The Philippines is a country blessed with so much natural resources be it on water or land. Wherever you choose to go on a vacation, you surely won’t run out of places to go in Luzon, Visayas, or Mindanao. Mindanao, most especially, is a treasure that is not fully explored yet by many. Unlike the well known Boracay, Palawan, or other beaches in the Visayas, there are a lot of wonders here in Mindanao that are left to be discovered and experienced. Not many know about it yet because most of the time there’s a negative connotation to the word Mindanao, but actually, Mindanao is a friendly and culturally rich place that boasts a lot of wonderful beaches and other tourist attractions. Today, we’ve listed down a few that you might want to check out on your next trip here.
Samal Island - this is the most accessible Davao beach resort. It’s literally just 15 minutes away and that trip will even be cut shorter once the bridge is done. There are a lot of private properties here just waiting to be fully developed. The best part about Samal is Talicod and Kaputian, where you’ll find the rich marine biodiversity of the place and the crystal clear waters you can easily see the bottom of the ocean!
Dahican - who doesn’t know Dahican? Aside from Samal, people from Davao would usually flock to MATI for a quick weekend beach trip, especially during holidays. It’s just a 3-hour drive from Davao which makes it another ideal destination. The vibe here is perfect for surfers and groups of friends who just want to hang out by the beach over good music and beer.
Siargao - the famous Siargao, always so full of foreigners who just want the tropical island living experience. The vibe here is also nice because it’s more laidback that’s why most foreign tourists who flock here stay more than a month just partying and surfing and enjoying the Philippine island vibe!
Governor Generoso - one of the most underrated but definitely budding resorts are in Governor Generoso. Davao’s new beach destination is called Camp Bernardino de Lavigan which is a unique blend of luxury, cultural immersion, relaxation, and education. If you’re someone who wants to just chill and take things slow, and appreciate the finer things in life, then this beach is for you. This is the place to go for a full off-the-grid escape, and definitely one of the best resorts in the Philippines because it’s not yet spoiled and tainted.
There are still a lot of undiscovered wonders in Mindanao. For now, you might wanna check out Camp Bernardino, as part of the newest attractions of the region. Check out their website now campbernardino.com
