South Palms Resort & Spa Panglao – MGallery Collection will introduce a new kind of luxury hospitality and local storytelling to Bohol when it opens its doors on August 8, 2025.
The new beachfront resort is located on Bohol’s most beautiful beach, less than five kilometers from Bohol-Panglao International Airport.
South Palms Resort & Spa Panglao-MGallery Collection said the development is inspired by the legend of Sirenna, the “spirit of the sea” and guardian of Bohol. It said that according to Boholano folklore, a mysterious sunken plane that rests on the seabed is guarded by local spirits.
Architects and interior artists Patricia Ho of White Jacket, Philip Pond of Atelier Pond, and Patrick Keane of Enter Projects Asia adopted a design concept that takes into account Bohol’s time-honored traditions, folk tales, tribal roots, and agricultural heritage.
Each of the 188 rooms and suites is rooted in biophilic design with rustic-chic interiors.
The resort features reef snorkeling, diving, spa treatments, family activities, and authentic rituals, diverse dining options, a kids’ club, a pavilion, and an alfresco lawn set for events.
“South Palms Resort & Spa Panglao – MGallery Collection is more than just a destination; it’s a living narrative. We offer signature experiences that bring the story of Bohol to every guest journey. We have created a place where local culture comes alive, where nature and luxury exist in harmony, and where guests can create meaningful connections that transform every stay into a personal story,” Danish Khan, the resort’s general manager, said.
