With an approximate area of 5 hectares, Discovery Samal lies along the coast of Samal Island—a sprawling enclave offering carefully curated dining and relaxation experiences, events, and great entertainment. It has 162 lavish villas and plush accommodations, four meeting rooms, and an opulent convention center that can accommodate up to 1,200 guests. The property promises memorable experiences for business and leisure, and masterfully combines the idyllic setting, refined comfort, convenience and connectivity, and the genuine culture of care that the Discovery brand is known for.
Diverse experiences are waiting to happen in and outside of the resort. Guests can go on a wildlife adventure in the island’s natural playground, or take it easy enjoying the comfort of the resort’s amenities. Take a dip in the famous waters, engage in water sports, or enjoy the resort’s pools amid a breathtaking view. Guests also get access to a tranquil spa and wellness center, a fitness center, and a kid’s club. Discovery Samal takes the world’s wonderful flavors as it offers food and beverage outlets that feature international and local cuisine.
The resort takes business seriously because it understands that guests do so as well. One can build connections and share ideas in any of the resort’s meeting rooms and the lavishly appointed convention center. Guests can take care of business in the daytime then relax and enjoy the luxurious suites at night. Discovery Samal’s numerous hotel rooms offer a scenic view of the Davao Gulf and the region’s metropolis.

As it begins its operations in 2022, Discovery Samal aims to help open up boundless opportunities for the already progressive Davao.
