MALIPANO ISLAND stands a view
hundred meters off Samal Island
and is the site of the SEVEN
EXCLUSIVE VILLAS.
The island offers three holes
of golf and a west facing white
sand beach. Staggered along
the island's costline, the constellation
of SEVEN HOUSES borrows from
Maranao and Samal ethnic influences
in both materials and forms.
FOUR HOUSES (villas 1-4) squat
on stilts directly over the
water in a nod to traditional
seafarer of Samal. The remaining
THREE HOUSES (villas 5-7) are
located on rocky spot cropping
above the beach. The houses
are composed of three octagonal
structures containing a reception
area and living room, guest
suite and dining room around
a cantilevered deck. The shape
of the roofs is inspired by
the traditional Philippine hat,
the salacot.
The Malipano Gardens also offer
the perfect setting for delightfully
romantic tropical wedding. Our
staff will be pleased to make
arrangements for either a traditional
or tribal wedding ceremony.
On the other end of the Island
is the Malipano Gazebo where
luau dinners are held. Fourteen
sunken tables provide a different
ethnic experience for the guests'
delight.
