Stories & Commitments

Barefoot Luxury With Soul

Set on one of Panglao’s most pristine private beaches, South Palms Resort & Spa Panglao is a tropical sanctuary where boutique elegance meets authentic design. Inspired by local Boholano culture and the island’s natural rhythm, this five-star hotel in the Philippines invites you to reconnect with nature and experience Panglao's rich heritage. Farm-to-table dining, soothing spa rituals and immersive cultural experiences reflect a deep respect for the land and its traditions. Surrounded by swaying palms, flowering gardens and the gently lapping sea, every moment here feels rooted, meaningful and beautifully serene.

The Art of Island Living

1 / 3

An Enchanting Journey Into the Heart of Boholano Culture

Inspired by the Sirenna legend, South Palms brings Boholano heritage to life through story-driven design and soulful rituals. Every evening at sunset, the gong is sounded, torches glow and guests gather by the fire for the Engkanto ceremony – a moment of magic and meaningful connection.

In Harmony With Nature

Locally crafted architecture blends into lush surroundings, offering boutique elegance with a lighter footprint. South Farm’s hands-on workshops and fresh organic food invite guests to form a deeper connection to nature and support a more sustainable island life.

Tranquility by the Sea

Far from the crowds, discover a serene escape on a private white-sand beach backed by swaying palms. Snorkel vibrant coral reefs and a legendary shipwreck. Go kayaking at sunrise, walk barefoot along the beach or unwind with a sensory massage caressed by a gentle ocean breeze.

Welcome to South Palms Resort and Spa Panglao - MGallery, where every detail reflects the soul of our wonderful island. We invite you to feel at home on our private beach, savour organic flavours and experience the personal warmth of Filipino hospitality.
