A Legacy Born from the Sea

Pearl Farm Beach Resort traces its origins to a former South Sea Pearl Farm that was once dedicated to the cultivation of rare pearls within a secluded marine sanctuary known for its extraordinary natural beauty.

In the early 1980s, the property was acquired by visionary entrepreneur Don Antonio O. Floirendo Sr., who transformed the former pearl farm into Davao’s first luxury island resort. Guided by his vision, he entrusted the design of the resort to architect Francisco “Bobby” Mañosa, later declared a National Artist, whose work drew inspiration from indigenous Filipino communities, traditional forms, and the natural terrain of the island.

Today, Pearl Farm Beach Resort and Isla Malipano stand as a living legacy — blending heritage, refined island elegance, and sustainable hospitality. As part of the ANFLOCOR Group, it continues to uphold a tradition of excellence shaped by vision, cultural pride, and enduring Filipino hospitality.
