Your Private Island Awaits —
An Experience Reserved for the Few
ISLA MALIPANO
Pearl Farm’s most exclusive expression
Just across the waters of Pearl Farm lies Isla Malipano, an exclusive island retreat where privacy, nature, and personalized service create a quiet world apart.
Set across eight hectares of lush tropical landscape, the island is home to a limited collection of spacious villas thoughtfully positioned among coconut palms, tropical gardens, and quiet shorelines. Here, the rhythm of the sea sets the pace of each day, inviting guests to slow down and reconnect with the simple beauty of island living.
White-sand beaches frame the island, offering secluded spaces for swimming, sunbathing, and peaceful walks along the shore. Gentle sea breezes move through the palms while the turquoise waters of the Davao Gulf stretch endlessly toward the horizon.
Nearby, the small islet of De La Paz is connected to Malipano by a graceful hanging bridge that leads to a quiet walking platform winding through mangrove forests above the shifting tides. Along shaded pathways and open lawns, peacocks roam freely, adding moments of color and life to the island landscape.
Intimate yet expansive, Isla Malipano offers a rare balance of space, serenity, and attentive service. Each stay is shaped around the guest, allowing every moment on the island to unfold with ease and quiet refinement.
Access to Isla Malipano is reserved exclusively for villa guests, preserving a tranquil private island retreat for those who seek seclusion and the understated elegance of island living.

Hidden amidst the crystalline waters of the Davao Gulf, Isla Malipano Resort is a sanctuary of exclusivity and refinement. Just a five-minute private boat ride from Pearl Farm Beach Resort, this secluded island escape offers unmatched privacy, prestige, and the purest form of personal indulgence.
Here, mornings begin with the whisper of the ocean and end beneath the glow of a thousand stars — a world away from the ordinary, yet intimately close to the heart of Mindanao.

THE VILLAS
Refined Island Living
Isla Malipano is home to a limited collection of spacious private villas thoughtfully positioned across the island’s tropical landscape.
Designed to offer comfort, space, and privacy, the villas reflect a refined interpretation of island living, where open interiors, expansive terraces, and lush surroundings create a seamless connection between indoors and the natural beauty of the island.
Each villa offers a tranquil sanctuary where guests can unwind in complete privacy while enjoying the attentive service that defines the Malipano experience.
Two-Bedroom Pool Villa
Set within lush tropical gardens and framed by swaying coconut palms, the Two-Bedroom Pool Villa offers a private island residence where space, light, and nature flow effortlessly together.
The villa opens to an expansive living pavilion with soaring ceilings and warm natural finishes, where woven textures, polished wood floors, and handcrafted details create an atmosphere of relaxed island elegance. Sliding doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and outdoors, revealing a private terrace and swimming pool surrounded by greenery.
The architecture draws inspiration from the layered rooflines of traditional Maranao houses of Mindanao, reinterpreting their elegant geometry in a contemporary tropical form. The gently tiered roof structure rises into high vaulted ceilings that allow natural light and airflow to move freely through the living spaces, creating a cool and tranquil sanctuary designed for island living.
Designed by Architect Angelo “Gelo” Mañosa, the new villas continue the architectural language long associated with Pearl Farm and Isla Malipano through a new generation of Filipino tropical design.
Days unfold slowly here. Morning light fills the living spaces, afternoons drift between the pool and shaded lounge, and evenings gather around the open pavilion as soft breezes move through the palms.
Two generously sized bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, each with its own ensuite bathroom featuring natural stone finishes, walk-in rain showers, deep soaking tubs, and spacious dressing areas designed for unhurried rituals of rest and renewal.
Thoughtfully positioned within the island landscape, the Two-Bedroom Pool Villa is both a sanctuary and a gathering place, an intimate retreat where the rhythm of the sea, the warmth of natural materials, and the quiet beauty of Isla Malipano shape every moment of the stay.
Classic Three-Bedroom Villa
Set along the island’s pristine shoreline and embraced by lush tropical forest, the Classic Three-Bedroom Villas offer a private seaside residence where nature, architecture, and the rhythm of island life exist in perfect harmony.
Designed as a collection of interconnected pavilions, the villa opens into expansive living spaces that frame sweeping views of the sea. A spacious open-air lounge sits at the heart of the residence, shaded beneath a traditional pitched roof and gently cooled by ocean breezes. Here, the boundaries between indoors and outdoors disappear, inviting quiet mornings overlooking the water and long evenings gathered in relaxed conversation.
The architectural concept takes inspiration from the traditional Filipino salakot, whose wide protective form has long symbolized shelter and resilience. Reimagined in wood and natural materials, the villa’s layered pavilion roof rises into generous vaulted ceilings, creating lofty, airy interiors while providing shade and allowing the sea breeze to circulate freely through the open living spaces.
Designed by Architect Francisco “Bobby” Mañosa, the Classic Three-Bedroom Villas reflect the vision of one of the Philippines’ most celebrated architects, whose work helped define modern Filipino tropical architecture.
Each of the three bedrooms is thoughtfully positioned to ensure both privacy and comfort. Generous in scale and filled with natural light, the rooms feature handcrafted wooden furnishings, woven textures, and large windows that capture the surrounding landscape. Ensuite bathrooms are designed as tranquil spaces of restoration, with deep soaking tubs, walk-in showers, and natural stone finishes that reflect the island’s organic palette.
Throughout the villa, local craftsmanship and indigenous materials celebrate the cultural heritage of Mindanao while remaining deeply connected to the surrounding coastal environment.
Spacious yet intimate, the Classic Three-Bedroom Villa is designed for families and groups seeking the rare luxury of privacy, space, and uninterrupted connection with the sea, a timeless island retreat shaped by nature, tradition, and the quiet beauty of Isla Malipano.
A Legacy Carved by the Sea
Developed under the vision of the ANFLOCOR Group of Companies, Isla Malipano was created as an exclusive sanctuary complementing Pearl Farm’s charm. What began as a serene extension of the resort grew into a haven of privacy and sophistication — home to luxurious villas surrounded by pristine beaches and the calm waters of the Davao Gulf.
Rooted in Mindanaoan heritage, its architecture celebrates indigenous craftsmanship, blending natural materials with timeless design. Every detail — from handwoven textures to artisan-carved wood — reflects the region’s artistry and soul.
Today, Isla Malipano continues to redefine refined living through authenticity, intimacy, and the enduring warmth of Filipino hospitality.
