Is a holiday rental in Davao worth it?

A holiday apartment in Davao offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Dreamy beaches, Impressive nature and experience Davao like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.

Davao City is the largest city in the southern Philippines and is located on the island of Mindanao. With an area of over 2,400 square kilometers, it is one of the largest cities in the world by land area — its territory stretches from the coast to the summit of Mount Apo, the highest mountain in the Philippines (2,954 m).

Davao is the undisputed Durian capital of the Philippines: The spiky fruit with its intense smell and creamy flesh is celebrated here in all forms — fresh, as candy, ice cream, cake, and even as chips. The Durian market on Magsaysay Street is the epicenter, especially during the harvest season from August to November.

The Philippine Eagle is the largest eagle in the world (wingspan up to 2.2 meters) and the national bird of the Philippines. The Philippine Eagle Center in Davao is the main breeding and conservation station for this endangered species — only about 800 individuals remain in the wild, almost all on Mindanao.

Mount Apo, the highest mountain in the Philippines, is an active volcano and a popular trekking destination. The ascent takes 2-3 days and passes through various vegetation zones: from tropical rainforest to moss forest to alpine grasslands at the summit, where hot springs and sulfur deposits testify to the volcanic activity.

Samal Island, just 15 minutes by ferry from Davao, offers white sandy beaches, coral reefs, and caves. The Paradise Island Beach Resort and the Monfort Bat Sanctuary — home to the largest bat colony in the world with over 1.8 million animals — are the most famous attractions.
