Destination Antulang
Nestled 40 kilometers south of Dumaguete
City, Philippines, ANTULANG BEACH RESORT is
proud to be the first Philippine resort to
offer private pool villas to guests. Each
of our flagship accommodations comes with
its own swimming pool (no plunge pools
here), heated Jacuzzi and luxurious,
spacious rooms all decked out in Canadian
pinewood.
Suspended on ten sprawling hectares of sheer
cliffs peppered with a kaleidoscope of
bougainvillea blooms, swimming pools and
premium rooms are positioned right at the
cliffs’ edge, ensuring guests a commanding
view of an endless sea, while winding
staircases lead directly to a kilometer’s
stretch of isolated white sand beach strewn
with large, natural rock formations. So on
any given evening, let the gentle lapping of
waves caressing boulders on the beach lull
you to sweet, glorious slumber, and catch up
on unhurried, leftover dreams of Antulang...
The Beach
If there's one thing we take pride in, it's
the beaches of Antulang. White and pristine
against the beckoning turquoise-blue seas,
few guests have resisted its allure. Take a
walk down a winding staircase from your
cottage on the cliff and stroll along the
shell-cluttered, secluded beach as you
welcome the sunrise. And keep an eye on the
water, you just might see a jumping sailfish
or a glimpse of a resident spinner dolphin!
Coral Reefs
Antulang is home to 17 documented dive
sites. Manta rays, hawksbill turtles,
groupers and a multitude of marine life
await the most discriminating diver. Our
night dives come highly recommended--guests
swear it's like diving in your very own
private aquarium! And if snorkeling is more
up your alley, Antulang's shallow corals are
home to colorful clownfish, butterfly fish,
moray eels and the occasional octopus.
Nature Tripping
While you wander around the resort, you may
notice some fruit-bearing trees which are
endemic to the area, so by all means,
indulge and help yourself to some manzanitas (bears
fruit all-year round--try to get some ahead
of the fruit bats and birds), sereguelas (abundant
in April and May) bayabas (wild guavas,
available most of the year) and wild passion
fruit; just stay away from the fruits of
the noni tree, which are not edible, and the
fruits of the ubiquitous tigpud trees, which
is strictly for the birds! And speaking of
birds, expect to listen in on their
chirping, especially in the early mornings.
Meanwhile, please don’t be surprised to spot
the occasional monitor lizard (locally
called “halo”), hermit crabs (“umang”),
sentinel crabs (“kagang”) and geckos (“tuko”)
who, like you are also out to enjoy
themselves in their natural habitat.
Activities Galore
Other than billiards, darts and table tennis
at our game room, diving and snorkeling,
kayaking, horseback riding and rappelling
are offered, along with scheduled cruises to
famed Apo Island and nearby Tambobo Bay. An
added highlight for our guests: Although
sunrise and sunset are both visible from the
resort, at certain times of the year one can
marvel at Antulang’s sunset and the
simultaneous rising of a full moon.
Our Library
Bookworms rejoice! Antulang's library is
home to over 5,000 books--surely we must be
the most literally overbooked resort in
Asia--with every title at our guests'
disposal. To check out our titles, please
