Tao Dipnay Farm

Where nature nurtures, flavours bloom and time slows down

Extend your stay with us by adding a night or two at Tao Dipnay Farm in the Philippines. Sample our six-course tasting menu, or simply come for lunch.

Tao Dipnay Farm

We call it the heart of Tao because it has the community and the environment at its core. Our playful bamboo village is a centre of learning for communities. A proud demonstration of natural farming, food production and reforestation. Taste our native cuisine and enjoy relaxing massages with our coconut herbal oils. Explore the trails and reefs of the cove. Let us take care of you with our unique brand of hospitality. Experience life on a working farm in the Philippines.

Our food

Every dish we serve at the Kantina comes from our farm and gardens located on the island. This is where we train our chefs, rear pigs and grow vegetables, and try out new dishes. Here you can sample our six-course tasting menu, Filipino in heart but influenced by our travels around the world. We optimise the resources available, using them in fresh and exciting ways.

Connection

There might not be wifi, but that doesn’t mean you’re not connected. Tao Dipnay Farm is the heart and soul of the Tao community. Here you can mingle with other guests over a sundowner, chat with crew members, and connect with like-minded people who enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

Included highlights

As night falls, the Kantina glows at the heart of the farm. A gathering place for shared meals, stories and laughter. Lantern light, local flavours and the rhythm of island life create a warmth that lingers long after dinner ends.

Relax and unwind! As the sun melts into the horizon, swim side by side in the warm shallows while dogs play along the shore. These are the simple moments of connection that capture the spirit of life at Tao Dipnay Farm, the Philippines.

Meals here are gathered, not just cooked – garden vegetables, freshly caught fish, fruit plucked straight from the tree. Every dish tells a story of the land, the season and the people who grow its ingredients.

Here, connection comes easily. Slow mornings that turn into shared stories, sunsets that stretch into laughter. The Beach Club is open all day, serving cold beers, inventive cocktails and a warm invitation to stay a little longer.
