Manam
i Resor
t is an architectural marvel built on
a 5-ha estate.
Unveiled last March is the first resort under the Signature Collection of Discovery Hospitality Corp.: the Manami Resort, also a part of Kiwi Collection, the curator of the world’s most exceptional hotels. Perched in the best-kept-secret nature oasis of Negros Occidental, Manami Resort is the first and only luxury nature resort in Sipalay.
A Manami story
A direct Hiligaynon translation, “Manami” means beautiful—beautiful nature experiences where humans live and immerse themselves, the beautiful connections created with family and friends, the beautiful feast of flavors over curated food, and the beautiful Negrense culture.
The resort
From Manila, guests can take domestic flights to Dumaguete City or Bacolod City. Upon arrival, they will need to take a land trip (about 2.5 to 3 hours) to reach this architectural marvel built on a 5-ha estate where the hillside and coastline meet, overlooking the vast waters of the Sulu Sea.
Nestled on the hillside are 16 stunning villas and suites, sprawled out to confer lavish spaces for ultimate privacy at the center of the nature reserve. Each accommodation features impressive views, whether of the sea or the landscapes, and unparalleled amenities such as day beds for that extra comfort.

Dining
The homage to the Negrense culture comes with a showcase of the rich regional gastronomy that carefully blends each flavor from fresh local ingredients. It’s the delicate way of cooking that makes the local cuisine distinct.
Lingaw Restaurant, which means “entertain” in Hiligaynon, combines the local Negrense cuisine with aromatic Spanish flavors. With the tradition of delectable feasts, a culinary journey lies ahead with special experiences to relish in.
Adjacent to the main pool is the Hunas Sunset Deck and Bar. Hunas, which means “low tide” in Hiligaynon, features a selection of traditional beverages and concoctions wherein local flavor infusions take centerstage along with Spanish Pintxos and tapas.

Nature experiences
Manami Resort features immersive nature experiences such as sailing through the Sipalay Sea, exploring Tinagong Dagat, and snorkeling at Campomanes Bay. A distinct feature in Manami Resort is the in-property cave where you’ll find a stunning secret spot that engages you in a different perspective of life. A “Nature Butler” will guide you through every journey.
Linong Spa
Linong Spa meanwhile creates an extraordinary wellness experience with native cocoons atop the hill, with singles and couple wellness huts. Relax the mind with the aroma of Manami’s signature oils, refresh with local tea, and discover rejuvenation like no other—an ultimate sensory experience.
