At Discovery Samal, love isn’t wrapped in paper. It’s served under open skies, poured into sunset cocktails, and plated across candlelit tables by the sea.
With “Moments Made for Love,” the resort transforms Valentine’s into an island escape shaped by flavor, music, and softly lit coastal views — a celebration designed less around grand gestures and more around shared presence.

Romantic dinners and sunset pairings

These evenings feature a generous spread of buffet selections complemented by live music, creating a dining experience shaped around flavor and atmosphere.
At Morning Catch, the resort’s signature seafood restaurant, diners can savor freshly prepared selections — grilled, steamed, and crisp-fried favorites — all enjoyed against sweeping ocean views and the rhythmic hush of the waves.
Over at Haribar Lounge, the mood shifts to relaxed sophistication. Here, oceanfront seating pairs seamlessly with well-crafted cocktails made from premium spirits, alongside curated wines and aged whiskeys. It’s the kind of setting where toasts linger and conversations stretch long after sunset.
For couples seeking an even more intimate affair, The Bistro presents a five-course experience priced at P3,500 per person. The evening unfolds with a saffron and pistachio-infused chicken roulade, smoked salmon salad dressed in blue ternate vinaigrette, a trio of vegetable purées, and Australian Wagyu ribeye paired with seared scallops and foie gras pâté. Dessert arrives as a cardamom mousse with caramelized dates and bright citrus notes, a refined finale to a romantic progression.
A musical celebration of love
Romance continues beyond Valentine’s Day with “Songs of the Heart” on February 20 and 21. Discovery Samal turns up the volume on love with a headlining performance by Daryl Ong, alongside Myoozik Sensation, Nash and Paul, and Marco Zamesa.
