If you are in need of a place of rare natural beauty, picture postcard white sand beaches and some of the friendliest, helpful locals you could wish to meet, then hurry along to Masamirey Beach. Located in Pangasinan, where we all tend to think about Alaminos for the renowned Hundred Islands or Bolinao for its Patar white beaches, which of course are great, be different and make sure you base yourself in the fantastic area of Saul and especially check and stay at the Masamirey Cove Resort.

Masamirey Cove Resort is not only an idyllic base for you to explore the greater beauty of Pangasinan, such as tours around the Islands or a great day out on a fishing trip, but is a wonder in its own right. Luxury, Hideaway, Friendly, Welcoming are just a few of the ‘hash-tag’ words you could link to Masamirey Cove.

Amenities

The accommodation and facilities are all custom designed to integrate seamlessly with the outstanding beauty and yet provide guests with the highest level of luxury.
