Davao del Sur Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Bali - Bali Beach Resort

I know many of us put Bali, Indonesia as one of our travel goals. But maybe as of now our budget doesn't allow us. Well, I have an option for you! Visit this resort situated at Brgy. Catagman, Samal Island. This is just 15-20 minutes away from the ferry boat wharf. Very Accessible. You can ride a tricycle or a motorcycle from the wharf at a fair cost or you can also get there by riding their exclusive boat. The Moment you get there you will already feel a taste of Bali, Indonesia. They have beautiful and very clean rooms and cottages. They also have dorm type rooms for group trips. You can enjoy both their Pool and beach with white sand and clear water. Their food is also good. Make this Resort as one of your Summer escapade!! #mytripvlog #lovetravels #2023travelwish #beachlife #tripblazers

I am a Conqueror!

Never imagined in my life to try Scuba Diving. Just thinking the Deep Blue sea gives me goosebumps and imagining what's there underwater scares me. But i conquered and explored the wonder and the depth of one of the diving spots at Samal Island. Life and beauty underwater water is unexplainable. God's one masterpiece of creation. Thanks to my beloved sister for inviting me to do this. I never regretted saying Yes even if it means jumping into the unknown. We booked our scuba diving at Sta. Ana wharf, Davao City. When you get there you will have a lot of scuba diving shops to cater your desired adventure. #mytripvlog #beachlife #awesomepic #lovetravels

That beautiful sunset

#2023travelwish There's definitely a reason why Davao is known as the "Crown Jewel of Mindanao". Not only with its urban attractions but also with exquisite island destinations to unravel. The stunning 1-day island hopping getaway is the famous Samal Island hopping. At the end of the tour heading back, a beautiful sunset rewarded us this majestic view. A day well spent with a wonderful memories to cherish. 2022 has been memorable so far. I wish to have a 2023 full of wonderful memories too.

Best Escape Anyone Can Have

#tripblazers #beachlife (B)est (E)scape (A)nyone (C)an (H)ave B.E.A.C.H. Nothing fancy during this trip. Just a crystal clear water under a sweet sunlight plus fine smooth sand! We had a great time at Alorro Cystal Beach Resort in Kaputian, Samal. A break before a Busy December happens is indeed pampering! Preparing your soul to end the year is indeed a must. This is a 1-hour ride from Samal Wharf / Camp Holiday Resort & Spa Island Garden City of Samal! Lez go!

Eden Nature Park Davao Philippines 🇵🇭

Nature lovers like will surely enjoy walking the park's 4-kilometer forest on your own. The entrance fee is 550 for adults & PHP 350 but it includes a lunch buffet. To get here, you must book a private transportation because it is approximately 28 kilometers (or one hour) from Davao City. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is recommended!🇵🇭 #visitphilippines #itsmorefuninthephilippines #mytripvlog

Experience Nature at Eden Nature Park

If you want an authentic mountain experience, you should visit Eden Nature Park located at Bayabas Toril, Davao City. You can enjoy spectacular view of the pine trees, enjoy the fun rides, tour the resort, learn about the culture and of course, take pictures! They also have a buffet lunch for only Php 650 (as of March 2022). I definitely enjoyed their food. 🤤 I would highly recommend this place if you're visiting Davao City. 😊 #davaocity #nature #foodie #philippines

SAMAL ISLAND

Last weekend, we decided to visit the beautiful city of Davao and went to Samal Island, we went to Cavanico Resort and the daytou price is only Php 300 pesos. You can already use their amenities such as pool, beach, cavana, and many more. During our first stay in Davao, we went to Eden Nature Park, a 30 mins drive from Davao Downtown, we paid Php 350 for daytour but that includes snacks! you can either choose between spaghetti bolognese or a sandwich. food is okay, and worth the price plus the view. inside the resort theres a plenty of activities you can do, like skyrider, skycycle, sky adventure convo, zipline and more! so what are you waiting for? visit Davao! :)

Escape from the City

my favorite escape from the city is Eden Nature' Park. let's admit it, for us average people, it's kinda pricey---from roomrates, buffet and rides. BUT... it is worth the price. I have been there for four times already but I always wanted to go back. getting there is not a problem whether you have a ride or not. if you don't have, there are motorcycles to tricycles you can hire to get there. the first time we got there, we paid for 100pesos each. the rooms are not airconditioned. why? The nature got you covered. the swimming pool is freezing cold and you got it exclusive since pandemic. the pool will be booked for an hour all by yourself and your gang! the food is exemplary delicious! during the pandemic, their buffet is close yet with an amount of 350 pesos, they got you covered from appetizer-drinks-main course-dessert! but the good news is, the buffet is back. they have the fishing village too! you can have your 450php consumable. They will cook the tilapia and the catfish you caught too and it is soooooo delicious!

House of Eve Samal Island Resort

Are you in search of a serene yet enjoyable getaway? Look no further than the House of Eve on Samal Island Beach Resort, your ultimate retreat in Davao. The pleasant journey from Babak's barge area to the beach house takes approximately 30-40 minutes, and upon arrival, you'll be greeted by a rejuvenating atmosphere. At the House of Eve, you'll find five duplex rooms, each equipped with four beds, including one situated beneath the viewing deck near the pool area. Additionally, there is one single room perfect for a couple's stay. All of these accommodations are conveniently located within walking distance of the outdoor pool. The pool offers unrestricted access throughout the day, providing a panoramic view of the captivating Davao gulf.

PARAMOUNT COFFEE, CROCODILE PARK

Another instagram-worthy coffee place here in Davao City. Located within Crocodile Park, together with other new restaurants. Paramount coffee is known for its instagrammable spots which is why Davaoeños really want to visit their shops for photo ops. They also offer affordable meals aside from coffee and desserts. But, if you plan on food-hopping, then their branch in Crocodile Park is the best option as you can also visit the other restaurants within the area. #ParamountCoffee #Coffee #Davao
