Architecture

The Coconut Palace is a prime example of one of the Philippines' opulent structures. Designed in the traditional Filipino salakot (a signature Filipino hat shape) by Francisco Manosa, the palace primarily showcases the versatility, different uses, and export potential of the coconut tree.

The Coconut Palace is built with different types of hardwood and shells that are indigenous to the Philippines. Coconut lumber is also specially engineered to add to the palace's overall aesthetic beauty.

The palace is also shaped like an octagon to imitate coconut contours before being served as a refreshing drink. This shape provides a uniquely Filipino backdrop to weddings and receptions that are held there.
