Building Your Own Beach Resort In The Philippines - From Scratch!

#philippines #resort #travel
Are you KooKoo enough to build your own resort from scratch in the Philippines, with nothing but bamboo, leaves, and no experience? Let's meet an unlikely pair of beach bums who did exactly that, turning an empty stretch of beach into a charming local landmark - and all without using a single nail! Sound impossible? Then you haven't met Nikki And Jamie yet, a British couple who were determined enough to build their own idyllic resort in the Philippines!

Not allowed to build your beach it's illegal

[@kevinternes3188]

Who built a beach? Are you referring to this place or something in general, somewhere else?? As in this video, it was explained how this place came to be. I think God had something to do with it also. ​@dongshengdi773

[@Larry-b5b]

After 7 years you can become a dual citizen

[@PaMuShin]

@@dongshengdi773 the selling of land in the Philippines is a mess, not sure if the control of buildings is so much better. That is why a lot of people seem to say do not buy land and the stuff that is built in the country do collapse on a regular basis anyways like the Ruby Tower

[@PaMuShin]

This reference pea did screams for a dare the pea las vegas episode! Yeah, I'm spendin' my money (ah), I'm out of control (ah) Somebody help me, she takin' my bank roll But I'm king of the club (ah) and I'm wearin' the crown Poppin' these bottles, touchin' these models Watchin' they asses go down down, You spin my head right round, right round When you go down, when you go down down

[@derricksmith6573]

My wife and I did this. She said let's build a resort. I said we can't afford it. She said yes we can. as usual she was right... Tala all

[@johnclark7973]

[@derricksmith6573]

​@@TheFilipinaPeaIt's full everyday. I have to get a reservation to go to my own resort. If you get a business minded Filipina you can do anything.

[@silverliner4894]

That's one Kookoos nest I wouldn't fly over. The water there is just incredible. Looking forward to my trip to the Philippines next month

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Come to Negros and see it for yourself 👍👍

[@garylagera8048]

​@@TheFilipinaPea What a fabulous experience to stay at the kookoosnest just to get back in touch or to appreciate nature as is in the Philippines. I would simply get to know myself for who I am - not who I was or who I want to be when I grow up but right then and there. I've reached the point in my life where the experience would invigorate me and have me realize life can be good. Maybe a spiritual time - maybe not. I need to do this for me... To envelope myself in that beautiful setting would be heaven on earth. Initially I feel it would be best to be by myself. I wonder what it would be to share the experience with you Pea. Not to be creepy but to actually orchestrate a beautiful experience that would never be forgotten. The more I view your videos, the more I appreciate you as a woman. There are guys out there that cherish you and see you as femininity, life , love , wisdom all in a quaint package. I truly wish to meet you and share some special moments. Be my friend Pea...

[@Koya_Sipanlog_Express]

My first time there was in the mid 90s. My friend, Ian, owner of the nearby Antulang Beach Resort and a Spaniard named Enrique, who lives in a small boat in Tambobo Bay brought me there. Nikki’s kinilaw is the best. Beer is always ice cold. Good to see them still young and healthy.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Another satisfied customer!! ❤️❤️❤️👍😊

[@smferreiro2610]

I was just planning one! I'm just a couple millions short... just that!

[@TheFilipinaPea]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wish I’d asked him how much the entire thing cost! 😳

[@PaMuShin]

You could calculate easily, 40 pounds weight per per cubic foot bamboo, maximum cost in philippines of bamboo is 150 PHP per pound. Estimating from peas size these were around 5m width and on the stairs you see them around 10 stairs deep, The distance between each stem is pretty equal too. So lets say the are at best 5x10x4 equals 200 cubic equals max 8000 pounds so each hut would be at max 24.000 dollar and these things are hollow. So one hut has probably cost max 10k. I would say he has roughly paid as much for the whole thing like pea did for the massive house for her parents.

I wonder how that happened when they cant buy land in the phillipines

[@MrRushepoo]

I was wondering the same thing. They seem to be somewhat well connected.

[@Murph_.]

They lease the land. They say it around 3:41

[@TheFilipinaPea]

As they said in the video, they leased the land, they don’t own it 😊

[@nahteo]

They were vague on the details, but disclosed that they do not own the land and suggested that they have something along the lines of a multiple decade lease with a multiple decade option (to renew). They returned to the lease vs buying discussion again later in the video, as a lovely and humble example of starting small and simply. Overall an interesting video about a beautiful place run by a seemingly lovely couple. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️would recommend you watch it sometime

[@danieladkins9227]

They lease the land for like 50 years which is cheaper then buying it
