South Palms Resort Panglao Bohol – MGallery is SET TO OPEN IN 2024, embracing LOCAL ART AND DESIGN
BOHOL, PHILIPPINES – Accor, the region’s largest international hotel operator, has continued its rapid expansion within the Philippines with the signing of South Palms Resort Panglao Bohol – MGallery, a locally-inspired five-star resort on the idyllic island of Panglao that may introduce this emerging destination’s unique heritage and community values to visitors from all all over the world. The resort joins a robust pipeline of 16 committed projects across the country, and can grow to be the primary resort-style property for MGallery within the Philippines.
Scheduled to open its doors in 2024, the 188-key South Palms Resort Panglao Bohol – MGallery will likely be nestled inside 6.4-hectare of expansive grounds, surrounded by palm trees and overlooking the powder-soft sands of Panglao’s South coast. Throughout their stay on this tropical paradise, travelers can take in the stunning scenery and explore the island’s cultural charms and natural wonders, including snorkeling and scuba diving within the turquoise seas.
When guests usually are not exploring the island or neighbouring Bohol, they are going to have the opportunity to dine at a alternative of 4 restaurants, cool off within the swimming pool, grab refreshments on the pool bar, work out in a well-equipped fitness centre, or enjoy soothing therapies on the spa. A ballroom and meeting rooms may also present compelling opportunities for original, out-of-town corporate events and dream weddings. Every little thing for guests to create their very own stories, stories that stay.
South Palms Resort Panglao Bohol – MGallery is being developed by Alturas Group of Corporations (AGC) with support from Bill Barnett, Managing Director of Asian hospitality consultancy C9 Hotelworks. AGC is a family-run business with a deep emotional connection to Bohol and Panglao. The resort will weave the timeless tales of family and folklore into every aspect of the guest experience. Using a pioneering ‘adaptive reuse’ design approach, the project will embrace the destination’s history by reusing materials from village dwellings in every room. These materials include picket partitions and objects that tell the story of local artisans. This inspiring concept perfectly aligns with the values of MGallery, Accor’s one-of-a-kind global collection of hotels where charming stories are lived and shared.
“South Palms Resort Panglao Bohol – MGallery is an exceptional resort that adds one other outstanding destination to our expanding presence in Southeast Asia, joining our flourishing collection of memorable hotels and resorts stuffed with character and charm. Panglao is an island paradise that guarantees the right mix of soppy, sandy beaches, sparkling seas and wealthy cultural heritage, encouraging more globally-minded travelers to experience its pleasures, and connecting them to the delights of the local neighborhoods. The opening of Bohol-Panglao International Airport in 2018 has allowed this exotic island to usher in an exciting latest era of travel and tourism, and we’re delighted to be on the forefront of this trend. We stay up for working with our partners at AGC to bring this exciting, locally inspired project to life,” said Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel, Sofitel Legend, MGallery and Emblems.
South Palms Resort Panglao Bohol – MGallery will likely be surrounded by extensive leisure and MICE facilities courtesy of Panglao Shores, AGC’s brand-new lifestyle destination that may feature a retail mall, residential and hotels, night market, live performance areas, restaurants, bars and gardens. Developed from the bottom up with sustainability as its guiding light and in consultation with local artisans, vendors, farmers and fishing communities, the future-forward development is designed to profit the island for a lot of generations to come back.
“AGC is a family company that was born in Bohol and cares deeply about this destination. By coming along with Accor, certainly one of the world’s leading hotel firms, we’re proud to boost the standard of hospitality on the island by mixing world-class facilities and international standards with the real local charm and authentic cultural heritage of Bohol, which is predicated on shared community values. Together with Panglao Shores, our destination-defining lifestyle development, we hope to construct a vibrant future for the people of Panglao,” commented Hope Uy, Managing Director of Panglao Shores.
South Palms Resort Panglao Bohol – MGallery is situated lower than 10 minutes’ drive from Bohol-Panglao International Airport, which offers direct flights to and from Manila and other cities within the Philippines, with the potential for international flights in future.
Accor is the leading international hotel operator within the Philippines with ten hotels, resorts and branded residences currently operating and a committed pipeline of 16 hotels scheduled to open inside the subsequent five years. South Palms Resort Panglao Bohol – MGallery is the second MGallery branded property within the Philippines, joining the
