Nestled on the quiet side of Samal Island, The Pearl Farm Beach Resort is a mere 45-minute boat ride from the wharf. This 14 hectare spread 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. Today, the resort beckons with the promise of a relaxing, private retreat, under the care of its friendly and charming staff. Deluxe Accommodation with 70 guestrooms, suites, cottages on stilts perched above the sea and exclusive villas are designed from Maranao and Samal ethnic influences in both materials and form. Inside, decorative details and multihued patterns reflect the islands vibrant culture as inspired by the regions rich tribal ancestry. Malipano Island, a secluded island located a few hundred meters off Samal Island, is where 7 exclusive villas of the resort are nestled. It offers three holes of golf and at the west side, the island faces a pristine white sand beach.
