Surrounded by nature, yet embraced by the comforts of our modern facilities and accommodations, you are free to find your own adventure. Time is a luxury you can afford on Dos Palmas. Luxuriate in doing nothing. Or indulge in everything you’ve always wanted to do. We’re always on hand to help make your stay most pleasant and memorable.

The Dos Palmas Green Statement. Dos Palmas Island Resort and Spa takes the environment seriously. In our continuing quest to offer our guests a great island experience, we also fully commit ourselves to live harmoniously with our ecosystem. With this strong commitment comes our resolve to constantly find ecologically safe solutions that may one day set environmental standards for the industry.

Our ongoing green initiatives include an ecologically responsible waste management program and sewage treatment facility, a water-conservation and desalination program, and a toxic-material reduction plan that includes de-chlorination of water supply and the use of biodegradable, plant-based detergents and cleaning agents.

Eco Zone. The eastern part of the island has been designated as the Dos Palmas Eco Zone (DPEZ), where all environmental programs and facilities of the resort are situated.

The resort has a comprehensive waste management facility. We’ve set up our own sewage treatment plant, to ensure that resort operations won’t hurt the environment. Treated water is used for watering the grounds and in our toilets; while the sludge from the treatment plant is used as fertilizer for our organic vegetable and herb gardens, and our plant nurseries and greenhouse.

We embarked on a multi-million-peso rehabilitation of our existing water system. To ensure a steady supply of freshwater, rain collection ponds and a desalination plant are underway to reinforce the resort’s freshwater requirements.

These are just some of our initiatives to help promote ecological awareness and pave the way for the peaceful co-existence of man and nature in this last frontier. A part of your package fees is always channeled back to the environment, so you, as our honored guests, can enjoy your stay in good conscience.

Accomodation

Bay Cottages & Beach Villas
Let the soft whisper of the waves lull you to sleep in our romantic Bay Cottages. Or wake up to the sounds of birdsong in our spacious Beach Villas.

At Dos Palmas, guests have a choice of luxurious accommodations between the gardens and the deep blue sea. Perched above the pale blue shallows, our Bay Cottages can comfortably sleep up to two adults and one child. Fronting the beach are our Beach Villas, which can accommodate up to three adults. Handicapped-friendly rooms are available upon request.

Each room is air-conditioned, with its own toilet and bath with hot and cold running water, hair dryer, a mini-bar and personal refrigerator, in-room safe, and an intercom-telephone with NDD/IDD access. As an added bonus, all our rooms have private verandahs that afford a view of the magnificent sunsets and morning mists over Honda Bay.

Dining and Food

Gather around the buffet tables for an al fresco family breakfast. Feast on native specialties on a secluded white sand atoll. Dine by candlelight on the beach. Or plan a romantic meal for two on a bamboo raft in the middle of the ocean. Let our restaurant staff stir up your appetite for good food and great fun, with a delectable array of menus set in imaginative locations.

Kara-enan
Named after the native Cuyunon word for “a place to dine”, the Kara-enan Restaurant and Bar is our al fresco dining hall, with a seating capacity of 250. It serves an international buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus an unlimited supply of free coffee, hot tea and filtered water all day. Open from 7am to 11pm.

In line with the shift towards health consciousness, the resort kitchen now sources ingredients for salads, soups and other dishes from its own organic vegetable and herb garden.

Puting Buhangin, a private white-sand atoll, is the venue for our daily island-style picnic lunches. On weekends, dine under the stars on the resort’s white sand beach, while you enjoy a cultural show featuring a repertoire of Filipino native dances. Bands perform on scheduled concert nights..

A Place to Unwind Sit back and relax at the bar, with a nice cold drink in hand and a good game via satellite link TV. Our fully stocked bar offers a wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and snack items.
