Playa Azalea Moves Forward
Work has begun on the ambitious Playa Azalea project on Samal Island. A partnership between Anflocor and Landco plans to build a 522 lot residential seaside community that includes a hilltop clubhouse with infinity pool, greenbelt park, river pool, private 400 meter stretch of white sand beach, and a hotel complex.
Ricardo R. Floirendo, Anflo Group of Companies senior vice-president, said Landco -Pacific would include an important addition to the project, the special development of infrastructure amenities for the community.
“It will have a reverse osmosis equipment that can turn the sea water into drinking water and a power generation source via the Pearl Farm Marina that can provide electrical power to all the households of the village when needed,” he added.
As I’ve mentioned previously, this development is in Limao, and very close to my land. It will be very interesting to check out the progress of this development the next time we visit. It should be pretty far along, and quite evident if it will be a problem, or a benefit.
hi randy,
not sure if you know, but there is another large scale residential resort to the left of limao. the website is http://www.holidayoceanview.com . it’s on the ilihan side.
i’m not connected to the development. just heard about it from a relative.
i hope the island is developed the right way.
Hi Macky – thanks for the comment and link. I had heard about that previously, but I guess I’ve sort of forgotten about it. I started to focus on the Playa Azalea project when I realized it would be so close to my property.
The Holiday Ocean View appears to be a smaller development. They both seem to be very nice, and as you said – I sure hope things are done the right way with regards to the development of the island as a whole.
Hi Macky and Randy – Holiday Ocean View is not very near to Limao. It is in Ilihan as Macky said, on the very northern tip of Samal, just across the gulf from Panabo. That’s a good 30 to 40 minutes drive from Limao.
On my site on Wednesday, I have some video of Holiday Ocean View that I’ll be sharing. Also, I have video of the Playa Azalea that will be on my site soon (maybe next week or the week after).
Hi Bob – thanks for the clarification about Holiday Ocean View. They have a nice map on their site that shows it at the very Northern tip, as you say. I knew it wasn’t very close to Limao.
I’ll be looking forward to both of your videos, but especially Playa Azalea. I was hoping you’d get around to shooting some of that. I’ll probably link to that, if you don’t mind.
I was at Playa Azalea during their ground braking ceremony/party. It’s a nice place. I think the good party also about that place is that it’s look at the city center of Davao city and not the industrial side of Davao city. Can’t wait to see that place to get fully developed.
Hi Tone – thanks for the comment and stopping by. I guess Playa is moving along now. I know I’ve been contacted a couple of times from their sales team wanting to sell me a lot. It should be quit an addition to the island.
I’m not heading back for over a year, but I’ll grab some photos next time. It should be pretty far along by then, if not done.
