Dapitan City · Zamboanga del Norte
Twenty-six hectares of gardens, sand and fairway on a private Dapitan cove. An 18-hole par-71 championship course above the bay. Seven kitchens and bars. Five ways to stay, from a garden room to the beachfront casa.
First light
Dakak sits on its own stretch of sand in Barangay Taguilon, hills closing around it on three sides and the Sulu Sea on the fourth. Guests do not commute to the things they came for. The first tee, the spa, the pools and the last bar of the night are all a walk from the room.
Twenty-six hectares of gardens, sea views, resort paths and golf landscape — a beach that sets the pace in the morning, a ridgeline course that takes the middle of the day, and seven places to eat between them.
Mid-morning
Two of them sit inside Villa Erlinda, the cliffside enclave with its own infinity pool and beach. The rest are spread through the gardens and the palms. What changes is how close you are to the water — and how many of you there are.
