8990 Leisure set to develop luxury resort in Siquijor
8990, thru its subsidiary 8990 Leisure and Resorts, recently announced the start of development of its first super luxury resort – Adama Resort Siquijor. Located in a 20hectare property, this resort boasts of its own private white sand cove and 250 luxury accommodations.
The new development is the company’s first foray in luxury resort category. Heading 8990 Leisure and Resorts is president Lowell Yu, the man behind high-end membership shopping chain Landers Superstore, Popeyes Chicken, Kuya J, Isla Sugbu Seafood City, and the iconic Grand Convention Center of Cebu.
Explaining the company’s pioneering initiative to develop Siquijor into a tourism destination, Yu pointed out the island’s pristine reefs, white sand beaches, and its unique appeal as a mystical island that captures the imagination of tourists who have visited the province.
A small island situated in the Central Visayas region, Siquijor’s virgin white sand coastline, clear turquoise waters, pristine reefs, enchanting waterfalls, and caves offer a more exclusive and exciting version of a getaway. It was previously called Isla del Fuego by the Spanish due to the warm glow from the fireflies in the molave trees of the island.
The resort will have top-notch amenities that highlight the natural beauty and topography of Siquijor.
The masterplan includes a central foyer that highlights the island’s natural scenery, rooms that are designed to take advantage of natural light enhanced by the use of relaxing earth tone colors, and luxury cabanas beside crystal clear waters. These amenities will be complemented by an exclusive butler service.
A first glimpse of the resort is expected by 2020.
