ISLAND NEST RESORT
A Quiet Sanctuary in the Heart of a New Paradise
A Quiet Sanctuary in the Heart of a New Paradise
DAPITAN CITY Chosen by History. Preserved by Nature. We didn't choose Dapitan City by accident. We chose it because it remains one of the few authentic sanctuaries left in Southeast Asia.
The Legacy: Known as the "Shrine City," this is where national hero Dr. José Rizal spent his exile. The city breathes history, culture, and safety.
The Landscape: Unlike the flat, overcrowded beaches elsewhere, Dapitan offers dramatic hills rolling into white sands and crystal-clear waters. It is a designated "Heritage Zone" and an emerging eco-tourism destination.
Accessibility: Just 30 minutes from Dipolog Airport (DPL), connecting you to Manila and the world.
THE 5-STAR SERVICE Ownership Without the Burden. Island Nest Resort operates with the precision of a Swiss watch and the warmth of Filipino hospitality. We are not just selling you a villa; we are providing a fully managed lifestyle.
Private Airport Transfers: Your arrival is seamless. Our private chauffeur collects you directly from the tarmac. No taxis, no waiting.
24/7 Concierge: Whether you need a private chef for a dinner party, a boat for island hopping, or a massage on your terrace, our concierge team makes it happen.
Housekeeping & Maintenance: Your villa is cleaned, aired, and maintained year-round. You arrive to fresh linens and a stocked fridge. Every time.
Dapitan City is not just another dot on the map. It is a city with a profound story. It is here that the Philippine national hero, Dr. José Rizal, spent four years of his life. His legacy permeates the entire city—from the historic town square to the lush forests he protected. Today, Dapitan is known as the "Shrine City of the Philippines", a safe and culturally rich "Heritage Zone".
But history is just the beginning. Today, Dapitan City is classified as an "emerging destination." Under the leadership of Mayor Seth "Bullet" Jalosjos, the local government is executing the vision of a "Smart Heritage City", blending tradition with modern infrastructure. Tourism investments are rising, and the region is opening up to the world.
Accessibility: Your journey to paradise is surprisingly easy. The resort is located just a 30–45 minute drive from Dipolog Airport (DPL), the key gateway to the region currently undergoing modernization, including plans for runway expansion and a new terminal. Regular flights from Manila and Cebu ensure you are never far from international connections.
Island Nest Resort is not a hotel. It is a community. On 1.8 hectares of prime land, we have designed only 25 exclusive villas. Why so few? Because we believe that true luxury requires space.
The architectural concept is born from respect for the surrounding nature. The villas are not "placed" on the land; they grow from it. We use local stone, tropical timber, and glass to create structures that breathe. The entire resort is oriented towards the ocean, guaranteeing every owner the most important view in the world: the endless horizon of the Pacific.
Amenities:
Central Clubhouse: The heart of the resort featuring an infinity pool that blends seamlessly with the sea.
Beachfront Restaurant: A place where fresh seafood is served daily and evenings end with a glass of fine wine.
Security: The resort is a fully fenced "Gated Community" with 24/7 security and CCTV, ensuring absolute peace of mind for you and your family.
A Masterpiece of Tropical Modernism Every villa at Island Nest is more than a home; it is a statement of style and privacy.
Built Area: Approx. 150 m² of refined living space.
Plot Size: Approx. 450 m² of private tropical garden.
Layout: 2 Master Bedrooms, 2 Spa-Inspired Bathrooms, and an open-concept living area with a gourmet kitchen.
INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING REDEFINED What truly sets our villas apart is the seamless fusion of interior comfort and outdoor freedom. Massive floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walls vanish to reveal your expansive terrace, merging your living room with nature. Step outside to your private infinity pool. This is not a shared hotel facility. It is your personal aquatic retreat—perfect for a sunrise swim or deep relaxation under the starlit sky.
THE RATIONAL CHOICE Owning a villa at Island Nest appeals to both the heart and the head. It is an emotional escape, but a rational asset.

We handle global marketing, white-glove guest services, and rigorous maintenance. The result? A projected 7.7% Net Annual ROI and an asset that appreciates in value as Dapitan rises as a premier destination.

a fraction of what you would pay in overcrowded Boracay or Palawan. Island Nest Resort offers you the chance to enter this market at the perfect moment—with a European developer, a transparent legal framework, and a product with zero competition in the region.
