Bali-Inspired Masamirey Cove Resort in Pangasinan

Let’s be honest — we’ve all fantasised about waking up in Bali, diving into an infinity pool, and soaking up tropical vibes without a care in the world. But plane tickets aren’t exactly cheap, and not everyone’s schedule screams “international getaway.”

The good news? You don’t have to leave the Philippines to get a slice of that Bali magic. Tucked away in Sual, Pangasinan is a hidden gem that’s giving serious island escape energy: Masamirey Cove Resort.

It’s giving... soft life

From the moment you walk in, Masamirey Cove sets the mood. The whole place is clean, calming, and tastefully tropical. Think coastal interiors, wooden accents, earthy colours, and open spaces that make you feel like you’ve walked into a beachside Pinterest board.

And yes — that infinity pool? Unreal. It stretches out toward the ocean and honestly, you’ll feel like time just slows down when you’re there. Whether you're floating in the water, lounging with a cold drink, or lining up your best sunset shot, it's impossible not to feel relaxed.

The best part? It's ridiculously affordable

If you’re thinking this place must cost a fortune — plot twist: it doesn’t. You can enjoy a day tour for as low as ₱380, and that already gives you access to the beach and pool. That’s less than your usual brunch bill and way more satisfying, if you ask us.

There are also packages available if you fancy a meal or want to try a few extras like kayaking or a quick boat tour, but the basic entrance alone is already a vibe.

What to do while you're there (besides take a million pics)

Aside from soaking in the pool, the beach is just a few steps away. It's quiet, clean, and perfect for lazing about. You can swim, stroll, or just lie on the sand pretending you're in a music video.

If you’re up for a bit of exploring, Masamirey Cove also offers island hopping trips. One of the usual stops is Cabalitian Island, a scenic spot that feels untouched and is great for those “secret paradise” kind of moments. Perfect if you’re trying to unplug for the weekend or impress your travel-hungry feed.

Getting there

Masamirey Cove is in Barangay Masamirey, which is part of Sual in Pangasinan. If you’re driving from Manila, expect a road trip of around five to six hours — ideal for blasting music and catching up with your travel crew.

Don’t drive? No worries. Buses headed to Alaminos or Bolinao can drop you off at Sual, and from there you can catch a tricycle or local transport straight to the resort.

Should you go?
