The Bohol Coconuts Founders Club isn’t just an investment—it’s a partnership designed for permanence
What if your private tropical suite didn’t just offer an escape, but actively funded its own future—and a community’s? On the Philippine island of Bohol, the Founders Club at Bohol Coconuts has quietly engineered an answer.
At its heart is a 60/40 revenue-sharing model that feels less like a transactional split and more like a pact: when the club thrives, the founders thrive, and together they fuel a self-sustaining ecosystem that includes elite youth baseball development. It’s a structure that turns a hospitality asset into an engine for longevity.
The Architecture of Shared Success
The model is elegantly binary, designed to reward both effort and trust. When a founder actively books a guest—leveraging their own network, community, or personal audience—the split shifts to 60% in the founder’s favor, with 40% retained by the operating brand. When Bohol Coconuts fills the suite through its own marketing and brand presence, the founder still earns a passive 40% share.
This dual-track system creates a powerful alignment: the brand succeeds by filling rooms, and the founder can amplify returns simply by sharing an opportunity they believe in. As the membership materials highlight, this gives you the flexibility to “enjoy the suite personally, activate your own audience, or let the destination do the work.”
More Than a Room: The Three Pillars of Ownership
Buying into the Founders Club is not merely acquiring a deeded suite; it is stepping into an intersection of three emotional drivers.
The first is a genuine Tropical Lifestyle—a private island base you can use, enjoy, and return to, far from the routine of rising costs back home.
The second is Income Potential, transforming a getaway into a revenue-producing hospitality asset with built-in booking potential.
And the third, perhaps most compelling, is Purpose & Impact. Every suite directly helps power a larger vision: youth baseball training, education, feeding programs, and long-term opportunity for talented players on the island.
You are not donating to a cause; you own a piece of the engine that drives it.
The Numbers That Make It Real
To understand the model’s staying power, the club provides a transparent 10-year revenue snapshot. Consider the three tiers:
– The Single Suite ($8,000): At a conservative 30% occupancy and a $70 nightly rate, a founder can see a projected passive return of over $30,000 across a decade. At 50% occupancy, that figure jumps past $51,000.
– The VIP Double Suite ($9,000): With its $110 nightly rate, a 50% occupancy scenario projects an $80,300 passive return.
– The Executive Suite ($12,000): The crown jewel, at $165 per night, can return over $120,000 passively at 50% occupancy, and over $168,000 at 70%.
These aren’t speculative stock dividends; they are hospitality-backed projections grounded in Bohol’s rising tourism market. As one regional analysis notes, Bohol is increasingly recognized as a top investment destination for eco-tourism, with a new international airport and a business-friendly provincial government. The Founders Club sits squarely in this growth corridor.
Beyond the Numbers: The Longevity Engine
What truly sustains the club, however, is not just the split but the mission it funds. The Eco-Lodge and its suites are part of a larger operating vision: the Coconuts Performance Center and an Elite Baseball Academy that develops teenage prospects with a goal of producing the first Filipino MLB superstar.
Revenue from the suites helps support hospitality operations, training, tutoring, and community programs. This creates a virtuous cycle—the more the destination brand grows in recognition, the more guests it attracts, the more revenue flows back to founders, and the more the academy can expand. It’s a model that turns a profit into a purpose, and a purpose into a perpetually strengthening asset.
An Invitation, Not a Transaction
The Founders Club is structured as a limited circle of early supporters—a fact underscored by the “Four Suites Remaining” notice that instills a sense of scarcity and urgency. This scarcity is not a marketing gimmick; it’s a deliberate choice to keep the community intimate and the inventory valuable.
Founders gain naming rights for their suite, a place on a permanent Founders Wall, access to exclusive retreats, and even a signature dish that stamps their identity on the property. These are the hallmarks of a club built for legacy, not a fleeting investment fad.
In an era where investors increasingly seek assets that generate income while aligning with personal values, the Bohol Coconuts Founders Club offers a rare synthesis.
The 60/40 model isn’t just a clever financial mechanism—it’s the circulatory system of a living project that promises to keep pumping for decades. For those looking to plant a flag in the tropics, the question may no longer be “Why invest in a suite?” but rather, “Which suite will tell the story I want to leave behind?”
