Kalaw's Place Palangan, Puerto Galera, Mindoro Philippines

The Kalaw Place in Puerto Galera was established in late 1979 when a small weekend cottage was enlarged to accommodate the influx of tourists coming to Puerto Galera. No formal architectural designs were laid out, and all existing rooms and houses were oriented based on the lay of the land , the sea, and the path of the sun.

The primary growth of hardwood trees, palms, bamboo, and mangrove have been complemented with landscaped walks and areas planted to ornamental flora. The inn started as a communal effort of “refugees” from the city offering rooms and vegetarian meals supplemented from its own organic garden. It has evolved into a family-run inn offering superior rooms and suites and fine dining to the visitors and guests of Puerto Galera.

Kalaw Place is located on a hilltop overlooking the enclosed cove of Puerto Galera and offers the finest living and privacy while in Puerto Galera. Eight rooms and two cottages are spread out amidst three hectares of private landscaped ground in a tropical hardwood jungle. Each room is uniquely designed and furnished to suit each budget and taste. The Restaurant features home-cooked meals, while the bar/recreation area offers sunning, swimming, snorkeling, table tennis and billiard. Apartment suites with kitchenette are also available. Our central location provides access to all beaches and point of interest in Puerto Galera either by foot, banka (pump boat) or jeep.
