Hotel Description
Hippocampus Beach Resort was founded in 2007 and was nothing more than a couple cottages and a small restaurant started by it’s founders. They left everything behind in Europe after being encapsulated by the beauty of Malapascua.
Since then Hippocampus has slowly expanded to having 18 rooms, a full service restaurant and bar, a diveshop operated by Devocean Divers, and the island’s only Kitesurfing School. Located directly in the middle of Bounty Beach, Hippocampus is central to all restaurants, bars, and spas.
The Resort grounds are made up of the three hotel buildings, housing each category of rooms. The Standard rooms (8) are located at the back of the resort, followed by the Superior rooms (6) towards the beach, then the Deluxe Beachfront rooms (4) found directly at the beach.
In between the room buildings you will find our well manicured garden area, which also houses our rescued Nicobar Pigeons. You will also find the Diving rinse area, and kitesurfing shop located closer to the front of the resort, partially in the garden.
In the front of the resort, you will find the bar and restaurant area, the reception desks for diving and hotel, and of course, the beach. The front bar area has a beer garden area which is perfect for having a cold drink after a days diving.
The beach is white sand and palm trees, with tables and chairs, or beanbags for your enjoyment. Relax on a sun lounger or in one of our hammocks next to the turquoise blue sea.
We have tried to make our garden and resort grounds area feel comfortable, warm, and cozy. A lot of improvements have been made to use sustainable bamboo as decoration, efficient lighting to guide you to your room, and personal touches to remind you of the special care and attention that we aim to provide you.
Take for example our unique, one of a kind and “almost famous” directional sign! When you walk into Hippocampus, you know where you are because you will feel the warm ambiance the second you step inside. Come and experience your home away from home, and let us take care of you on your next big vacation to Malapascua Island!
We have a full-service bar and restaurant inside the resort which offers a mix of European, American, and Asian cuisine.
Activities – Malapascua Island is a small place with lots to offer! At the resort you will find Scuba Diving, Stand-Up Paddling, Local Tours and Sunset Cruises!
Outside of the resort we recommend taking a day trip to beautiful Kalanggaman Island, or go for a snorkelling tour around Malapascua, or just go for a walk and get yourself lost in Malapascua. Experience the local villages and meet the friendly locals who live here.
LOCATION – in the middle of Bounty Beach, Malapascua Island. Central to all restaurants, diving, and more!
