Davao City isn’t just famous for being the largest city in the Philippines and for its well-known Durian fruit but also, it is a home to highland resorts where you can escape from the busy reality of the city life.
Tucked in the remote highlands of Marilog District is a place for relaxation away from the hustles and bustles of the progressive Davao City – the Gethsemane Garden.
Gethsemane Garden Resort is a perfect place for everyone to relax and be at peace with oneself and nature. This is also a place where you can have retreats with your group. Here, you can meditate and pray. If you want a meaningful family bonding, take your family here.
There is no internet connection and phone signal is rare hence, a good time to appreciate the company of whoever you will bring here.
You can stay overnight and experience blankets of fog embracing the place. There’s also a media and videoke room where you and your friends can have fun after hours of dipping in its cool swimming pools.
It has thick vegetation of flora and well-sculpted gardens together with orchards of fruit-bearing trees, flowering bushes and canopies of pine trees.
On your way home, if time permits, you can also visit nearby tourist spots in Marilog District such as Alice Log House, Bemwa Farm, Buda Vista Vacation House, Hills View and a lot more.
