History


The Malagos Garden Resort is owned by the Puentespina family which would introduce chocolate making in Davao City in 2012 through Malagos Chocolate.[1]

The first chocolate museum in the Philippines was opened within the resort in November 2016.[2]

In June 2018, the Malagos Chocolate Spa opened within the resort, which uses cacao husks, a byproduct of chocolate making, produced by the garden resort.[3][4]

The garden resort stopped admitting tourists in mid-March 2020 due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The facility's farming operations continued.[6]
