Pangulasian Island Resort

A statement hotel perched in the heart of Bacuit Bay, Pangulasian Island Resort is a masterpiece of eco-luxe's contemporary Filipino architecture. Known as the 'Island of the Sun,' it boasts a backdrop of two prominent promontories that embrace the resort's pristine beach, creating an intimate setting. Upon arrival, guests are whisked away aboard the Katala, the resort's sleek vessel, encapsulating you with the warmth of Filipino hospitality long before you set foot on the island. The lobby, an airy blend of local materials and curated artworks, invites you to pause and breathe in the vista of cerulean waters. Signature features include the thoughtfully designed villas that float gracefully above the landscape, inviting the soothing rustle of palm fronds and the distant splash of waves. Indulge your senses in the onsite restaurant, where dining extends beyond mere sustenance, offering locally-sourced ingredients crafted into culinary delights; the bar serves refreshing cocktails as you gaze out toward the horizon, mesmerized by the sunsets that unfold like a painter's canvas.
