When we hear Mindanao in our peers’ mouths, we usually incorporate Mt. Apo, Dakak, Camiguin Island and Maria Cristina Falls as the crucial adventure stops in order to have a sultry summer spree down south. But think again, Mindanao is a vast island of stunning beauty, so you cannot say that by just going to these four places alone, your summer will be memorable. As the magnificent isles galore in the naked eye, the getaway rush is endless for people looking for radical exhilaration. Speaking of isles, there is a place where you can get the endless rush of thrill and relaxation–the Pearl Farm Beach Resort.

Situated at the Island garden city of Samal, this 14-hectare beauty was once a pearl farm, where thousands of whitelipped oysters transported from the Sulu Sea, were cultivated for their pink, white and gold pearls. Transformed into a resort years after, a relaxing, private retreat is now a hot actuality.
