Malipano Island


Sugary sand, crystal blue water and gorgeous tropical surrounding, that's Malipano!

It's a picturesque island under Pearl Farm Beach Resort Management that can be reached through a speedboat ride, approximately 30 minutes from Pearl Farm.

Peaceful and quiet, Malipano is surrounded with tropical trees and stunning beach side. Going there will cost you nothing because it is part of the accommodation you pay when booking at Pearl Farm provided you will only go there for sight seeing. There are exclusive villas in the island directly facing the ocean and a Gazebo nearby. There's a small chapel also not far from the Gazebo.

This beachside is exclusive for Malipano Villa occupants. 
Visitors from Pearl Farm are only allowed to stay here for less than 30 minutes
Boat ride from Pearl Farm to Malipano takes only 20-30 minutes

I'd come to visit Malipano last August 2012 with friends, and we really enjoyed the moment we spent together while at this island. It has beautiful seaside especially the one facing the open sea, very impressive! With its sparkling blue water, ivory sand and exclusive villas, one can truly expect a wonderful holiday escape experience there.

The villas are so lavish!I only saw the exterior because it was closely guarded by the staff and visitors who are not booked at its villas are not allowed to stay at the beach side fronting the open sea (the one we visited) longer than 30 minutes, in fact we were reprimanded for staying there longer and for resting at the hammock hehe. So we moved back to the Gazebo area and waited for the boat to take us back to Pearl Farm. 

The coconut trees and lush green plants are so refreshing! We were able to do lots of frolicking and jumping around the area. We seated at its neatly-manicured lawn for 30 minutes and just laughed and talked. It was beautiful and I was able to fully relax with my friends.

So many things to do at Malipano :-)

According to Pearl Farm website, there are two types of villas at Malipano: Five villas have 3 bedrooms and two villas have four bedrooms. Each villa is air-conditioned and equipped with minibar and coffee/tea facilities, cable television, living room, bathroom and hair dryer. Just like Pearl Farm's suites and rooms, there is a butler service available for food orders and other assistance.
