Malagos Garden Resort
Periodo migliore per visitare
Visit on weekday mornings (9-11 AM) when the bird show and chocolate tour run back-to-back without weekend crowds. The gardens stay coolest before noon, perfect for walking the hillside trails.
Consigli per il budget
Entrance is around PHP 300-400 per person (2024) which includes access to the gardens, bird park, and butterfly sanctuary. Chocolate and cheese-making tours cost extra (PHP 100-200) but are worth it; skip the overpriced restaurant and eat at the café near the chocolate factory instead.

Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Sprawled across 12 hectares of forested hillside, this family-owned resort doubles as an educational farm where cacao meets cheese-making under one roof. Its bird park stages daily shows featuring 200+ tropical birds, while the on-site chocolate factory grinds single-origin cacao from trees growing right on the property.
Punti salienti: The resort grows, ferments, and roasts its own cacao beans on-site, producing single-origin Malagos Chocolate you can watch being made from pod to bar. A working cheese facility next door churns out fresh kesong puti using milk from the property's own goats, creating an unexpected farm-to-table experience in the middle of a garden paradise.
Consigli da insider
- Wear sturdy walking shoes: the resort is built on a steep hillside with lots of stairs and sloping paths.
- Catch the 10 AM bird show for smaller crowds and better light for photographs.
- Buy chocolate bars directly from the factory shop at the end of the tour they cost 30% less than in Davao City malls.
- Skip the swimming pool it gets crowded with local families on weekends and the garden trails are the real draw.
