Travel savvy Filipinos have always had a soft spot for Puerto Galera. For years, its popular beaches, White Beach and dive spot Sabang, have always been dependable, go-to destinations. After all, there is comfort in the familiar.

The Location
To those who dared to venture beyond the familiar, a few minutes away from the Balatero Port, past White Beach, right along the highway is a place that is guaranteed to reward those who would ask for more from Puerto Galera.

Emerging in Talipanan beach, Puerto Galera, a new standard is quietly being set at Infinity Beach Resort.

Sitting on a 2-hectare property with the mountains of Malasimbo, Talipanan and Alinbayan of Oriental Mindoro on one side, the aquamarine waters of the Verde Passage on the other side, and a river running through another, Infinity Beach Resort's location alone is enough to elicit approval from nature lovers to Feng Shui enthusiasts alike. If one wondered, where the name came from, the endless views could offer an explanation.

The Experience
A visit to Infinity can only be described as a complete getaway. From the location, to the luxurious facilities, to the gastronomic journey provided by The Brae's world-class chef Hans Peter Eckstein, guests will be pleasantly surprised by the other activities the resort has lined up, such as a trip to the Mangyan Village, hiking at Mt. Malasimbo, or a farm tour at Hacienda Morillo.

So, step out of your usual Galera plans the next time you dock into one of it's busy ports and stumble upon this Oriental Mindoro gem.
