Buri Resort & Spa

Summary

Situated on the northeastern coast of the Philippines’ Mindoro Island, Puerto Galera is well-known for its astounding natural beauty. Designated as a UNESCO Man And Biosphere Reserve in 1973, the region is a paradise of shimmering seas fringed by lushly verdant mountains- a place that has earned an international reputation for its spectacular beaches and thriving coral reefs. As the only fully dedicated spa resort in the area, Buri Resort & Spa uses the splendour of its surroundings to accentuate the relaxation and healing properties of its treatments. Each of the resort’s twelve traditional Filipino villas are designed to harmonise perfectly with the rusticity of their hillside setting, and as such, Buri Resort & Spa has created a true haven from which to explore all that Puerto Galera has to offer.

Animasi Restaurant:

During the day, Animasi acts as a gourmet dining spot for sumptuous breakfasts and lazy lunches, featuring a full menu of Western and Filipino favourites. At night time, Animasi transforms into a magical venue illuminated by the glowing infinity pool and surrounding garden pathways. The dinner menu reflects the restaurant’s proximity to the ocean, specialising in mouth-watering seafood straight from the grill.

Located next to the resort pool, Blue Bar offers refreshing drinks and fresh fruit shakes in a beautiful open-air setting. In the evenings, candlelit views of the resort grounds provide an atmospheric backdrop for a delicious dinner or an intimate aperitif.
