Your home for the holidays

It has world-class surfing spots, pristine white beaches, abundant palm trees and lush mangrove forests. No wonder it was voted “best island in Asia” in Condé Nast Traveller’s Readers’ Choice Awards 2021 and was also chosen by Time as among the World’s 100 Greatest Places 2021.

Check out the picturesque Kalinaw Resort when looking for a home away from home in this island paradise. It is located right in front of the beach and practically a few steps (and paddles) from all the best surf spots in General Luna.
