On a trip to the Philippines, they visited beautiful Puerto Galera and discovered a warm and friendly community offering laid back hospitality and the opportunity to experience world-class diving in unspoilt waters.<\/p>\n

They quickly realised they had found the perfect location for corporate executive programs. They went on to develop unique leadership experiences for their clients, programs that saw participants building resources and infrastructure with the indigenous community in Talipanan.<\/p>\n

Keeping in touch by Skype from opposite sides of the world, Richard and Mark couldn\u2019t shake their desire to return to Mindoro with their families and they began exploring ways to develop a business that could offer a unique diving experience, family-friendly accommodation and contribute to the sustainable development of the area.<\/p>\n

Edgewater, in its idyllic location amongst lush landscaped gardens on the water\u2019s edge of Dalaruan Bay, represents the fulfilment of this dream.[\/vc_column_text][vc_media_grid element_width=”3″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1616597420789-7d959c1d-3bdf-7″ include=”2799,3283″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3265″ img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”3266″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1544034932714{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1603219015312{background-image: url(https:\/\/edgewaterresort.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Picture4-768×476-1.jpg?id=2593) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”350px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1603201857085{padding-top: 61px !important;padding-right: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 47px !important;padding-left: 6.5vw !important;background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”GIVING BACK” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:15px|text_align:left|color:%23666666|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1603218948989{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Working with the Local Community” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:66px|text_align:left|line_height:1.2″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_separator color=”chino” align=”align_left” border_width=”6″ el_width=”20″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1603219076448{padding-right: 50px !important;}”]The Edgewater team are committed to the sustainable growth of the local community and its people.
