Davao City Hotels

Welcome to one of the World’s biggest City! Davao City covers about 244,000 hectares of land located in the province of Davao del Sur in Mindanao, Philippines.

If you are looking for a place to unwind, shop for exotic souvenirs and rare orchids, climb the Philippines’ highest peak, or just want to go sight-seeing, then Davao is the perfect place for you.

A perfect sight-seeing trip could start with a visit to the Pearl Farm located in Samal Island off the coast of Davao City. The cottages are built on stilts over the sea that teems with different kinds of fish. The waves provide a sweet lullaby at night to give guests a relaxing and comfortable sleep. The resort used to be a pearl farm where pearls of different colors and sizes were cultured. Now it offers warm accommodation and first class amenities. Serves good food especially fresh seafood fares, and offers a wide variety of activities.

Next stop would be a hiking/camping trip to the Eden Mountain Resort that boasts of a cool climate, lush forest and provides a spectacular view of the city and the gulf. The place is also suitable for bird watching and horseback riding.

What is a trip to Davao without a trip to the Tribal God’s Abode in Mount Apo. The highest peak in the Philippines, many outdoor enthusiasts and mountain climbers can not resist the lure of the mountain’s beauty. Take a dip in the cool streams and waterfalls as you trek along the verdant surroundings before reaching the summit.

After the adventure in Mount Apo, you might want to visit the Philippine Eagle Sanctuary. The majestic Monkey-eating Eagle considered an endangered species, can be found only here in Davao and a portion of the Sierra Madre Mountains in Luzon.

For a change of pace, know the culture and history of the place by going to the Davao museum and the centuries old San Pedro Cathedral. Admire the colorful Art, handicrafts, tribal costumes and jewelry and shop for souvenirs in the museum. The cathedral, named for the city’s Patron Saint, is the biggest and oldest church in the city. It houses age-old/antique images of saints and well preserved structures built during the Spanish period.

Experience Davao, befriend the warm and hospitable people and have a taste of the native delicacies. Have fun while learning and enriching your knowledge of the world. It’s truly a feast for the eyes and the palate!
