A modern sanctuary in stunning Camiguin

Nouveau Resort is nestled against a backdrop of the tallest mountain in the island Mount Timpoong, which connects to Mt. Hibok-hibok where both ranges form what has been considered one of Asean’s newest heritage parks.

First luxury resort

Nouveau Resort reminds most first time guests of the Hilton Hawaii in the ‘90s, with its sprawling two-story structure, palm trees, sea view and lush rainforest.

With a landscape dominated by lush rainforest and rich volcanic soil, there is no other better location for the first and only luxury resort in the region but Camiguin, a pearl-shaped island with an area of approximately 92 square miles of unspoiled sea, sand, forest and almost pure culture.

Somewhere down southeast of the island lies Nouveau (nouveauresort.com), a resort of a modern contemporary design on a sprawling 5-ha development which includes a helipad, two docking stations, 300-person capacity function hall, two restaurants, infinity pool with extended Olympic length and a recreation center.

In Camiguin, Nouveau Resort is nestled against a backdrop of the tallest mountain in the island Mount Timpoong, which connects to Mt. Hibok-hibok where both ranges form what has been considered one of ASEAN’s newest heritage parks.

Its cozy vibe is readily felt with the use of natural elements all throughout the premises. Its 150 rooms are built no higher than two stories so as not to overpower the relaxing summons of the mountains and the ocean. Room sizes range from 35 sqm to 97 sqm. The use of contemporary colors of gray, beige, nude and earth tones keep it warm, assuring and welcoming.

Unique yet simple

The rooms are a soothing collection of colors with warm textures, while in public spaces, modern accents provide contrast.

First timers will be met by an overwhelming surprise of unique yet simple design combining the elements of wind, wood, fire and stone.

Huge corals that are replicated in a warm tone of teal mark the walls of the lobby with a ceiling that spans 20 meters high. The soft and soothing chimes of the hanging glass leaves right at the entrance never fail to make one feel in trance.

The resort’s open concept offer utmost relaxation that allows guests to move around freely. The spectacular sunrise can be enjoyed either from most rooms that have balconies or through a walk along the boulevard which is right next to 400 linear meters of shoreline.

With a layout and architecture allowing so much freedom and interaction with nature, it makes it difficult for one to leave Nouveau—fresh, modern, but never overbearing.
