Beachfront stays in Negros Oriental
Private plunge pools, a protected reef offshore, and nothing between you and the water.
Sanctuary Cove sits on a quiet shoreline in Zamboanguita, surrounded by lush trees that keep each cottage private and unhurried. Step outside and the beach is only a couple of feet away.
Just offshore, a protected marine sanctuary shelters coral and reef fish. Ready to go further out to sea? We're connected with a local fishing charter for diving, fishing, and island-hopping trips.
Each cottage is a self-contained escape with its own queen bed, living space, dining area, full kitchen, and private plunge pool.
The original Sanctuary Cove cottage: beachfront, with your own private plunge pool just outside the door. A calm, tucked-away base for couples who want the shoreline right outside, with a full kitchen and fast wifi for longer stays.
The second Sanctuary Cove cottage: beachfront, with its own private plunge pool right outside the door. Practically identical to its neighbour, with the same full kitchen and fast wifi, just a slightly different layout and decor inside.
Both cottages open onto the shoreline, with the sand just a couple of feet from your door.
A protected marine sanctuary sits roughly 100 meters offshore, alive with coral and reef fish.

“Amazing place to stay! Very private, incredibly relaxing. Spent hours floating in the plunge pool staring at the ocean. Great beach access for morning walks and evening snorkelling. Mick was very friendly and helpful with local recommendations.”
“This was our second time staying here. We love the location and the host is always helpful with all of our concerns. We've even made friends with some of the locals down the beach.”
“We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, peaceful and very comfortable. The coral reefs were absolutely stunning; we even saw a sea turtle while snorkelling. Mick was especially friendly with great local recommendations.”
Sherry, from the Philippines, and Mick, from Australia, built Sanctuary Cove around the same laid-back pace that drew them to Zamboanguita. Message them any time; they typically reply within the hour.
