CONCEPT ONLY | Properties NOT for Sale

Welcome to Tala

Tala Residences is a boutique luxury residential concept under consideration for Negros Oriental, Philippines, designed around a vision of modern Filipino accessible luxury.

Positioned on a ridge overlooking the Bohol Sea and the Apo Island Marine Sanctuary, the elevated setting was chosen deliberately for panoramic sea and island views, greater privacy, and a more residential, less transient atmosphere than coastal resorts.

The project combines hospitality investment, lifestyle ownership, retreat infrastructure, and long-term retirement positioning within one professionally managed environment.

Welcome to Negros Oriental

Negros Oriental offers a distinctive combination of coastal landscapes, mountain scenery and vibrant local communities.

From the marine life of Apo Island and the beaches of Dauin to the cultural and educational centre of Dumaguete, the province offers remarkable variety within a relatively compact region.

Its relaxed pace, established amenities and connections to neighbouring islands create an appealing setting for visitors and residents alike, where natural beauty and everyday convenience comfortably coexist.

The Concept

The development would consist of a central hacienda and six large three-bedroom villas of approximately 400sqm across two storeys. Each villa has its own plunge pool and access to landscaped communal gardens.

In its initial phase, the estate operates as a professionally managed hospitality business, welcoming divers, wellness travellers, and professionals drawn to the region.

It delivers commercial income that supports both the property and its owners.

Over time, this gives way to a more relaxed chapter, as residences transition toward long-term residential living.

The years spent welcoming guests laying the groundwork, financially and more, for the home that follows.
