Sunset over the West Philippine Sea from the resort shoreline
Morong, Bataan

Sunsets over the West Philippine Sea

A quiet beachfront retreat in Morong, Bataan — sunset views over the West Philippine Sea, unhurried rooms, and the kind of stay you plan the rest of the year around.

Welcome

A small resort on a quiet stretch of the Bataan coast

We are three hours from Manila and a world away from it. Twenty-four rooms, one restaurant, a pool that faces the water, and a shoreline that empties out by mid-afternoon.

The resort has been in the same family since 1998. What has kept guests coming back is not a long list of facilities — it is the short walk from the room to the sand, and the fact that the sunset arrives at the same table every evening.

Restaurant & Beach Bar

Relax and dine at El Mar

Breakfast on the deck, long lunches under the palms, and a dinner menu that leans on what the Morong boats brought in that morning.
