Secluded in the azure bay of Sitio Dalaruan in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, this undeniably plush resort is an impeccable respite from the nerve-racking lifestyle of city dwellers. Twelve appointed villas with seductive sea views, luscious cuisine, and a chance to spa, dive or simply relax by the gorgeous infinity pool will surely revitalize honeymooners. Indulge on a soothing Swedish massage, aromatherapy or a traditional hilot massage to relieve bodily discomfort and imbalance. The Coral Gardens which is a perfect spot for snorkeling is just within reach and so are blissful beaches. The Garden Villa at Buri Resort and Spa weekday (Sunday – Thursday) rate during lean season can go as low as Php 2,500 + to Php 7,500 + during peak season.  But if you fancy more space and your own pool, book a pool or family villa.

Nature’s Eye Beach Resort (Guimaras)

Native cottages start at Php 1,500 (good for two).
