated with Sampaguita Gardens Resort which denotes Mr. Samuel Butcher (artist/owner) is completely charmed by the place.

Sampaguita Gardens Resort radiates its owner’s soul and encompasses equally surreal masterpieces like the Precious Moments figurines, the chapel and the Christmas cottage which serves as the focal point. Every nook and cranny of the place casts a warmth spell in one’s heart, making one wishes to stay forever. So true to its resort theme, “Everyday is Christmas at Sampaguita Gardens”.

In contrast, a world-class and highly acclaimed summer destination, Boracay Island is just a 1-2 hour drive away from Sampaguita Gardens Resort. The island’s long stretch of sugary white sand, crystal clear waters and scenic views will make one completely enamored with the place.

While a lot of commercial establishments thrive around to serve the growing number of tourists, the grandeur of the island is still as its best. Aside from the typical activities that most of these establishments offers, a quite and leisurely walk is yet another way to take pleasure of the island. It gives you moment to commune with nature and revere this particular masterpiece of God, the supreme artist of all time.

Aklan is situated in Western Visayas (Region VI). Its two airports in Kalibo and Caticlan have regular flights coming from Cebu and Manila.
