Malapascua is the beautiful little island of the Philippines that hosts Tepanee: an intimate and welcoming resort where you will have the opportunity to spend an unforgettable holiday of relaxation and diving, enriched by a tasty food and wine proposal, suitable for a varied international clientele. Link together the idea of your holiday with a truly unique welcome, staying in cottages overlooking the ocean.Rooms and cottages, built in perfect harmony between functionality and respect for the environment, overlooking the Pacific Ocean or on lush gardens adorned with frangipani, the fragrant flower that gave our name to this corner of paradise. It's holiday time: we wait for you! Malapascua is the beautiful small island of the Philippines hosting Tepanee: an intimate and friendly resort that will give you an unforgettable holiday. Tepanee stands on a small hill that rises up from Logon beach and our territory goes down to our own private sandy beach, an area isolated from the rest of the island from where it’s possible to admire breathtaking sunsets in an area secluded from the rest of the island and where we placed beach umbrellas, sunbeds, a gazebo for massages and our lovely Chiringuito beach bar. In addition, in the hill adjacent to the reception is our panoramic Amihan restaurant. The name TEPANEE comes from the name of the Polynesian frangipani plant, a tropical tree that graces our gardens with fragrant flowers of various colors. Historically, the concept for our resort followed a philosophy of low environment impact. Most of the building materials are natural and local: wood, bamboo and stones used for the main structures, roofs made of a typical straw named kogon. The buildings are almost invisible from the ocean, even if many are built right on the seaside. Opened on December 8, 2008, Tepanee in the beginning was consisted of 6 independent double cottages and one building of two storeyes with 4 triple rooms. We have grown, and can now offer you: Deluxe cottages: independent buildings with a superb ocean view, the best in Malapascua Island, facing the sundown. They feature: aircon, ceiling fan, en-suite bathroom, hot shower, minibar, safety box, balcony with sofa, queen size double bed with option for one or two extra single beds, bamboo and wooden furniture, wooden floor, entrance door and windows with mosquito screen and blackout curtains, free wifi, daily cleaning service.

It is also furnished with a mini bar, a safe for your valuables and wifi connectivity throughout the property. One thing you won't find in our rooms though, is the television as we feel that this distract guests from all the natural beauty this island has to offer. We provide for the wifi in all the resort. Please, note that we are in a remote island and the service sometime may be slow or discontinuous. Since December 2012, you can eat and drink right next to our private beach, at the Chiringuito beach bar, where we serve breakfast and lunch, snacks, drinks and natural fruit juices, cocktails, with soft music in the background.

Snorkeling with sharks

Reviewed By MinhAnhQuach

Lovely resort which has a marine life protected beach. You can snorkel with harmless sharks, thanks to Andrea’s tip, the helpful owner. Service was excellent. Food and drinks were good and affordable, but for some reasons there was no fresh fish available during our stay. We had to go to the local night market to find it. Definitely a place to check out/stay at.

We stayed at Aabana Resort for three days and two nights. They gave us fresh calamansi juice when we arrived. The staff was extremely friendly. Our room was fantastic, and the bathroom was enormous. We feel so at ease because they have so many plants. You have the impression that you are one with nature. Unforgettable vacation, and we will definitely return and try diving soon. To the resort's owner, Sir Mike, thank you so much for your prompt response when we inquired. Thank you for making our stay worthwhile!

Been here with friends just recently; actually we just got home now from this amazing epic adventure at Malapascua (super epic especially on our last night, too long to explain) All I can say is staying in this resort doesn’t feel like really staying in a resort because it feels just like We have visited a family that we haven’t seen in a long time who provided us some warm nice bed and took good care of us for the whole stay. The place is currently been personally run by the Family members from the dad to the kids and to mum. Sir Nigel was super accommodating we already felt at home on our first day very easy to speak with and always at your service, Her wife is the Chef and really cooks well, and please do not miss to try her Fish sticks (Super lami) the guys were amazing too James was very accommodating easy to speak with and his Kuya too they are all over from being the server, bartender and cashier, amazing guys! and oh!!

Kudos to the team!!! and from a seasoned hotelier perspective for me this is one of the best place stay in Malapascua??? #beachfront #malapascua

Making us his korean dish and offer us to try and enjoy it. Our that we stayed in C3 and C1 is very spacious and clean and beds are made and fix up so neatly. Having a very wide veranda were we gather and stay during meal time and stay out until its time to sleep. Our room location was sorrounded with greens and gardens was beautiful with beautiful flowers. We really enjoy having pur own private beach as a family and having to have a quite family holiday. Food at the restaurant are affordable to filipino guests and servings is plenty and valued the money. This place is highly recommended and will definitely come again.
