The 5-star beach resort located at the secluded and exotic island of Samal was once literally a pearl farm, where thousands of white-lipped oysters from the Sulu Sea were cultivated for their pink, white and gold pearls.
The Pearl farm offers its guest with modern amenities and luxurious accommodations with 73 guestrooms and cottages on stilts floating above the sea that were designed with Maranao and Samal ethnic influences.
Of course no beach getaway will be complete without without gorging on good food, and the resort’s Maranao Restaurant offers a commendable array of the freshest and tastiest dishes in their buffet spread. If smorgasbords for you is much of a challenge, you can order ala carte too and their Salmon steak on a bed of risotto is a personal favorite.
For the water sport junkie, there’s a wide array of activities you can choose from: wind-surfing, jet skiing, water skiing, water polo, kayaks, hobie cats, wave runners, banana boat rides and scuba diving. Take your pick or just do ‘em all.
And when you’re all banged-up from all those activities, pamper yourself at the Ylang Ylang Spa and get that much needed body massage amidst the man-made waterfall.
A perspiring glass of cocktail in hand at the pool or the pagoda with the view of the sun setting low on the horizon is just the perfect way to cap the day.
Now I know why these damn celebrities keep on coming back to Pearl Farm.
