The Exotic Resort is Malapsacua’s original dive centre resort. Situated on this beautiful tiny island in the Phillipines, the resort has not lost any of its charm as it has grown to provide an increasingly high standard and service. Don’t miss out on the spa which offers every kind of massage treatment, whilst the restaurant serves a mouth watering selection of dishes, lovingly prepared by the excellent chefs.
Malapascua with its endless white beaches and lush tropical groves has a big reputation that is all too well deserved. A diving holiday in Malapascua mixes up big fish sightings with macro and muck diving against a backdrop of flourishing soft corals. The star of the show are the thresher sharks. Normally shy and elusive, the Exotic Resort has a proven track record for getting you closer and witnessing behaviours seldom seen before! Hammerheads and manta can also be seen. When you are not looking for the big fish, spend an hour or two on one of the many gorgeous reef dives.
Your holiday package includes return flights, transfer to the resort, 7 nights in a delux room on an full board basis – optional room grades available. As standard your package includes 10 dives but additional dives can be added.
