13 awe-inspiring coves distinguish Hamilo Coast from other seaside residential and leisure properties in the country. Aside from the abundant topography of the entire Hamilo Coast, each cove has a story of its own, which will surely arouse interest of sight seers and nature enthusiasts on a trip around the 5,800 hectare property.
Initial developments at Hamilo Coast are found at Pico de Loro Cove. It is named after its evident backdrop, Mt. Pico de Loro, the highest point within Cavite and Batangas and famed for seasoned hikers. The mountain is similarly know for its parrot beak-like tip, which is more pronounced when viewed from Pico de Loro Cove. Pico de Loro Cove will be home to 9 low impact and midrise residential condominiums, a four-hectare saltwater lagoon, a hotel, and the Pico de Loro Beach & Country Club. It is a marine reserve or an area where fishing will be restricted.
 
Papaya Cove is named after the fruit it resembles when viewed from above. It remains home to a fishing community and has been a site of mangrove reforestation efforts with the said residents.

It is a natural harbor with calm waters all-year round and will be the future docking area of Hamilo residents and guests coming from the Mall of Asia Complex ferry terminal.
 
Santelmo Cove was named after the ball of fire or "St. Elmo's Fire" local residents attest seeing in the area. It also has one of the best beachfronts in Hamilo Coast with its pristine, and white sand and turquoise waters.
