With multiple long weekends spread across the Philippine calendar in 2026, Discovery Samal invites travelers to plan ahead and make the most of their holiday breaks with its Island Escape offer, designed for restful stays by the sea and unhurried moments in a tropical setting.

Timed with the country’s long weekends throughout the year, the Island Escape promotion allows you to turn short holidays into meaningful island getaways. Whether planned months in advance or reserved for spontaneous breaks, the offer allows guests to experience Discovery Samal’s signature hospitality in a setting defined by calm shores and open spaces.

Where the Weekend Slows Down

The Island Escape offer centers on a comfortable stay in Discovery Samal’s well-appointed suites and villas, designed to complement the natural surroundings of Samal Island. Each stay encourages guests to ease into the day, wake up to coastal views, and enjoy the resort at a measured pace, making it an ideal choice for long weekends meant for rest rather than rush. 

For those seeking light indulgence, a 10 percent discount on spa treatments at Samal Escape Spa opens the door to restorative experiences such as signature hilot massages rooted in Filipino healing traditions, tension-releasing Swedish and deep tissue therapies, and calming body rituals to ease the body into stillness.

Surrounded by lush landscapes and the gentle waters of the Davao Gulf, the resort creates an environment where guests can step away from routine and settle into island living, even within the span of a few days. 

Flavors That Complete the Escape

Long weekend stays at Discovery Samal are paired with dining experiences that bring warmth and familiarity to each visit. Within the Island Escape offer, guests enjoy a welcome drink upon arrival and access to culinary outlets with a 10 percent discount on food and beverage.  

Breakfast unfolds at Shoreline with comforting morning favorites and all-day classics, followed by leisurely afternoons at Morning Catch, where freshly caught seafood and island-inspired dishes take center stage. As the day winds down, Haribar Lounge offers a relaxed setting for signature cocktails and light bites by the sea, while The Bistro offers an intimate dining experience with thoughtfully prepared specialties for unhurried nights.

Framed by the resort’s easy pace and coastal setting, dining experiences become part of the stay, inviting guests to linger without rush and enjoy the calm of island living.

An Island Escape for Every Kind of Holiday
