A Legacy of Sun, Stone, and Soul

Black Sand

Nestled between the emerald canopy of the Bicol mountain ranges and the rare, shimmering volcanic shores of Tiwi, Albay, Marina Black Sand Resort is more than a premier destination—it is a tribute.

Named in honor of the owner’s mother, Marina, our resort was born from a profound inspiration: to provide guests with the same unconditional care we give our mothers, while extending that same devotion to Mother Earth.
