Hi fellow travelers, welcome to Enchanted Cove Resort.

We’re Mick and Shiela, and we’re happy you found your way here.

Enchanted Cove Resort started as a simple dream back in 2017. Shiela was running a travel agency at the time, frequently bringing guests to Bucas Grande and Siargao Islands. Every visit to this quiet cove made us feel the same calm and peace, until one day we decided we wanted to build something of our own here — a small place where travelers could stay, rest, and enjoy the beauty of Bucas Grande.

Mick later made the big move from Australia to the Philippines. He packed his suitcase, and with him came his five cats and one dog. With the help of local builders and a lot of patience, we built the resort from scratch. By 2018, we officially opened our doors to guests from all over the world.

Things were going wonderfully — until the pandemic arrived in early 2020. Like many small resorts, we had to close. The lagoon went quiet, travel stopped completely, and it took us five years to slowly rebuild, restore, and bring this place back to life.

Today, we’re grateful to reopen Enchanted Cove again.
We’re excited to welcome new travelers, returning guests, adventurers, families, and anyone who wants to slow down, enjoy the stillness of the lagoon, and experience Bucas Grande in the most peaceful way.
