History
The resort's history began in 1978 when a group of visionary doctors purchased the 33-acre estate, leading to the opening of the first 14 iconic octagonal bungalows in 1992. Over the decades, the property expanded to include a diverse array of luxury casas and private villas within the gated Tulemar Gardens Condominium. In 2014, the operation rebranded from Tulemar Bungalows & Villas to the Tulemar Resort Hotel to reflect its evolution into a full-service luxury destination.
