We are in constant search for peace and relaxation. Some have climbed mountains while others have dived into the deepest parts of the sea to be able to attain comfort and isolation. There’s a resort in Davao del Sur that will take you to a calmer state of mind.
Punta de Gloria Resort is a peaceful refuge for everyone who seeks a quieter place to relax and meditate. It is situated in the beautiful island of Samal in Davao del Sur that is known for its white sand and clear waters. It’s so inviting that you can’t resist the urge to immediately swim into the sea once you set foot here.
What’s interesting about the resort is that it was built by the owner for her son who is autistic so he and others with disabilities could work at the resort. It’s indeed a work built out of love. On their Facebook page during the autism acceptance month, the owner expressed how her son had become the source of joy, happiness, and inspiration behind Punta de Gloria Resort.
The resort is the perfect getaway from all of life’s pressure. Once you’re here, expect that you’ll be greeted with a tranquil and laidback ambiance. It boasts itself for serving as a luxurious and intimate setting for a quality staycation experience.
