Pearl Farm Resort

The 11-hectare Pearl Farm Resort was once, literally, a pearl farm, where thousands of white-lipped oysters, transported from the Sulu Sea, were cultivated for their pink, white, and gold pearls.

The resort lies in a secluded island off the coast of Davao City. It boasts Samal Houses patterned after the stilt houses of seafaring Samal tribes of the Sulu archipelago, with schools of tiny fish frolicking between the sturdy poles that support the houses.

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.

Guest facilities include airport and boat transfers, baby sitting, hairdryers, medical service, safe deposit boxes, postage, massage, manicure, room service, cable TV, email access, telephone and telefax.

Ample opportunities are available for delightful open-air dining on South-East Asian and Western cuisine at the Maranao restaurant, and guests can also enjoy serene evenings with cocktails at the Parola Bar.

Extensive water sports include windsurfing, speed-boating, scuba diving, water-skiing, hobbiecat sailing, water-cycling and rowing, as well as organised island-hopping tours.

Alternatively you can sunbathe at two outdoor swimming pools, relax in the Jacuzzi, on the two tennis courts or in the fully equipped games room. (wowphilippines)
