A favorite tourist spot
The picturesque resort of Pearl Farm is one of the most visited tourist spots in Davao. You can say the resort is "touristy," but even a jaded traveler will be impressed with what the resort offers.
There is a small port leading directly to a nice cabana jutting out of the sea and in infinity pool with a view.
There is also a stretch of white sand beach for sunbathing, kayaking, and snorkeling.
Adrenaline junkies are not left out.
There is a separate beach area that can accommodate your cravings for beach volleyball, water cycling, windsurfing, and many other water sports. Throw in a training pool for scuba diving for good measure.
Huts on stilts in Pearl Farm
But what I fondly remember are the huts/cottages on the side of a mountain standing on dainty stilts touching the water.
A small veranda offers a nice vista of the ocean. The view below the hut is equally amazing. Blue crystal clear water, fish darting from all directions, corals, the odd sea slug.
I was fighting off the temptation to dive from my veranda to the blue water below.
One can stay in the hut for a whole day and not miss a thing.
It is easy to picture yourself sitting on the veranda, sipping an ice-cold Pepsi, a book in hand, as a calm sea breeze gently whispers.
Getting there
The best way to get to Pearl Farm is still via airplane. After landing in Davao City's airport, one can just wait for a rented van to take you to the pier going to Pearl Farm. It is highly recommended that you make reservations prior to going to Pearl Farm to make your trip even smoother.
