Origin of Pansukian Resort

In 1989, 27 year-old, Paris-based lawyer, Nicolas Rambeau, went in search for his own piece of paradise. He looked around the Philippines and found it on the island of Siargao. Tucked away in a little corner of this far flung island was a coconut plantation nestled between a tranquil lagoon and a mangrove river fringed by forested hills.

In 1994, he hung up his hat as a lawyer, packed up his life in France and made that permanent move to the Philippines. Though without any architectural training, he designed and built a resort that blends harmoniously with the lush, natural surroundings of Siargao.

Nicolas' commitment to his guests is Pansukian Tropical Resort, a secluded, romantic hideaway where you can escape the trappings of the modern world and commune with nature, yet remain safe and comfortable in a tropical environment. To achieve and preserve this coziness, Nicolas deliberately limited the number of cottages, blending them in a tropical garden. White-sand walkways lead you to precious wooden pagodas adorned with traditional Filipino craftsmanship. Apart from Nicolas and Gai, all the staff are from the island for that authentic Filipino warmth and hospitality.
