The Cacao Pearl is offering 100% of its operating profits to eco and socioeconomic development throughout the Philippines. Ouilt on a 124-acre private island in the Calamianes archipelago, the resort is to be surrounded by beautiful rainforest and bordered by over a mile of pristine beaches.
The Cacao Pearl, Palawan is the world’s first non-profit and luxury eco-resort community, having committed to handing over 100% of its operating profits to environmental protection and social improvements throughout the region.
Owned and operated by Cacao Resorts, the resort sits on a 124-acre private island on the Calamianes archipelago – part of the Palawan Biosphere Reserve in the Philippines – surrounded by rainforest and bordered by over a mile of pristine beaches and lies within sailing distance of two UNESCO World heritage sites & four marine reserves.
Cacao Resorts manages and markets eco-chic resorts, retreats and communities in some of the most beautiful places on Earth; inspired by stunning locations and unique history. Each property is crafted by a team drawn from media and film, architecture and environment, property and finance.
The Cacao Pearl, Palawan is designed exclusively for Cacao Resorts by former film art director, Antonio Calvo (“Love Actually,” “Alexander”, “Pride & Prejudice”).
“Forget old luxury, welcome green luxury!” said Joel Cere, CEO of Cacao Resorts. “Cacao Resorts is offering eco-aware urban escapees the luxury of private island home ownership with the launch of a truly guilt-free investment: The Cacao Pearl, Palawan. In a world of homogenous, over-developed concrete destinations, disinterested developers, fake themes and over-priced mini-bars, token green gestures and disenfranchised communities, Cacao Resorts provide an authentic experience for the grown-up backpacker, a guilt-free option for the traveler with conscience, a breath of fresh tropical air for sophisticated urban escapees.”
This new approach to resort-communities is nestled within the eco-tourism destination of Palawan – Philippines,
The Cacao Pearl is an eco-chic low-density boutique resort concept promising sustainable development and sustainable enjoyment — designer homes with zero carbon cost, 5 stars service, an infinity pool, wreck & reef diving, a secluded destination spa, organic gardens & bar, restaurant, private media rooms and enough delicious design details to delight the most discerning guest.
Cacao Resorts operates a “greenprint” for operations and, with development partners Barefoot Investments and Abode Management, benefit from sustainable construction methods employed, ethical management practice observed, and ecologically responsible operations as standard. That means 100% renewable energy, and for the first time in the hospitality industry, 100% of the resort’s net operating profits will be used to support local environmental and social programs.
