Apart from chasing waterfalls or enjoying beautiful beaches in the North, why not try something new?

Let us step that up a notch!

Let’s bring those waves into our pools and experience a genuine splash while enjoying the ambiance of nature!

Yes, ILOCOS URBAN WAVE RESORT features something that you may not typically find in the province, a wave and raging river pool. The resort is a complex of different type of pools and cottages, with Spanish-inspired hotel.

Ilocos Urban Wave Resort first opened its doors to the public in January 2020, with its mission to provide and deliver outstanding services and experiences that creates exceptional value.

And since then, droves of people have visited the place during the weekends, initially out of curiosity, and later to simply enjoy the wonderPOOL waves.

Its artificial waves are created by machines, replicating the waves in the ocean and come in 1 hour interval. Guests can expect the waves to come after a boat horn blares out a warning. When this happens, kids, teens and adults typically run out to meet the waves. The wave pool is big enough to accommodate around 300 people at the same time.

The place also has cottages you can rent during your stay. Cottage rentals are between PHP 350 and PHP 2,500. They also charge a fee for drinks/liquors brought into the resort depending on the type of drink/liquor. The resort also has a grilling station that you can use to cook your food. And for those who find it complicated to bring their own food, the place has recently opened Cafe Onda, a cafe-resto located inside the resort that offers your favorite Filipino dishes while sipping into their signature hot and cold beverages!

The resort also offer ready-to-wear and swim wears may it be bikinis or trunks for sale or rentals.

With these features and excellent services, the Resort was Awarded by Q Asia Magazine as BEST ACCOMMODATION RECREATIONAL WAVE RESORT IN REGION 1, during its first month of operation. More than just providing excellent services, they are also committed in helping communities in need as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility. In January 2020, they initiated a successful donation drive for the victims of Taal Volcano Eruption that has displaced thousands of families. This was made possible with the help of our generous sponsors and partners. The resort also donated over a thousand faceshields and other medical equipment to frontliners during the Covid-19 Pandemic the same year.
