A place for all seasons: Two Seasons, Coron, Palawan
MANILA, Philippines -There’s a new resort in beautiful Palawan that has been making waves with its world-class facilities and amenities that make it one of the best vacation destinations in the Philippines — the Two Seasons Island Resort and Spa.
The experience begins the moment guests depart from Coron town to embark on a 40-minute speedboat ride to Malaroyroy, Coron.
What looks like a breathtaking illusion from afar is transformed into a virtual paradise — two beaches, one on the west and another on the east that are dotted by tropical gardens, lush mangroves, a house reef and a scenic sandbar that connects to an islet.
The promise of rest and relaxation beckons with the sight of the tropical-inspired bungalow-style accommodations that offer privacy and serenity as well as easy access to the beach. Choose from 42 bungalows with views all around and with some even equipped with their own Jacuzzi on the veranda. The accommodations are luxurious, well-appointed and filled with all the amenities you need for an indulgent stay.
Experience bliss at the Narra Spa. From its inviting interiors filled with narra furniture and indigenous artisan decor to relaxing massages, it can rival popular exclusive spa centers in the world. Highly- trained massage therapists provide soothing treatments such as Asian, Polynesian and contemporary cosmopolitan while lying on Earthlite spa beds. There are also yoga and meditation classes for a holistic body, mind and soul rejuvenation.
A fabulous dining experience awaits guests in the resort’s Sulu Restaurant amidst magnificent views of the island and the sea. Then, chill and take a sip of your favorite drinks and cocktails at the reef-inspired Bahura Bar.
Exciting marine adventures are offered at Two Seasons. The resort is home to the Pawikan Aqua Sports Center that provides equipment rental and dive master services for certified divers while non-divers can have the same underwater thrill with the guided Hydrobob Submersible Scooter that allows 180 degrees of clear water views. For those who want to learn how to dive, the facility offers PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) Beginner Courses and PADI Advanced Courses.
Those who crave water sports action will enjoy stand-up paddle boarding, wake boarding, kite boarding, water skiing, sport fishing, banana boat ride, snorkelling and wind surfing. Kayaking gets an extra kick with the Molokini transparent kayak that allows for visibility of coral reef and underwater sea life.
Day trips to some of the scenic landmarks of Coron that include two lakes and two snorkeling sites are must-do for guests.
When out of the water, recreation activities abound with board games, computer stations, game rooms, a gymnasium, karaoke room, a pool table and adult and kiddie pools to while the time away. There’s also a library, a souvenir shop and a gym for health buffs. A well-equipped conference room is available for company or business clients.
Two Seasons can also be the perfect place to have that dream wedding whether it’s an intimate garden set-up, a festive beachfront gathering or a more traditional chapel ceremony.
Two Seasons Island Resort and Spa offers complimentary buffet breakfasts, Internet access in select areas, free use of non-motorized water sports equipment and roundtrip land and boat transfers, room service, and flight bookings and island transfer assistance among others
