Dapitan City · Philippines
A Variety of
Adventures Awaits
A private white-sand cove, nine dining venues and one of the country's longest dual ziplines — a beach holiday with a bit of everything.
Dakak · A Private Cove in Dapitan
The Beach, and Everything Around It
Set beside the sea and flanked by mountains, Dakak is a white-sand cove where a quiet morning swim and an afternoon on the zipline belong to the same day.
A 30-minute drive from Dipolog brings you to a sheltered bay of white sand, clear water and lush hills — a private cove with sixty-four bungalows tucked into the trees. Mornings here are slow: coffee on the veranda, the bancas slipping out, the bay calm enough to swim before breakfast.
Then the day opens up. One of the country's longest dual ziplines runs the ridge above the cove; jet skis and kayaks wait on the water; nine dining venues circle the beach, from a 24-hour café to long Filipino feasts under the stars. It is a beach holiday with a bit of everything.

Sixty-Four Bungalows
Where You Wake on the Cove

Nine Venues, One Cove
Dining at Dakak
Set beside the sea, Dakak gathers as many as nine dining venues around the cove — from the 24-hour Le Bamboo Café on the beach to fresh seafood on the view deck, wood-fired pizza at the Italian ristorante, and long Filipino feasts under the stars. Whether you want breakfast as the boats head out, a leisurely lunch with the bay in view, or sunset cocktails by the water, there is a table waiting.

Things to Do
A Variety of Adventures
By zipline, by jet ski, by the slow turn of a sunset cruise — Dakak runs land, sea and air, all from one cove. Choose how you spend the day.
The Adventure Zone
Fly across the cove on one of the country's longest dual ziplines — two lines side by side, the bay and the mountains rushing beneath you. The thrill Dakak is known for.
Out on the Water
Jet skis, banana-boat rides and kayaks across a calm, sheltered bay — the watersports mornings you'd rather feel than watch from the shade.
Cruise the Cove
Cove-hopping by banca, a sunset cruise across the bay, or a quiet paddle to the next stretch of sand — the slow way to take in this coastline from the water.
The Living Sea
Snorkel and paddle the clear shallows over coral and seagrass, where the water turns glassy and the reef comes up to meet you just off the white-sand beach.
Effortless by Design
Your Stay, Already Taken Care Of
From the moment you book to the last morning on the cove, the details run quietly in the background — so the only thing left to do is enjoy the bay.
Book in Real Time
Live availability, and your bungalow confirmed the moment you choose it — with an email in your inbox before you close the tab. No waiting days for a reply.
A Concierge in Your Language
Ask anything, any hour. Our concierge answers in your own language — the best tide for snorkeling, a sunset cruise, a table for a celebration, a slot on the zipline.
Order Around the Clock
With Le Bamboo open 24 hours, order from the café and have it brought to wherever you've settled — the pool, the lounge, the beach, or your veranda.

What Stayed With Them
“The cove is unreal — white sand, calm water and mountains all around. The dual zipline was the highlight of the whole trip.”
“So much to do without ever leaving the resort. Watersports in the morning, the zipline after lunch, then dinner on the beach. The kids never wanted to go home.”
“A proper hideaway in Dapitan. Beautiful bungalows, warm staff, and sunsets over the bay we still talk about. We'll be back.”
