What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
all anchored by a lobby that feels more like a tropical stage set than a check-in desk.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched at the quiet tip of Punta Engaño, the resort features a private jetty for day cruises around Magellan Bay.
The rooms
Sea-view rooms feature private balconies overlooking the water, while suites add deep-soaking bathtubs and subtle Filipino craft accents.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Multi-tiered waters stretch along the oceanfront, where submerged loungers look out across the calm bay toward distant islands.
The gym
Treadmills and weight stations face floor-to-ceiling glass windows with expansive views across Magellan Bay.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Benjarong prepares authentic Thai dishes, and Sea Breeze Cafe serves international buffet spreads overlooking Magellan Bay.
How it began

Dusit International partnered with Robinsons Land Corporation in 2019, bringing Thai hospitality traditions to the shores of Punta Engaño.
