Set on the quiet side of Samal Island 45 minutes away from Metropolitan Davao by boat, the resort was once a pearl farm where thousands of white-lipped oysters transported from the Sulu Sea, were cultivated for their pink, white and gold pearls. Located in a secluded cove on exotic Samal Island off Davao City, in the Southern Philippines, this world class beach resort is set among swaying coconut palms and fringed by a glittering white sand beach. All 73 Deluxe rooms, suites and cottages are set on stilts above the tropical blue water or perched on a hillside over looking the sea. The resort is even able to offer even more luxurious villas in the utmost privacy, which are located on the nearby exclusive island of Malipano.
