PEARL FARM RESORT

The resort lies in a secluded island off the coast of Davao city.

This 11-hectare spread was once a pearl farm, where thousands of white-lipped oysters, transported from Sulu Sea, were cultivated for their pink, white and gold pearls. Today, the resort beckons with the promise of a relaxing private retreat, under the care of friendly and charming staff.

The resort's Samal Houses are patterned after the stilt houses of seafaring Samal tribes of the Sulu archipelago.
By day, schools of tiny fish frolic between the sturdy poles that support the houses. At night, the sound of the waves are a soothing aid to slumber.
