Excited to be with nature again?
Now that the travel restrictions are slowly being relaxed, people, who were locked down in their homes for months, can’t wait to stretch their legs, spend time outdoors, and see something other than a screen.
For some, a dip in the pool is blissful but for others nothing can replace the smell of the sea and the tropical paradise feel that await at Pearl Farm Beach Resort.
What makes Pearl Farm such an irresistible allure is the 5-star experience it gives to the guests, breathtaking scenery, unlimited vista of the Davao Gulf, the iconic parola and it is a family-friendly resort making it the perfect choice for a family-oriented staycation.
“One of the biggest advantage with Pearl Farm is, it is outdoor and there is nothing safer in this kind of set up. You just open a door and you are in a room and open a sliding door and you are outside already. Refreshing natural ventilation. The risk is minimal when you are with nature,” said Josu Mikel Villaverde, vice president and general manager of Pearl Farm.
