Island Cove was an online gambling complex primarily owned and controlled by Chinese nationals in Island Cove and Animal Island in Kawit, Cavite, Philippines.
It was originally a resort and leisure park called "Covelandia Island Resort", which then closed in 2018, then reopened under the name "Island Cove Resort and Leisure Park" or simply as "Island Cove" in 2021. Both were owned by the Remulla political family before it hosted a hub for Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs). The site was operated by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) before it was shut down in 2024.
Island Cove used to be known as Pulo ni Burunggoy (transl. Burunggoy's Island).[1]
