Experience the perfect blend of resort-style living and urban convenience at this spacious 2-bedroom condo. Located directly behind SM City Davao (Ecoland), this unit is specifically designed to host up to 6 guests, offering a “home away from home” vibe that hotels simply can’t match.
Unique Description
Imagine waking up to a lush, garden-view sanctuary in the middle of a bustling city. One Oasis isn’t just a building; it’s a medium-rise community inspired by Italian-Riviera style. The unit features a modern-minimalist layout with a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy living area, and access to a massive resort-style swimming pool that makes every afternoon feel like a vacation.
Travel Guide & Tips
Security: This is one of the most secure gated communities in Davao. Expect a quick but professional check at the main gate.
Groceries: Since you are steps away from SM City Davao, use the SM Supermarket for your pantry needs to maximize the condo’s kitchen.
Laundry: Many units come with an in-unit washing machine, but there are also professional laundry services near the Eco West Drive entrance.

First-Person Review
“I stayed here with five of my cousins for a weekend trip, and the location was a lifesaver. We spent our mornings at the pool and our evenings just walking over to SM for dinner. The unit felt private, and having a kitchen meant we could make our own breakfast and save a bit of money. The guards were friendly, and the check-in was seamless. Definitely my go-to spot for group trips to Davao!”
